Help for notify on automation for the platform usgs_earthquakes_feed

Ciquattro · December 26, 2018, 5:08pm

Hi,
I need some help to configure this notifications for this plaftorm, any suggestions?

I have setup the platform usgs_earthquakes_feed

###############  Earth Quake  ######################
geo_location:
  - platform: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    feed_type: 'past_day_all_earthquakes'
    #feed_type: 'past_month_all_earthquakes'
    radius: 500
    minimum_magnitude: 0.0
    latitude: !secret latitude
    longitude: !secret longitude

I have setup a passive zone for the alert

- name: Earth Quake Alert Zone
  latitude: !secret latitude
  longitude: !secret longitude
  radius: 15000
  passive: true

and then create an automation for noitfy on earthquake alert that don’t work.
Any suggestion on how to make it work?

- alias: 'Earth Quake Alert'
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    platform: geo_location
    source: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    zone: zone.earth_quake_alert_zone
    event: enter   
  action:
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data_template:
        message: "{{ trigger.to_state.name }} - {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.status }}"
        title: "Earth Quake Alert"
    - service: notify.hassnico_bot
      data_template:
        message: >
          "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} Earth Quake Alert Test"

Did you get this to work?

Ciquattro · January 30, 2019, 11:22am

partially… I get work with the component on the map but the notification still not work…

cazbrat · September 1, 2019, 12:27am

I have the same problem.
Have you found a solution?

Ciquattro · September 5, 2019, 11:47am

hmm no… because I forgot about this component … I’ll take a look today and I’ll post a solution… if I’ll found one

Ciquattro · September 5, 2019, 1:23pm

I was not able to understand how to trigger new event created from the usgs platform… so I have done this automation but I have to test it

- alias: 'Earth Quake Alert'
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    event: enter
    platform: geo_location     
    source: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    zone: zone.home
  action:
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data_template:
        message: Earthquake detected nearby.
        title: "Earth Quake Alert"
    - service: notify.hassnico_bot
      data_template:
        message: Earthquake detected nearby.

Maybe better something like this:

  - alias: 'Earth Quake Alert'
    trigger:
      platform: geo_location
      source: usgs_earthquakes_feed
      zone: zone.earth_quake_alert_zone
      event: enter
    condition:
      condition: template
      value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id.startswith('geo_location.m') and
           distance('device_tracker.nico_nico')|int <= 50 }}"
    action:
     - service: notify.notify
       data_template:
       message: >
          message: "ALARM! Earth Quake Detected {{ states('sensor.date_time') }}"

Ciquattro · September 6, 2019, 1:14pm

So my final solution is this:

- alias: 'Earth Quake Alert'
  trigger:
    platform: geo_location
    source: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    zone: zone.earth_quake_alert_zone
    event: enter
  condition:
    condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.type == 'earthquake' }}"
  action:
    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data_template:
        message: "{{ trigger.to_state.name }} - {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.status }}"
        title: "Earth Quake Alert"
        
    - service: notify.hassnico_bot
      data_template:
        message: "ALARM! Earth Quake Detected {{ states('sensor.date_time') }}"
        
    - service: hassio.addon_stdin
      data_template:
        addon: 89275b70_dss_voip
        input: {"call_sip_uri":"sip:[email protected]","message_tts":"Allerta, E' stato registrato un Terremoto"}

Thanks @Ciquattro I’m going to give this a go for alerts about my friends who live on a bit of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Ciquattro · September 6, 2019, 1:21pm

in the configuration.yaml I have this settings:

geo_location:
  - platform: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    feed_type: 'past_day_all_earthquakes'
    radius: 100
    minimum_magnitude: 4.0
    latitude: !secret latitude
    longitude: !secret longitude

tom_l · September 6, 2019, 1:23pm

Yeah I had no problem with that bit (maybe the feed type was wrong?). It was generating notifications I could not get tot work.

Can you get the magnitude and distance from zone centre as attributes?

EDIT: what format is the lat and lon? Edit2: never mind, scrolling to the bottom of the docs gives an example.

Edit3: one last thing, should I see a zone on the map?

cazbrat · September 8, 2019, 11:23pm

Thanks @Ciquattro . I will do the tests too.

sdesalve · September 23, 2019, 11:02pm

Bravo!
Nice job! I love your solution for getting an automated voice call notification for an earthquake!

dimafemabo · February 14, 2022, 2:14pm

Thanks for lining this out!
I used the passive zone and the automation seems to work, with “enter” and the reference to the USGS feed.
Cheers

lordwizzard · November 16, 2023, 10:01pm

Seems that the feed has gone down, but the web site works for the USGS. Anyone else seeing this issue today?

Nothing ground breaking but I wanted to share my automation using what I’ve parsed from this thread and a few other places to make this easier to test and configure for those that stumbled across this in the future.

This automation:

triggers when a new quake entity enters zone.se_earthquake (change to yours)
* only when quake is automatic
* this prevents “updated/revised” (reviewed status) quake alerts from ~~spamming~~ your automation. You’ll only get the first alert.
Some additional variables are provided to actions:
- time is a human friendly timestamp of when the quake happened formatted to your timezone like 2024-08-28 11:51
- miles the geolocation provides state (distance from lat/long) in kilometers so this is it converted to miles
The action sends a notification to all devices that can be notified
- Change notify to a specific device and/or copy/paste action for multiple devices
- For android devices it displays an actionable link that points to the USGS details page for this alert
Example of notification content (message):
- M2.03 -- 8 km S of Sparta, North Carolina (7mi away) at 2024-08-28 11:51

alias: Earthquake
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: geo_location
    source: usgs_earthquakes_feed
    zone: zone.se_earthquake
    event: enter
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.type == 'earthquake'}}
    enabled: true
action:
  - variables:
      time: >-
        {{ as_timestamp( trigger.to_state.attributes.time ) |
        timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d %-H:%M') }}
      miles: "{{ int(float(trigger.to_state.state) * 0.621) }}"
  - action: notify
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: >-
        M{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.magnitude }} -- {{
        trigger.to_state.attributes.place }}  ({{ miles }}mi away) at {{ time }}
      title: Earthquake
      data:
        actions:
          - action: URI
            title: Details
            uri: >-
              https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/{{
              trigger.to_state.attributes.external_id }}
mode: single

For debugging, here is code you can copy/paste into Developer Tools → Template to test the formatting for the message content (or whatever you want)

{% set trigger = {
  "from_state": null,
  "to_state": {
    "state": "12.3",
      "attributes": {
        "type": "earthquake",
        "status": "automatic",
        "time": "2024-08-28T15:51:38.530000+00:00",
        "place": "8 km S of Sparta, North Carolina",
        "magnitude": 2.03,
        "external_id": "se60502383",
        "longitude": -81.10483,
        "latitude": 36.428
      }
    }
  }
%}

{% set time = as_timestamp( trigger.to_state.attributes.time ) |
    timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d %-H:%M') %}
{% set miles = int(float(trigger.to_state.state) * 0.621) %}
    
    M{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.magnitude }} -- {{
    trigger.to_state.attributes.place }} ({{
    miles }}mi away) at {{ time }}

And here is an example of the payload of a triggered automation for use with the above template testing:
