Ambient Weather Station
ambient_station
The Ambient Weather Station integration retrieves local weather information via personal weather stations from Ambient Weather.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |

sensor | Sensor (CO₂, PM10, PM2.5, humidity, light level, temperature) |
What people report

| Ambient Weather station | Partly works Cloud | API key rejected for days, then worked again without changesSaved copyThe problem My Ambient Weather integration just stopped working about a week back.

I did create a new application key as well as API key, but the HA Integration still gives that error. I even … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #126575 · 2024-09 |
