Queensland Bushfire Alert
The qld_bushfire platform lets you integrate a
GeoRSS feed containing bushfire alerts for Queensland. It retrieves alerts from a feed
and shows information of those alerts filtered by distance to Home Assistant’s
location.
Entities are generated, updated and removed automatically with each update
from the feed. Each entity defines latitude and longitude and will be shown
on the default map automatically, or on a map card by defining the source
qld_bushfire. The distance in kilometers is available as the state
of each entity.
The data is updated every 5 minutes.
