Caution

Read the Breaking Changes before the update

Summary

This release is a complete rebuild of the integration. The sensor now uses the official Sveriges Radio VMA API instead of the previous Krisinformation API. Sveriges Radio is the primary source of public alerts in Sweden (Krisinformation previously pulled from this API), so this update enables direct access to the original source of VMA alerts.

✨ New Features

  • New data source: Now uses Sveriges Radio's VMA API for more accurate and timely alerts.
  • Municipality or County Filtering: You can now configure the sensor for a specific municipality, county, or nationwide. This provides much more targeted alerts based on your location.
  • Severity attribute: Each alert includes a severity level (e.g., Severe, Extreme) for better context.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Old configurations will break.
    Due to the significant changes, you must remove your old sensor integration and add it again manually.

  • New attribute names:
    If you used attributes in automations or dashboard cards, update them as follows:

    Old Attribute New Attribute
    Headline event
    Published sent
    PushMessage description
    (new) severity
    (new) areas

🔧 Installation Instructions

  1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services in Home Assistant.
  2. Remove your old krisinformation integration.
  3. Restart Home Assistant.
  4. Add the new integration.
  5. Select your municipality, county, or all of Sweden during configuration.
