Hey everyone, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that might be useful for others! I’ve created a custom integration for the German flood warning system. It’s been a fun project, and I’m excited to see how it can help others stay informed about potential flood risks in their area.The integration pulls data from the Länderübergreifendes Hochwasser Portal, which aggregates flood warning information from various regions. I’ve set it up so that you can easily add it to your Home Assistant installation. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to do:1. Add the Integration: Copy the files from my GitHub repository to your custom_components folder. You can find the repository here.2. Configure Your Sensors: Edit your configuration.yaml file to include the sensors you’re interested in. For example, if you want to monitor the Isar river in Munich, you’d add something like this:yaml- platform: hochwasserportal pegel: BY_16005701 level: True stage: True flow: True3. Restart Home Assistant: After setting everything up, restart your Home Assistant installation. You should see three new sensors appear in your dashboard, providing real-time data on water levels, flood stages, and flow rates.I’ve also included a list of valid measurement points on GitHub, so you can easily find the ones relevant to your area. Keep in mind that not all measurement points report all three values, so you might need to adjust your configuration accordingly.This integration has been a great way for me to stay proactive about flood risks, especially with the unpredictable weather we’ve been having. I hope it can be as helpful for others! If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to reach out or check out the GitHub page for more details. Happy integrating! ![]()
