| The `buienradar` platform uses [buienradar.nl](http://buienradar.nl/) as an source for current meteorological data for your location. The | ||
| weather forecast is delivered by Buienradar, who provides a webservice that provides detailed weather information for users in The Netherlands. | ||
| The relevant weatherstation used will be automatically selected based on the location specified in the HA config (or in the buienradar weather/sensor component). |

Avoid the use of HA and instead write out the full name of Home Assistant. Similarly config should be configuration.

Suggest rewriting this as
Full configuration example where location is manually specified.
Also this example could differ from the one above and one could only use a subset of the monitored_conditions.

Remove the name variable since it's not a required variable. It's better to limit the example configuration to only required variables since it's often copy and pasted.
| Configuration variables: | ||
| - **platform** (*Required*): buienradar | ||
| - **name** (*Optional*): A name for the weather platform. | ||
| - **latitude** (*Optional*): latitude to use for selection of data source location. Longitude & latitude will be taken from HA configuration, but can be overridden/changed in this component to select a different location for buienradar. |

HA should be replaced with Home Assistant
