Snowy Dams

Creates sensors for Home Assistant with the Snowy Hydro Reservoir level information

Lovelace Examples

Installation

This app is best installed using HACS, so that you can easily track and download updates.

Alternatively, you can download the snowydams directory from inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory, then add the configuration to enable the snowydams module.

How it works

The Snowy Hydro site provides this information, this accesses the data page and makes the information available as sensors in HA.

As this is non time critical sensor, it only gets the information once per day at 5.17am.

I have also set it for you to provide an input_boolean that you specify for when to update the sensor beyond the daily schedule. You can obviously automate when you want that input_boolean to turn on.

To Run

You will need to create an input_boolean entity to watch for when to update the sensor. When this input_boolean is turned on, whether manually or by another automation you create, the scraping process will be run to create/update the sensor.

AppDaemon Libraries

This app requires no special packages to be added to your appdaemon 4 configuration on the supervisor page of the add-on.
