+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+OpenWeatherMap (OWM) service.
+
+Configuration:
+
+To use the OpenWeatherMap sensor you will need to add something like the
+following to your config/configuration.yaml
+
+sensor:
+  platform: openweathermap
+  api_key: YOUR_APP_KEY
+  monitored_variables:
+    - type: 'weather'
+    - type: 'temperature'
+    - type: 'wind_speed'
+    - type: 'humidity'
+    - type: 'pressure'
+    - type: 'clouds'
+    - type: 'rain'
+    - type: 'snow'
+
+VARIABLES:
+
+api_key
+*Required
+To retrieve this value log into your account at http://openweathermap.org/
+
+monitored_variables
+*Required
+An array specifying the variables to monitor.
+
+These are the variables for the monitored_variables array:
+
+type
+*Required
+The variable you wish to monitor, see the configuration example above for a
+list of all available variables
+
+Details for the API : http://bugs.openweathermap.org/projects/api/wiki
+
+Only metric measurements are supported at the moment.
