RosCard Weather Card Guide
Configure the RosCard Weather Card to display current weather conditions and forecasts directly on your Astrion Remote. Supports temperature, humidity, wind, and detailed forecasts.
Overview
The RosCard Weather Card provides a dedicated interface for displaying
weather information on your Astrion Remote. It works with any Home Assistant
weather entity — including built-in integrations like Meteo-France,
OpenWeatherMap, WeatherFlow, and many others.
The Weather Card displays current temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, and weather condition icons, with optional multi-day forecasts for quick planning.

Troubleshooting
Weather Card Not Showing on Astrion Remote
- Refresh the remote: Pull down from the top of the home screen and tap Refresh.
- Verify entity exists: Make sure the weather entity is available in Home Assistant.
- Check YAML format: Ensure your configuration uses the correct syntax and indentation.
- Update RosCard: If you're running an older version, update RosCard via HACS.
Weather Data Not Displaying
- Check entity status: Verify the weather entity is available and not unavailable in Home Assistant.
- Test in Home Assistant: Check the weather entity's attributes in Developer Tools → States.
- Check API key: If using OpenWeatherMap or similar, ensure your API key is valid.
- Wait for update: Weather entities update on a schedule — wait for the next update cycle.
Forecast Not Showing
- Ensure your weather integration supports forecasts (not all do).
- Check the entity's attributes for
forecastdata in Developer Tools. - Some integrations require additional configuration to enable forecasts.
Wrong Location or Temperature Unit
- Configure the weather integration with the correct location.
- Temperature units are determined by your Home Assistant unit system (metric/imperial).
- You can change unit preferences in Home Assistant → Settings → General.
🔧 Note: After updating RosCard to a new version, you may need to resave all your Weather Cards to refresh the binding. This is a known requirement for version updates.
