===== complex mutli-class apps =====

Direct imports of classes defined in another file doesn't work.
Possible solutions:
  - put all class in main app file
  - use global module [[https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/APPGUIDE.html#global-module-dependencies
  - do it in right way [[https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/APPGUIDE.html#app-dependencies|app-dependencies]]
    - create more small apps
    - make main app depend on them
    - get access to other apps using [[https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/3.0.4/AD_API_REFERENCE.html#get-app|get_app()]]

===== create sensors =====

With first call to ''set_state'' sensor will be created in HA.


===== weather sensors =====

Access as ''sensor'':
<code python>
wind = self.get_state("sensor.openweathermap_wind_speed")
temp = self.get_state("sensor.openweathermap_feels_like_temperature")
</code>

Access as ''weather'':
<code python>
WEATHER_SENSOR="weather.openweathermap"
temp = self.get_state(WEATHER_SENSOR, attribute="temperature")
tempa = self.get_state(WEATHER_SENSOR, attribute="apparent_temperature")
wind = self.get_state(WEATHER_SENSOR, attribute="wind_speed")

forecast = self.get_state(WEATHER_SENSOR, attribute="forecast")
for f in forecast:
  self.log("forecast: %s %s", f["datetime"], f["temperature"])
