OzPoll - Australian Pollen Forecast (Integration)

[mijofa (Mike)]

As I’m trying to clean up the various HACS plugins I have installed, I decided I really didn’t like the use of button-card for this one, and ended up re-writing it in a Markdown card with heavy use of card-mod.
Mostly I didn’t like the look of the button-card as it was, then I got a bit fixated on this one.

Figured I’d share my work with others, I’ve done a few different options, but mostly I was working towards making it look more like the weather applet.
The first 2 (my favourite) make use of Collapsable cards and Tabbed Card, both from HACS.

Here’s a screenshot of all of them

And the YAML for that entire grid.

[Mahko_Mahko]

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

still using this and it works well but I don’t live in ‘Central’ is there a way to scrape Melboure from the header section?:

central is showing Low but its Moderate in melbourne.

Thanks!

[Mahko_Mahko]

I’ll have to take a closer look at this. I think I looked at it at some point but can’t recall the details. Affects me too;)

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

Thanks! Keep me updated

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

just confirming this is still the best method:

  scan_interval: 3600 #3600 sec = hr

    - unique_id: melbourne_pollen_count
      name: Pollen Count

        {% else %}
          mdi:help-circle
        {% endif %}```

[Mahko_Mahko]

Should just be as per this post.

But I haven’t yet had a chance to sit down properly this season and look over it all.

Please report any issues.

Melbourne Pollen Forecast Scrape Sensor and Lovelace "Card"

This is the main post which I will try to keep up to date with a working solution. The solution has been breaking periodically due to changes in the unofficial API and the pretty fragile nature of my solution. I’m no coding guru I just slapped together something pretty hacky. But don’t worry I’m pretty invested in keeping it working if possible (self-interest;). I’ve added change notes at the bottom of this post, so hopefully you can check if you are up to date with changes before flagging …

[gaz99 (Gaz)]

Is Canberra included in the API ??

[Mahko_Mahko]

I couldn’t see it in the main one being used.

But I guess there must be something similar feeding the Canberra pollen app too?

play.google.com

Canberra Pollen Count

Take control of your allergies with accurate pollen count & forecast informatio...

Free

Can’t say I’m very knowledgeable at sniffing/discovery app APIs.

@Triple.two discovered the current one being used.

[Mahko_Mahko]

Actually I think you may just need to switch from app=1 to app=2. You may need to try different version= too.

https://api.pollenforecast.com.au/app/json/app_data.php?app=2&version=4

Apparently I’d figured this out before but had forgotten!)

Melbourne Pollen Forecast Scrape Sensor and Lovelace "Card"

I wonder what other data is lurking around in other app/api versions. Edit: I think this one is for Melbourne https://api.pollenforecast.com.au/app/json/app_data.php?app=1&version=5 I think this one is for Canberra https://api.pollenforecast.com.au/app/json/app_data.php?app=2&version=4 I think this one is for Sydney https://api.pollenforecast.com.au/app/json/app_data.php?app=3&version=4

[gaz99 (Gaz)]

OK, thanks, I’ll have a play.

[Mahko_Mahko]

I seem to be seeing differences between the api and the app/website.

Not sure if it is really working this season. Need to investigate. Would be good if others confirm too.

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

I changed up the code to match latest HA standards:

    - name: Melbourne Pollen Forecast via API
      state: ''
      attributes:
        melbourne_6day_pollen_forecast: >-
          {% set forecastpageHTML = states.sensor.melbourne_pollen_api_html.attributes.forecastpage %}
          {% set LowerForecastpageHTML = forecastpageHTML|lower  %}
          {{ 
          '{\n' +
          LowerForecastpageHTML
          |replace('monday', 'Mon')
          |replace('tuesday', 'Tue')
          |replace('wednesday', 'Wed')
          |replace('thursday', 'Thu')
          |replace('friday', 'Fri')
          |replace('saturday', 'Sat')
          |replace('sunday', 'Sun')
          |replace('melbourne pollen forecast', '"days": [')
          |replace('<h2 ', '*nl*{*nl*"day_short_name":"<h1 ')
          |replace('</h2>', '</h2>",*nl* ')
          |replace('<p', '"date":"<p')
          |replace('p>', '<\/p>",*nl* ')
          |replace('<div class="pollen-forecast-level', '"pollen_level":"<<div class="pollen-forecast-level')
          |replace('low', 'Low"},')
          |replace('moderate', 'Moderate"},')
          |replace('high', 'High"},')
          |replace('extreme', 'Extreme"},')
          |striptags
          |replace('*nl*', '\n') + ']\n}'
          }} 

The sensor is showing LOW for Wednesday even though its HIGH:

The only LOW reading is east gippsland:

Is there a way to make the state of the sensor TODAY’s forecast only

[Mahko_Mahko]

Looks like it might be broken again.

Hopefully I’ll have some time on the weekend to work on a fix.

[Mahko_Mahko]

So the unoffcial API these sensors use no longer appears to be being updated.
So it’s an API issue beyond my control rather than a code issue.

I’m digging around for alternative data sources but haven’t been able to find anything yet.

For those that are keen you could try to resurrect the webpage scraper approach to get just today’s info from the webpage (code may need modifications).

Melbourne Pollen Forecast Scrape Sensor and Lovelace "Card"

Revised sensor for “today” based on what is currently available for Victoria. [image] This is where it scrapes from. [image] If you want another area, take a look at some of the multiscrape tutorials. It’s easy once you know how. If you try and fail, I can help. In config… ############################################################################ ##Melbourne Pollen Forecast ############################################################################ multiscrape: - resource: https://…

Validating the API results against the app show that the api results appear to be incorrect (always showing “Low”.

FYI @oneseventhree …

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

Ahh thats a shame. I did see there is a version 6 now:
https://api.pollenforecast.com.au/app/json/app_data.php?app=2&version=6

I was using this:

 scan_interval: 3600 #3600 sec = hr

  sensor:
    - unique_id: melbourne_pollen_count
      name: Pollen Count

      value_template: '{{ value| trim}}'
      attributes:
        - name: Website Last Updated
          select: '#district-pollen-div > div > div > div > div > div > div.uk-grid-match.uk-child-width-1-2\@s.uk-text-center.uk-grid-collapse.uk-grid > div:nth-child(1) > div.ta-notice'
          value_template: "{{ value| replace('Last updated:', '')}}"
      icon: >-
        {% if value == 'Low' %}
          mdi:emoticon-happy
        {% elif value == 'Moderate' %}
          mdi:emoticon-neutral
        {% elif value == 'High' %}
          mdi:emoticon-sad
        {% elif value == 'Extreme' %}
          mdi:emoticon-angry
        {% else %}
          mdi:help-circle
        {% endif %}

but its showing central and not:

Is there anyway to scrape that section instead?
I tried and couldn’t figure it out when trying to put it in the code above

[Mahko_Mahko]

Yeah I looked at version 6 too but same story.

I’ll probably look at getting the Melbourne scrape running for myself over the coming days, so I’ll keep you posted.

[oneseventhree (Eli)]

that would be great! thank you. The website hasn’t changed in a while so it should last

[Mahko_Mahko]

Had to fiddle with the select but think I’ve got the following data fields.
