In this video, we are going to be installing the Weather Alerts Integration from the Home Assistant Community Store.
This integration uses the free National Weather Service API to get weather alert data and creates a sensor that can be used in automations and notifications. It is pretty easy to install, but I think to be really useful is needs some minor modifications.
So we will cover how to set it up, and modify it so you can get weather alerts on your phone, and even add a tornado siren automation.
