# AstroWeather

> AstroWeather is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 957 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 26, 2026.

AstroWeather is a custom integration that produces an astronomical conditions forecast for a telescope location. It uses forecast data from Met.no and Open-Meteo, which it fetches over the internet from the vendor's cloud services. It adds sensors, binary sensors and a weather entity to Home Assistant. Setup asks for a location name, latitude, longitude, elevation and timezone, plus weightings for cloud coverage, fog, seeing, transparency and calmness. The influence of high, medium and low clouds can be adjusted, and the update interval is configurable from one minute to four hours. Several instances can run at once, even in different timezones, and a separate custom weather card is available for dashboards.

## Entities

- **Binary sensors**: GFS Supplementary Data

## Actions

- **Refresh**: Fetch fresh data now for the targeted AstroWeather instances, or for all of them if no target is given. Targets are refreshed one after the other.

## From the README

> This is a Custom Integration for Home Assistant 2023.9+. It uses the forecast data from Met.no and Open-Meteo to generate sensor data for an astronomical condiditions forecast in Home Assistant.
>
> There is also a custom weather card available here as seen in the screenshot above.
