Home Assistant - SA CFS Fire Danger

Home Assistant Custom Integration to pull SA CFS Fire Danger Ratings and Fire Ban information.

WARNING

This integration is still in development and rapid changes may break things!

It's also almost 99% generated by LLM's, so likely a bit sloppy.

If you're here, you've probably been sent the link to test for me, or you're very very lost.

Installation

Install as a custom repository in HACS, and the config flow will let you select which districts you want to monitor. v0.1.3 adds a custom card for the single gauge.

Data Refresh

At the moment it scrapes the data every 60 mins, and stores the last update time as the status of sensor.sa_cfs_fire_danger.

Whilst it normally returns 5 days worth of data, for some reason at certain times the CFS XML will have duplicate data for day 1 and 2. The code will cycle through and ignore duplicate data is present, and move days forward - leaving day 5 as N/A sometimes. I had considered whether to just drop day 5 completely but for now it remains.

Still working on when it refreshes officially, as it sometimes has 5 days worth, and other times day 1 is repeated twice.

CFS Fire Ban Districts

Adelaide Metropolitan
Mount Lofty Ranges
Kangaroo Island
Mid North
Yorke Peninsula

Flinders
North East Pastoral
Eastern Eyre Peninsula
North West Pastoral
Lower Eyre Peninsula
West Coast

Fire Danger Ratings

The AFDRS has 5 levels of rating:

No Rating
Moderate
High
Extreme
Catastrophic

Main Sensor

By default this integration will create a sensor called sensor.sa_cfs_fire_danger, with the state of the last update (in hh:mm dd/mm/yyyy format), and the following attributes:

Attribute	Example Data	Comments
`icon`	mdi:fire-alert
`friendly_name`	SA CFS Fire Danger
`district_count`	15	Internal, used when cycling data
`day_1_name`	Saturday	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_1_date`	04/10	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_2_name`	Sunday	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_2_date`	05/10	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_3_name`	Monday	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_3_date`	06/10	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_4_name`	Tuesday	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_4_date`	07/10	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_5_name`	Wednesday	Used for config-template-card variables
`day_5_date`	08/10	Used for config-template-card variables

It then creates three attributes for each of the 15 CFS Fire Danger districts:

Attribute	Example Data	Comments
`adelaide_metropolitan_rating`	No Rating
`adelaide_metropolitan_fbi`	0
`adelaide_metropolitan_fireban`	No

Specific District Sensors

During the config flow, you can select none, or any number of specific districts to monitor, this will then create a new sensor sensor.sa_cfs_DISTRICTNAME with the state as the current Fire Danger Rating, and the following attributes:

Attribute	Example Data	Comments
`district_name`	Flinders
`day_1_rating`	Moderate
`day_1_fbi`	15
`day_1_fireban`	No
`day_1_name`	Saturday	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_1_date`	04/10	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_2_rating`	Moderate
`day_2_fbi`	20
`day_2_fireban`	No
`day_2_name`	Sunday	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_2_date`	05/10	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_3_rating`	No Rating
`day_3_fbi`	10
`day_3_fireban`	No
`day_3_name`	Monday	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_3_date`	06/10	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_4_rating`	No Rating
`day_4_fbi`	8
`day_4_fireban`	No
`day_4_name`	Tuesday	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_4_date`	07/10	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_5_rating`	No Rating
`day_5_fbi`	10
`day_5_fireban`	No
`day_5_name`	Wednesday	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`day_5_date`	08/10	Now in main sensor, possibly to be removed from here
`icon`	mdi:map-marker-alert-outline	Possibly change to mdi:fire-alert to match main sensor
`friendly_name`	SA CFS Flinders

Usage/Examples

Example code shows Flinders district, and possibly a few Sections specific configurations as these were pulled from my test setup.

Custom Card

Same as the original picture entity card with fire ban overlay - now has a custom card and GUI config to set it up:

Picture Entity

Picture Entity to show the coloured wheel. 3 different style SVG's I've found are included, or use your own. Change the images to gauge1 / gauge2 / gauge3 as needed for the different styles.

type: picture-entity
entity: sensor.sa_cfs_flinders
fit_mode: contain
show_state: false
show_name: false
state_image:
  unknown: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-unavailable.svg
  No Rating: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-norating.svg
  Moderate: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-moderate.svg
  High: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-high.svg
  Extreme: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-extreme.svg
  Catastrophic: /hacsfiles/sa_cfs_fire_danger/afdr-gauge1-catastrophic.svg

Picture Elements with Fire Ban overlay

Picture Entity to show the coloured wheel as above, but with a WIP overlay icon if today is a fire ban. This is currently a bit hacky as requires a Template binary sensor with the specific region set.

{{ state_attr('sensor.sa_cfs_flinders', 'day_1_fireban') == 'Yes' }}

Multiple District Forecast Table (with Fire Bans)
