Brandrisk Ute

Component to get swedish outdoors fire risks for Home Assistant.

The custom compontnet will, while using the supplied position, get fire risks and fire prohibition information from MSB's Brandrisk Ute API. The plugin supplies three different sensors:

1. Current risk
2. 3 days forecast
3. Fire prohibition

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 brandriskute. 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 configuration to your configuration.yaml using the config options below.
4. You will need to restart after installation for the component to start working.
