The `brottsplatskartan` sensor allows one to track reported incidents occurring in a given area. Incidents include anything reported to [Brottsplatskartan](https://brottsplatskartan.se). The sensor only counts incidents from the current day.

## Configuration

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`.

```yaml
sensor:
  - platform: brottsplatskartan
```

{% configuration %}

## Notes

### Area

Brottsplatskartan captures all incidents in a region, e.g Stockholms län. If area parameter is defined, any latitude and longitude parameters are ignored.

### Latitude and Longitude

The radius is set to 5 km when using latitude and longitude to monitor an area. It's not possible to explicitly set radius to another value.
