sensor.krisinformation

Component to get Krisinformation for Home Assistant.

Will get all messages from Krisinformations api in a set radius from your coordinates. If one of the fetched messages is an alert as opposed to news, the state of the sensor will be "Alert". The sensor contains all fetched messages as objects.

Use together with custom card for Lovelace.

This component is supported by Custom updater and Tracker card.

Installation:

1. Install this component by creating a custom_components folder in the same folder as your configuration.yaml is, if you don't already have one.
2. Inside that folder, create another folder named krisinformation. Put the sensor.py file in there (if you copy and paste the code, make sure you do it from the raw version of the file).
3. Add the code to your configuration.yaml using the config options below.
4. You will need to restart after installation for the component to start working.

• If you're having issues, ask for help on the forums or post an issue.

Configuration variables:

Example minimal configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: krisinformation

Example country alerts configuration.yaml

sensor:

Usage

Example automation for getting a notification when the sensor has an alert: Make sure you change the sensor name if you didn't use the default name.

automation:
  - alias: 'Krisinformation Alert'
    initial_state: 'on'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.krisinformation
      to: "Alert"
    action:
      - service: notify.my_phone
        data_template:
          message: >
            {{states.sensor.krisinformation.attributes.messages[0].Headline}} - {{states.sensor.krisinformation.attributes.messages[0].Message}} {{states.sensor.krisinformation.attributes.messages[0].Web}}
