Home Assistant Dashboard for Ambient Weather Stations

Ambient Weather devices are cool. The Integration with Home Assistant is really well done. But what's really epic is to combine the Ambient Weather station with a lovelace dashboard. This tutorial will show you how to do all of it!
One cool thing I added in this video was a way to integrate the Ambient Website with your dashboard even if you don't have a device! This uses a neighbors station, but it works really well (and it's using data that is publicly available).

This video tutorial walks you thorough every aspect, from the integration setup with API keys and AppIDs to the dashboard setup including a custom HACS Compass integration.
