hulkhaugen e9a2e155e5 Added "monitored_conditions" (#7494)
Added `monitored_conditions` to configure additional functionality beneath `binary_sensor` and `sensor` key within the `openuv` section of the `configuration.yaml` file. Without it, you'll end up with a "expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data..."-error

The `openuv` component displays UV and Ozone data from [openuv.io](http://openuv.io).
## {% linkable_title Generating an API Key %}
To generate an API key, [simply log in to the OpenUV website](https://www.openuv.io/auth/google).
<p class='note warning'>
The "Limited" plan (which is what new users are given by default) is limited to 500 API requests per day. In order to leave a buffer, the `openuv` component queries the API every 30 minutes by default. This value can be modifed (via the `scan_interval` key), but please note that over-running the API will require you to upgrade to a paid plan (and may disable your access in the meantime).
</p>
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To retrieve data from OpenUV, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
openuv:
api_key: YOUR_OPENUV_API_KEY
```
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: The OpenUV API key.
required: true
type: string
scan_interval:
description: the frequency (in seconds) between data updates.
required: false
type: integer
default: 1800
binary_sensors:
description: The binary sensor-related configuration options.
required: false
type: map
keys:
monitored_conditions:
description: The conditions to create sensors from.
required: false
type: list
default: all
keys:
uv_protection_window:
description: Displays if UV protection (sunscreen, etc.) is recommended at the current date and time.
sensors:
description: The sensor-related configuration options.
required: false
type: map
keys:
monitored_conditions:
description: The conditions to create sensors from.
required: false
type: list
default: all
keys:
current_ozone_level:
description: The current ozone level in du (Dobson Units).
current_uv_index:
description: The current UV index.
current_uv_level:
description: "The level of current UV index, which is calculated based on [UV Index Levels & Colors](https://www.openuv.io/kb/uv-index-levels-colors)."
max_uv_index:
description: The maximum UV index that will be encountered that day (at solar noon).
safe_exposure_time_type_1:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type I.
safe_exposure_time_type_2:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type II.
safe_exposure_time_type_3:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type III.
safe_exposure_time_type_4:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type IV.
safe_exposure_time_type_5:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type V.
safe_exposure_time_type_6:
description: The approximate exposure time for skin type VI.
{% endconfiguration %}
The approximate number of minutes of a particular skin type can be exposed to the sun before burning/tanning starts is based on the [Fitzpatrick scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale).
## {% linkable_title Full example %}
To configure additional functionality, add configuration options beneath a `binary_sensor` and/or `sensor` key within the `openuv` section of the `configuration.yaml` file as below:
```yaml
openuv:
api_key: YOUR_OPENUV_API_KEY
binary_sensors:
monitored_conditions:
- uv_protection_window
sensors:
monitored_conditions:
- current_ozone_level
- current_uv_index
- current_uv_level
- max_uv_index
- safe_exposure_time_type_1
- safe_exposure_time_type_2
- safe_exposure_time_type_3
- safe_exposure_time_type_4
- safe_exposure_time_type_5
- safe_exposure_time_type_6
```
