Animated Weather Card

Live weather, on your dashboard.

A Home Assistant card that turns your forecast into a living sky. This is the real card, running in your browser: change the weather and the hour, and watch it follow.

Weather

Time of day
Palette

Light and dark follow your Home Assistant theme.

Needs the Flightradar24 integration, from HACS.

At home on your dashboard. Full size, a compact strip, and the sun tracker to match.

A sections dashboard at its real size, the card among tile cards: full size in a section that spans two columns, and as a strip over the sun tracker. Each card measures the room it's given and lays itself out for it, on any screen.

Screen

dashboard.yaml

Your AI writes the note. In the voice you pick.

Turn the note on and the card hands Home Assistant's AI the hours ahead: when the rain starts and stops, the high and the low, the gusts. It writes back a line and a longer note, and the card shows whichever fits. Every screen you sign in on shares that one note.

Voice

Weather

A storm gets plain advice, whatever the voice.

Needs an AI Task in Home Assistant 2025.8 or later: set it up. On this page, notes written by hand stand in for the AI.

note.yaml

Your station sets the numbers. The forecast still paints the sky.

Point the card at your own sensors and it shows what they measure: temperature, feels like, humidity, wind and pressure, indoors and out. Your wind also sets how fast the weather moves; the sky still comes from your weather entity.

Tune the weather. More rain, bigger clouds, a higher splash.

Seven settings scale the engine. Take hold of one and the card shows the weather it changes; let go, and the new weather settles in. The editor's sliders cover the useful range, and YAML takes more.

Engine

Or quiet it

engine.yaml

Paint your own sky. A colour per condition, and the sun, rain and snow to match.

Each sky colour becomes a whole sky for that condition, lighter overhead and deeper at the horizon, with the same shading behind the metrics, at every hour. Start from a palette, or set each colour yourself. Sky palette only.

colors.yaml

The day, drawn by the sun. Now, and the next sunrise or sunset.

The sun tracker comes in the same download. It draws the sun's path through your day, counts down to the next sunrise or sunset, and, with Home Assistant's Moon integration, names the moon's phase.

Sun tracker size

On a phone, at its real width.

tracker.yaml

Your card, in YAML.

Every control on this page is a real option. Paste this into a Manual card on your dashboard and swap in your own entities.
