Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) Weather Warnings
The dwd_weather_warnings
sensor platform uses the Deutsche Wetter Dienst (DWD) as a source for current and advance warnings.
- A name is optional but if multiple regions are used a name will be required.
- The sensor checks for new data every 15 minutes.
Configuration
To add the DWD WarnApp sensor to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: dwd_weather_warnings
region_name: Hansestadt Hamburg
- The
region_name
can either be a so calledwarncell id
(integer) or awarncell name
(string). It is heavily advised to usewarncell id
becausewarncell name
is not unique in some cases.
A list of valid warncell ids and names can be found at here. - Some of the warncells are outdated but still listed. If setup fails search the list for a similar sounding warncell.
- If you selected a
warncell name
and the name is not unique" (not unique used ID)!"
will be added to the reportedregion_name
.
Configuration Variables
The region name = warncell name (string) or region id = warncell id (integer) taken from DWD homepage.
