Configuration
To enable this integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more], add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI. [Learn more] file.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: swiss_hydrological_data
station: STATION_ID
monitored_conditions:
- temperature
- level
- discharge
Sensors are exposing additional values through their attributes for all available conditions:
-
max-24h
: The maximum measurement for the last 24 hours. -
mean-24h
: The mean measurement for the last 24 hours. -
min-24h
: The minimum measurement for the last 24 hours. -
station_update
: There is a time span between the sensor update in Home Assistant and the updates from the stations. Include those information if you are building automations based on the discharge of a water body.
The sensors don’t show the latest measurement, but those from the last hour due to the source of data. Some stations also don’t provide data for certain measurements.
The hydrological measurements are coming from the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (Bundesamt für Umwelt - Abt. Hydrologie)
