19-22: Fix formatting and enhance subscription detailsThe content is accurate but needs some formatting improvements and clarification.
Apply these changes:

19-19: Consider adding migration notesSince this is a significant API transition from DataPoint to DataHub, users might benefit from migration instructions.
Consider adding a migration section:
## Migrating from DataPoint API If you're upgrading from a previous version that used the DataPoint API: 1. You'll need to register for a new DataHub account 2. Your existing DataPoint API key will not work 3. Subscribe to the Site Specific Global Spot dataset 4. Reconfigure the integration with your new API key🧰 Tools

28-45: Verify the visibility entity status and improve section structure
The entities section needs clarification and verification.
-
Please verify if the "visibility" entity should be in the list, as the AI summary indicates it was removed.
-
Consider restructuring the entities section for better readability:
-This integration creates a number of weather entities for each entry created in the configuration by location: one weather entity with a summary and a forecast (twice-daily and hourly), and twelve sensor entities for individual reporting on each of the individual measurements. Note that only some of the sensor entities flagged below are enabled by default, so your system isn't overrun on initial configuration.
+This integration creates the following entities for each configured location:
+
+### Weather Entity
+- One weather entity providing:
+ - Current weather summary
+ - Twice-daily forecast
+ - Hourly forecast
+
+### Sensor Entities
+The following sensor entities are available (✓ = enabled by default):
+
+- "feels like" temperature
+- humidity
+- pressure ✓
+- probability of precipitation ✓
+- station name
+- temperature ✓
+- UV index
+- visibility
+- weather ✓
+- wind direction
+- wind gust
+- wind speed ✓
-Only probability of precipitation, pressure, temperature, weather and wind speed are enabled by default.|

💡 Codebase verification
Based on the search results, I can generate the final response as I have found clear evidence about the datapoint-python library's status with the Met Office integration:
Documentation needs update: datapoint-python library reference is outdated
The documentation is incorrect. According to the changelog entries from release 2024.2, while the datapoint-python library (v0.9.9) is still used, there were compatibility issues with the DataHub API that were reported upstream (EJEP/datapoint-python#183). The documentation should be updated to reflect this transition period and potential limitations.
🔗 Analysis chain
Verify datapoint-python library compatibility with DataHub API
The documentation references the datapoint-python library, but the integration has moved to the DataHub API.
Please verify:
- Is the datapoint-python library still used with the DataHub API?
- If yes, does it support the DataHub API?
- If no, should we update the library reference?
Run this script to check the core implementation:

Proposed change
Metoffice integration is transitioning from Datapoint API to DataHub API which requires changes to documentation.
