Home Assistant component for the Windcentrale & Winddelen
The Windcentrale component is a Home Assistant component which lets you get sensor and news data from all wind turbines.

- Ensure that HACS is installed.
- Click on the
+ Explore & download repositories - Search for "Windcentrale" and install the integration.
- Restart your instance.
- Download the
windcentrale.zipfile from the latest release. - Unpack the release and copy the files into the
custom_components/windcentraledirectory. - Restart your instance.
The Windcentrale component can be configured by config flow.
Go to Settings and then Devices & Services, select Integrations and click on the + add integration, select Windcentrale and configure the setup on the form.
Fill in your email address and password that you use for signing in to the website, and press submit.
Go to Settings and then Devices & Service, select Integrations and search for the integration Windcentrale and click on configure. Here you change if you want to show the wind trubine(s) on the map.
These sensors show live data from the wind turbine.
| ID | Type | Description | Unit of Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
sensor.name |
Int | The total amount of power you currently generate with the number of wind shares. | Watt (W) |
sensor.name_energy |
Int | The energy that the wind turbine has produced this year. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_energy_prognoses_this_year |
Float | The percentage of how much the wind turbine should produce in a year. | Percentage (%) |
sensor.name_energy_shares |
Float | The energy that your shares of the wind turbine has produced this year. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_hours_run_this_year |
Int | The number of hours the wind turbine has operated this year. | Hours (h) |
sensor.name_hours_run_total |
Int | The number of hours the wind turbine has operated in total. | Hours (h) |
sensor.name_last_update |
DateTime | Returns when the wind turbine last updated. | DateTime |
sensor.name_power_per_share |
Int | The power per wind share that the wind turbine currently generates. | Watt (W) |
sensor.name_power_percentage |
Int | The ability in percentage the wind turbine can generate power. | Percentage (%) |
sensor.name_power_total |
Int | The total power that the wind turbine currently generates. | Kilowatt (kW) |
binary_sensor.name_pulsating |
Bool | The wind turbine is at max power. | Boolean |
sensor.name_revolutions_per_minute |
Float | The speed at which the blades of the wind turbine rotate. | Revolutions Per minute (RPM) |
sensor.name_run_percentage |
Float | The percentage of the wind turbine is operational since the start date. | Percentage (%) |
sensor.name_wind_direction |
String | The direction of the wind at the wind turbine. | Wind rose |
sensor.name_wind_speed |
Int | The speed of the wind at the wind turbine. | Beaufort scale (BFT) |
These sensors show how much power the wind turbine has delivered over a certain time. These sensors are not displaying live data. These senors are updated around noon the following day.
| ID | Type | Description | Unit of Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
sensor.name_production_year_total |
Int | The energy produced by the wind turbine total this year. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_production_month_total |
Int | The energy produced by the wind turbine total this month. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_production_week_total |
Int | The energy produced by the wind turbine total this week. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_production_year_shares |
Int | The energy produced by your shares of the wind turbine this year. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_production_month_shares |
Int | The energy produced by your shares of the wind turbine this month. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
sensor.name_production_week_shares |
Int | The energy produced by your shares of the wind turbine this week. | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
This sensor shows the latest news.
The value of sensor.the_windcentrale_news doesn't change because the news string is longer than 255 characters. There for the state is static and will always report News.
The attributes have no limit on characters there for I made a solution.
Create a markdown card with the following content:
type: markdown
content: '{{ state_attr(''sensor.the_windcentrale_news'', ''News Item'') }}'An example of what it should look like:
Below is an example of the sensors.
To use of Energy Management tab you need to use the sensor sensor.name_energy_shares
The sensor state_class is "total" and not "total_increasing" because of energy use of the wind turbine. If the wind turbine is not spinning the wind turbine can use more power than it produces. Found this on their site:
But there is also a problem. The API uses live data for the power management tab. But for the graph on the official site has a small correction. But this means there is a difference between the graph of energy management tab and the official site. This also means that when the day is past, the total does not match the correct values. When I have found a solution I will certainly update it.
If you found a solution please start a Discussion.
Special Thanks to all contributors
- @vdheidenet: Sharing his data for creating the signing in function
- @rob-on-git: For creating a formula for the run percentage sensor
Thanks to everyone having starred my repo!
This integration is not developed, nor supported by the windcentrale company.
There is put a lot of work into making this repo and component available. If you want to make donation as appreciation of my work, you can buy me a coffee. Thank you!
