Myself and, by searching for a solution to my wrong usage of `region_name`, others have misunderstood - or not read carefully - the documentation. We used the name of our city by prior searching for it on the DWD website. This mistake is definetly on our part but could hopefully avoided by stronger pointing out the existing section in the documentation. I surrounded the section by an `important` box and rephrased the wording a little.

The dwd_weather_warnings sensor platform uses the Deutsche Wetter Dienst (DWD) as a source for current and advance warnings.
- A name is optional but if multiple regions are used a name will be required.
- The sensor checks for new data every 15 minutes.
To add the DWD WarnApp sensor to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: dwd_weather_warnings
region_name: Hansestadt Hamburg
As it suggests the region name is not the city or nearest city you want to get the warnings for but the next higher level of the governmental district called "Kreis" in German.
Be aware, to get the region name you need to use the following link by replacing Hamburg with your city:
- Find your region here:
https://www.dwd.de/DE/wetter/warnungen_landkreise/warnWetter_node.html?ort=Hamburg - On the page that is loaded in your browser you will find the correct region ("Kreis") below the map as a headding.
- Verify if you find any warning for your region here. Your region ("Kreis") will appear only if warnings exist:
https://www.dwd.de/DWD/warnungen/warnapp_landkreise/json/warnings.json?jsonp=loadWarnings
The warning level is between 0 (no danger) and 4 (extreme weather conditions):
- Warnungen vor extremem Unwetter (Stufe 4)
- Unwetterwarnungen (Stufe 3)
- Warnungen vor markantem Wetter (Stufe 2)
- Wetterwarnungen (Stufe 1)
