# TTS: Full Text Weather Report, BOM Australia Integration, Extract Weather Warning Data & Other Text

Thanks @StormyKnight17 I thought I would place a few examples down on how I used your template examples. It actually took me a number of years to find, as this post does not come up easily in Google Search. This post has been made to help others point to the closed [Severe Weather Alert Issue #37](https://github.com/bremor/bureau_of_meteorology/issues/37)

**# Template Weather Warning Phase Text - Act as trigger for lovelace conditional card**

**Note:** to prevent early execution of _ **'elif'** _ statement:

- (new and renewal) may need to change to (new and wal). or just (new)
- (upgrade and downgrade) may need to change to (up and down) or just (grade)

```auto
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      weather_warning_phase:
        entity_id: sensor.devonport_warnings
        friendly_name: "Weather Warning Phase"
        value_template: >-
          {%- for state in state_attr('sensor.devonport_warnings', 'warnings') -%}
          {%- if 'new' in state.phase %}
          {{state.phase | upper}}
          {%- elif 'renewal' in state.phase %}
          {{state.phase | upper}}
          {%- elif 'update' in state.phase %}
          {{state.phase | upper}}
          {%- elif 'upgrade' in state.phase %}
          {{state.phase | upper}}
          {%- elif 'downgrade' in state.phase %}
          {{state.phase | upper}}
          {%- elif 'final' in state.phase %}

          {%- endfor -%}

```

**THE SIX SENSORS BELOW MAKE ONE FULL WEATHER REPORT.**

I did have it as one complete code in my **configuration.yaml** but it kept breaking, I had to divide it up. (obviously too long to parse)

Combining all templates in a [Custom: Mushroom Template Card](https://github.com/piitaya/lovelace-mushroom/blob/b1cb2328dabb8aa7b2154b2e04a633300e794e5e/docs/cards/template.md) results in the below. This will parse as a complete code.

**NOTE:** sensor.text\_dewpoint\_comfort\_outside is created using [Weather Word Descriptions from Dew Point, Temperature, VOC & Tado (Simple Air Comfort Card)](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/1b013cda55a8252806e6d23aa2e0a2e0)

For use in [Node Red](https://nodered.org/) The state from the sensors below are recombined into the full weather report that can be sent to TTS.

**NOTE:** There is a 255 Character limit on the condition report. This will return 'unknown' if the state of the BOM Extended Text Weather Report exceeds this limit.

**NOTE:** The state from 'sensor.your\_location\_extended\_text\_0' has been split to two sensors at 230 characters each. This includes room for text prior the condition report.
