The **Deutscher Wetterdienst Weather Warnings** {% term integration %} uses the [Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD)](https://www.dwd.de) as a source for current and advance weather warnings. The configured sensor checks for data every 15 minutes.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

{% configuration_basic %}
Warncell ID or name:
  description: Identifier of the region. It can be a warncell ID (integer) or a warncell name. It is heavily advised to use warncell ID because a warncell name is sometimes not unique. A list of valid warncell IDs and names can be found [here](https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/opendata/help/warnungen/cap_warncellids_csv.html). Some of the warncells are outdated but still listed. If the setup fails, search the list for a similar sounding warncell. If the warncell name is not unique, `" (not unique used ID)!"` will be added to the reported `region_name`. Setting this field is required.
