Module Dynamic Weather

Dynamic Weather

Module type: dynamic_weather · Category: Media · Pro

Animated weather effects (rain, snow, fog, sun beams) overlaid on your dashboard view.

Features

• Rain — varying intensity, drop size, wind angle
• Snow — flake size, density, wind drift
• Fog — opacity, layer count, drift speed
• Sun beams — ray count, intensity, color
• Clouds — drifting cloud layers
• Lightning — random flashes (rain + storm modes)
• Driven by a HA weather.* entity, sensor.* template, or manual selection
• Overlay opacity to balance with dashboard readability
• Conditional via Logic-and-Conditions (e.g. "snow only on snow-day input")

Configuration

Source

• Weather entity — weather.* whose state drives the effect
• Manual — pick a fixed effect
• Template — Jinja2 expression returning the effect name

Per-effect

• Intensity (1–10)
• Particle size
• Color
• Wind direction / speed
• Layer count

Display

• Overlay opacity
• Bring-to-front toggle (default off — sits behind content)

Logic / Design

Standard 4-tab editor.

Examples

• Auto-weather — bind to weather.home, automatically rains when state is rainy, snows when snowy.
• Cozy winter mode — manual snow + sun beams when input_boolean.cozy_mode is on.
• Storm visualization — heavy rain + occasional lightning when severe storm sensor is active.

Notes

• Implemented via Three.js (three@0.181.1) particle systems. Rendering scales to viewport size.
• Performance is configurable — reduce layer count and intensity on slower devices.
• Hide on mobile via Logic → Hidden on devices to save battery.
