Hello again,

here comes an update for every user who can’t use the [german weather warnings app](https://homey.app/de-de/app/de.ronnywinkler.homey.dwdwarnings/DWD-Wetterwarnungen/).  
The OpenWeather app has included weather warnings now ⚠ ⛈ ⚠

Version 1.2.0:

> **[OpenWeather](https://homey.app/de-de/app/nu.baretta.openweathermap/OpenWeather/)**
>
> Erhalte aktuelle Wetterdaten und Vorhersagen von openweathermap.org

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 🤷‍♂️

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.
