Mars Weather Component

This is a custom component for Home Assistant that provides Mars weather information.

It uses the NASA Open APIs to retrieve data from Mars InSight Lander. It provides the following information:

• Sol
• Temperature (C)
• Air Pressure (Pa)
• Wind Speed (kmph)

Installation/Configuration

To install the component, clone this repository and copy the mars_weather directory to your custom components directory in your config.

config_dir/custom_components/mars_weather

You will also need to register an account to get an API key. To generate a key, go to the NASA Open API page and register.

To register the integration in home assistant you will need to add it to your configuration. There is a choice between a sensor and weather type entity.

  - platform: mars_weather
