[App][Pro] OpenWeather

Hello again,

here comes an update for every user who can’t use the german weather warnings app.
The OpenWeather app has included weather warnings now :warning: :cloud_with_lightning_and_rain: :warning:

Version 1.2.0:

Add the new device as a child device for your location (like a forecast device).

You get sensor values for the current warning situation:

The app uses the OWM weather data. Depending on the source of the alerts, they can be a bit weired.
For Germany, the sour is the German Meteorological Office. But the alerts are sometimes duplicated in germyn and english - like in the example above. So please don’t wonder about such mixtures.

Here is an example of the OWM data:

As you can see, you can’t filter or group the elements. So it’s better than nothing :man_shrugging:

You can use flow trigger and conditions for the alarm and the number of alerts.
The device displays a maximum of five warnings

This new functionality is only partly tested (there are not so many alerts today). So please report issues here.

PS: The alert descriptions are stored in capabilities which can be used in flows as global tags to send the content as push message or write it to the timeline.
