21-22: Clarify and align documentation style for API details.

Consider adding “the” before “DataHub API documentation” for consistency with HA docs style:

- Details about the API are available in the [DataHub API documentation](…).
+ Details about the API are available in the [the DataHub API documentation](…).

26-26: Add missing article in prerequisites.

Insert “The” to improve readability:

- Free tier subscription gives 360 calls per day…
+ The free tier subscription gives 360 calls per day…

30-35: Refine table headers to match Home Assistant conventions.

HA docs generally use “Option” and “Description” rather than “Parameter” and “Value”:

| Parameter | Value                   |
| :-------- | :---------------------- |

| Option    | Description             |
| :-------- | :---------------------- |

38-43: Improve entity section clarity.

  • Rename header to “### Weather Entity” for specificity.
  • Either replace the <integration name> placeholder with metoffice or explicitly call out that it’s a placeholder.

44-47: Use plural form for sensor section heading.

Change “### Sensor” → “### Sensors” to align with the list of multiple sensors below.


48-61: Optimize sensor table ordering and consistency.

  • Consider ordering sensors alphabetically or by importance (e.g., temperature first).
  • Ensure units (e.g., “%”) are consistently formatted across humidity and precipitation entries.

62-64: Eliminate redundant phrasing.

Simplify the sentence:

- Entity IDs follow the following format:
+ Entity IDs use the format:

26-26: Add missing article for grammatical correctness
Insert “The” before “free tier subscription” to improve readability:

21-22: Approve: Added DataHub API and Python client links
This directs users to the official DataHub API docs and datapoint-python library for implementation details.


30-35: Approve: Configuration option table
The new table clearly outlines the required parameters and descriptions.


38-38: Approve: Weather subsection header
Consistent with other integrations, the “Weather” subsection is well-placed.


40-42: Approve: Weather entity table
The table clearly presents the weather entity ID format and available forecasts.


44-44: Approve: Sensor subsection header
The header aligns with the overall structure and follows documentation standards.


46-46: Approve: Sensor introduction line
This line effectively explains that individual sensors are created for each condition.


48-60: Approve: Sensor conditions table
Comprehensive list of sensor entities with descriptions and default state.


62-62: Approve: Entity ID format note
Clear guidance on sensor entity ID formatting.


64-64: Approve: Example ID snippet
The c 8000 ode snippet clearly illustrates the naming convention.

Details about the API are available in the [DataHub API documentation](https://datahub.metoffice.gov.uk/docs/f/category/site-specific/overview). The [datapoint-python](https://github.com/EJEP/datapoint-python) library is used to retrieve data.
| Condition | Description | Enabled by default |
| :----------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ |
| `weather` | [Weather condition](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/weather/#recommended-values-for-state-and-condition). | Yes |

  • avoid tables and use lists instead.
  • Please use the sensor name as it is displayed in the UI, not in YAML
