The rki_covid component is a Home Assistant custom sensor for monitoring regional covid numbers in Germany.
- Ensure that HACS is installed.
- Search for and install the "RKI Covid numbers" integration.
- Configure the
rki_covidsensor. - Restart Home Assistant.
- Download the latest release.
- Unpack the release and copy the
custom_components/rki_coviddirectory into the<config dir>/custom_componentsdirectory of your Home Assistant installation. - Configure the
rki_covidsensor. - Restart Home Assistant.
Open the Configuration of your Home-Assistant instance and select Integrations.
Add a new integration, search and select rki covid.
A dialog appears to select a district or state to monitor.
After submitting the dialog, the newly added sensor entity is available.
Hint: Repeat the process to add multiple districts or states.
It is also possible to add districts / states via the configuration.yaml.
Open your configuration file in an editor.
Add a new sensor platform called rki_covid and add a list of districts by name.
sensor:
- platform: rki_covid
districts:
- name: 'SK Augsburg'
- name: 'SK Berlin Mitte'
- name: 'BL Bayern'
- name: 'LK München'Hint: You have to validate the configuration (Configuration > Server Controls > Check configuration) and restart Home Assistant before the new sensors become available.
Each integration creates multiple entities in the format sensor.NAME_entity.
