Strange, because it does work for me like that, as shown in my previous post.
In the coming weeks I will be working on an update of this MeteoAlarm Info Card.
There will be some small improvements, like a more clear indication for future alarms.
And in januari 2025 the MeteoAlarm website is expected to do an upgrade to their site, going to CAP Profile version v2.0
This amongst others will add two more Awareness Types: Marine Hazard and Drought.
For the first type I did already find a suitable MDI icon.
However, for the Awareness type Drought I could not find a suitable MDI icon.
So I asked for a new icon on the MDI GitHub page, but unfortunately nobody did take-up this task yet. Personally I am not able to create new icons, so if anybody is prepared to take-up this task, then please do so before the end of this year.
I am not sure whether anything else in CAP Profile v2.0 is changing the MeteoAlarm Integration functionality, and unfortunately I did not get any response from the current code owner when I asked about it, so I hope it will not be broken when the new profile will become effective. Lets wait and seeā¦
For me it works! Thank you! Will see in the coming weeks for various slovenian regions, if we will have some weather warning, if it will work. This EMMA_id seems to me the most logical choice for region descriptions, the ānameā thing is not reliable enough.
yes, Iāve got it working just now, had to also delete the language setting for it to start working, maybe it was that particular config option when I first started it with the province name too
Absolutely!
Great that it works for you now:-)

Ah yes, that might be it: probably the data is not available in Dutch for this region.
no champagne just yetā¦
I tried it again without the language setting, but with the province name:
- platform: meteoalarm
name: Meteoalarm Kroatiƫ
country: croatia
province: Kvarner and Kvarneric region
and again, that does Not work.
quoting the province makes no difference either. (which it shouldnt, as its a string anyways)
taking it back to the
- platform: meteoalarm
name: Meteoalarm Kroatiƫ
country: croatia
province: HR802
immediately kicks in the correct state, and even during the HA startup process makes this happen.
I believe we need to open an issue with this info to the core repo integration
given what I said above:
ive just updated my own config to use the correct Emma_id too:
hoping this will respond more to the point in the future
Possibly unrelated, but how do I get it to display the region name on the card - this is your card right GitHub - MrBartusek/MeteoalarmCard: Meteoalarm, MĆ©tĆ©o-France and DWD severe weather warnings card for Home Assistant Lovelace UI āļø? I added the unique names in the meteoalarm integration.
Sorry, I donāt understand.
This thread is about my own MeteoAlarm Info card setup, as shown in my first post from Januari 26 this year.
So it has nothing to do with the card you are refering to?
The Region name is part of the Card setup:
Card:
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: tile
entity: sensor.meteoalarm_friesland_current
show_entity_picture: false
vertical: false
hide_state: false
name: MeteoAlarm Friesland
card_mod:
style: |
Well, I donāt think there is a change required to the code for this, because it appears to be already working with the EMMA_ID.
However, it might be usefull to add this option to use the EMMA_ID to the Documentation, including the method to find these EMMA_IDās via the Meteoalarm EMMA_ID Region explorer tool.
Yes, I did the same with my own cards, and it does work correctly as well.

not sure what is required, but given the effect Croatia has displayed here, it would follow that the use of the province name is not reliable at all, and that the Emma_id is. which means a functional difference is to be noted. And then result of the underlying integration code.
at least that yes, 100% agree.
please add it, (I donāt touch those doc edits anymore), many users would benefit from it
just adding today that because I got some feedreader feeds on Meteoalarm, I checked the integration, which was still in the safe mode 
Could be my province Noord-Brabant in NL didnt have alarms yet, but Zeeland surely has, according to the website Wind - Warnings for Vlissingen - The Netherlands - Vlissingen
so I added a config for the province too, and did so with the EMMA_ID
- platform: meteoalarm
name: Meteoalarm Zeeland
country: netherlands
language: nl-NL
province: NL010 #Zeeland
And yet, this remains silent, or safe. No alert is issued yet.
So there definitely is a discrepancy between the resource site and the integration polling the data.
I think you are mixing up two regions.
Zeeland is EMMA_ID NL010 which is for the province Zeeland, and Vlissingen is EMMA_ID NL801 which is for the off-shore area.
On the KNMI website it is shown that Zeeland currently does not have a warning.
And on the MeteoAlarm website it is shown that the warning is only valid for off-shore.
