# DwdUnwetter Binding
Binding to retrieve the Weather Warnings of the "Deutscher Wetterdienstes" from the [DWD Geoserver](https://maps.dwd.de/geoserver/web/).
The DWD provides weather warnings for Germany.
Regions outside of Germany are not supported.
## Supported Things
This binding supports one thing, the Weather Warning.
Each Thing provides one or more warnings for a city.
## Thing Configuration
| Property | Default | Required | Description |
|--------------|---------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| cellId | - | Yes | ID of the area to retrieve weather warnings. See [this list](https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/opendata/help/warnungen/cap_warncellids_csv.csv) of valid IDs. Using the percent sign (%) as a wildcard, it is possible to query multiple cells. For example, the value `8111%` retrieves all cell IDs that start with `8111`. |
| refresh | 30 | No | Time between API requests in minutes. Minimum 15 minutes. |
| warningCount | 1 | No | Number of warnings to provide. |
The binding will deliver no warnings if the number of retrieved warnings for one Thing is too big.
This can only happen if you select too many cell IDs (more than about 300) with the percent wildcard.
Example:
```
dwdunwetter:dwdwarnings:cologne "Warnings Cologne" [ cellId="105315000", refresh=15, warningCount=1 ]
```
## Channels
The are multiple channels for every weather warning.
The channels are numbered, with channel names ending in 1 for the first warning, 2 for the second warning, and so on.
The warnings will be sorted first by `Severity` and then by the `Valid From` date.
This ensures that the channels for the first warning will always be the highest Severity.
If the API returns more warnings than the configured number in the Thing, the warnings with the lowest Severity will be dropped.
| Channel | Type | Description |
|--------------|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| warningN | Switch | ON if a warning is present |
| UpdatedN | Trigger Channel | Triggers NEW when a warning is sent the first time |
| severityN | String | Severity of the warning. Possible values are Minor, Moderate, Severe, and Extreme|
| headlineN | String | Headline of the warning (e.g. "Amtliche Warnung vor FROST") |
| descriptionN | String | Textual description of the warning |
| eventN | String | Type of the warning (e.g. FROST) |
| effectiveN | DateTime | Issued Date and Time |
| onsetN | DateTime | Start Date and Time for which the warning is valid |
| expiresN | DateTime | End Date and Time for which the warning is valid |
| altitudeN | Number:Length | Lower Height above sea level for which the warning is valid |
| ceilingN | Number:Length | Upper Height above sea level for which the warning is valid |
| urgencyN | String | Urgency of the warning. Possible values are Future and Immediate |
| instructionN | String | Additional instructions and safety information |
All channels are readonly.
The main purpose of the channel `warningN` is to be used for controlling visibility in sitemaps.
The channel can also be used in rules to check if there is a warning present.
It should not be used for rules that need to fire if a new warning shows up.
If a warning is replaced by another warning, that channel stays at ON, and there will be no state change.
For rules that need to fire if a new warning occurs, there is the trigger channel `updatedN`.
That trigger channel fires an event whenever a warning is sent for the first time.
It also triggers if a warning is replaced by another.
More explanations about the specific values of the channels can be found in the documentation of the DWD at: [CAP DWD Profile 1.2](https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/opendata/help/warnungen/cap_dwd_profile_de_pdf.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=7)
