Weather entities (forecast + alerts)

What it does

A curated list of weather integrations that pair well with van life (forecast, alerts, sunrise/sunset), plus guidance on wiring them into the RoamCore dashboard.

Why it’s useful in a van

  • Avoid unsafe conditions (wind, snow, heat)
  • Plan travel days and energy usage

How to install

  • None (optional outdoor sensors improve accuracy)

  • Start with Home Assistant’s weather integration of choice, then set the RoamCore helper to point at it.

  • RoamCore helper: input_text.rc_weather_entity_id
  • HA package: homeassistant/packages/roamcore_weather_time.yaml
  • (Add best integrations + vanlife weather resources here)
