The wwlln integration displays lightning strike information from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN).

Entities are generated, updated and removed automatically with each update from the feed. Each entity defines latitude and longitude and will be shown on the default map automatically, or on a map card by defining the source wwlln. The distance (in kilometers or miles, depending on your unit system) is available as the state of each entity.

New data is returned every 5 minutes.

Configuration

To retrieve data from the WWLLN, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

wwlln:

{% configuration %} latitude: description: The latitude you want to monitor; defaults to the value defined in configuration.yaml. required: false type: float longitude: description: The longitude you want to monitor; defaults to the value defined in configuration.yaml. required: false type: float radius: description: The radius around your location to monitor; defaults to 25 km or mi (depending on the unit system defined in your configuration.yaml). required: false type: int window: description: The amount of time before now for which strikes should be considered "active" and shown in the UI. required: false type: time {% endconfiguration %}

State Attributes

The following state attributes are available for each entity in addition to the standard ones:

Attribute Description
latitude Latitude of the lightning strike.
longitude Longitude of the lightning strike.
source wwlln to be used in conjunction with the geo_location automation trigger.
external_id The external ID used in the feed to identify the earthquake in the feed.
publication_date Date and time when this event occurred.
