Hi All, BETA 4.2.1.0 is the first version of rnbWeather with NOAA alerts included.
NOAA alerts will work different fro other weather services eg: OpenWeather.
NOAA/NWS make 132 different types of alerts available. In other areas within rnbWeather, you choose how many device features you want to setup and as rnbWeather gets alerts it puts them into the first free feature. With ~132 alert types, this is not feasible as if you select o haev 4 features, alert 5 could be the one of interest but it is missed becuase we only created 4 features.
For this reason, rnbWeather allows you to choose the alert features you want from the list to ensure you are monitoring the alerts that concern you.
Alerts are shown using icons by either occuting now (active) or may occur in the future (Future). The icon represents the severity classification of the alert. Any alerts that ahve passed or end before today are removed from feature.
Note: If more than one alert is issued for the same alert type eg: Flood warning, then the text will show both alerts and the icon will show the worst serverity.
The Weather overview page will now also show the alerts if you have chosen to show them. The header of the section will be color coded by the most severve alert
I welcome any thoughts/feedback on how I have implemented the alerts or any issues you have with them.
