Hi,
I’m looking for some help displaying JSOn data. The feed I want to display is https://data.emergency.vic.gov.au/Show?pageId=getIncidentJSON which is a list of current emergency indients in Victoria Australia. How would I display these in home assistant and have them regularly updated?
Many thanks!
Assuming that the #incidents changes (the above now shows 21), you culd try to load all data as an attribute, like below. This may end up with warnings in the log due to the size of the data. The alternative is to do the same using a command_line with curl and add jq to reduce the output, i.e. only pick those items you really need per-incident…a bit more complex esp. if you donot know jq. You would need to explain a bit more what you need.
When in attributes, then you could use e.g. flex-table card to display them in a list
rest:
- scan_interval: 3600
resource: https://data.emergency.vic.gov.au/Show?pageId=getIncidentJSON
sensor:
- name: incidents
value_template: "{{ value_json.results | count }}"
json_attributes:
- results
Depends upon “How you would like it to be Displayed”
Have you tried any of the most simple ways, like WebPage-Card, Markup-Card, Custom:iframe-card ?
not yet - I’m new to working with data sources and looking for some guidance - you’ve both given that! Thanks and I have a good idea of where to look now.
