Hi everyone!

For our Dutch and Belgian friends: **Buienradar** in Gladys, no key  
or account needed. It’s a **weather provider** : it feeds the weather widget and  
Gladys assistant, just like Météo-France or DWD.

**What it does**

- **Current weather** from the nearest Buienradar station: temperature, feels  
like, dew point, wind and gusts, humidity, pressure, visibility, sunrise and  
sunset. Plus **5-day forecasts**.
- **Rain radar** for the Netherlands and Belgium, in the weather widget.
- **Rain for the next 2 hours** , in 5-minute intervals, for each house placed  
on the map: what makes Buienradar famous.
- **Two scene triggers** : «&nbsp;Rain expected&nbsp;» (in 5 to 120 minutes, light, moderate  
or heavy) and «&nbsp;Rain stopped&nbsp;» (after 15 minutes dry).
- **A scene action** «&nbsp;Rain for the next 2 hours&nbsp;»: dry or not, minutes before  
rain, peak, total, and a summary ready to send (French, English or Dutch).
- **A widget** «&nbsp;Rain for the next 2 hours&nbsp;»: a graph in 5-minute intervals.

**The cool thing**

- Rain expected → garden watering is canceled.
- In the morning, before leaving by bike: «&nbsp;Dry until 9:40, then light shower&nbsp;».

**Installation**

Gladys 5.1 minimum. It will be in the store at the next indexer run. In a  
rush? **Integrations → Install from GitHub** , with the address

Accept access to the position of your houses and check that your house is  
placed on the map. Nothing else to configure: **Test Buienradar** confirms  
that everything responds.

**A few reservations**

- **Coverage** : current weather comes from Dutch stations. A house within 80 km  
of one of them is covered (the Netherlands, northern Belgium, the German  
border). Rain in 2 hours and the radar cover the Netherlands and all of  
Belgium. Outside coverage, Gladys switches to its next weather provider.
- No hourly forecasts: the Buienradar stream doesn’t provide them.
- It was dry everywhere on the day of development. The rain format comes from  
real responses, but feedback during a real downpour would be very welcome.
- Buienradar data is free for non-commercial use, with source attribution:  
«&nbsp;Data: Buienradar.nl&nbsp;» is displayed everywhere.

Developed with **Claude Code**. Independent project, not affiliated with  
Buienradar.
