Home Assistant How To - WWLLN World Wide Lightning Location network - check description

UPDATE: As of version 0.111 integration will be REMOVED since data is no longer available.
I'm currently working on DIY version of the sensor.
There is alternative Blitzortung integration available in HAVS for real time information

Today we are going to configure WWLLN - World Wide Lightning Location Network component and configure simple automation for it.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/wwlln/

Sound in the video has issues in two clips - audio filters failed.

There are two ways to do it - easiest way is to use Integrations page in Home Assistant and simply click + sign, select WWLLN. Here you can configure location if you want to track lightnings in area that's different then your home address and range from your home location.

But there is also YAML way, and we will configure WWLLN that way.

01:40 - in configuration.yaml file just add following:

wwlln:
radius: 20 # range from our lat/lon we want to track lightnings
longitude: 2.349014 # These are for Paris/France
latitude: 48.864716
window: 00:60:00 # This option will keep lightning information for specified amount of time

- if you have your latitude/longitude in secrets file, you can also use that data here

Don't forget to save file, check configuration and restart Home Assistant to activate WWLLN component.

05:21 - If you want to have automations with your WWLLN component, you have to create zone that will track lightnings in your area.

08:00 - crating automation is easy, just use GUI intefrace or copy these lines in aour automations.yaml file:

- id: '1576566788648'
alias: Thunderstruck
description: ''
trigger:
- event: enter
platform: geo_location
source: wwlln
zone: zone.lightning_zone
condition: []
action:
- data:
message: Thuderstruck
service: notify.beardedbot

And yes, I did get +2.000 notifications in Telegram :)

Don't forget to verify your configuration and reload automation for changes to take effect.
