A group of sensors for Home Assistant that tracks New South Wales COVID-19 Data

NSW COVID-19 Case & Vacination Data for Home Assistant

Covid cases and vaccination data sourced directly from New South Wales Health

Track daily changes in the New South Wales health districts.

Visibility in to cases, vaccinations and sources. Sourced directly from NSW Health.

Note

This is not affiliated with, nor approved by NSW Health.

Data is sourced by screen scraping - as NSW Health does not provide this information in any other format.

Installation

1. Using HACS add the repository https://github.com/troykelly/homeassistant-au-nsw-covid.
2. Add the integration
3. Restart Home Assistant
4. In Integrations add the NSW Covid integration
   • In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "NSW Covid"

Note

This is a screen scraper. That is not allowed in Home Assistant.

There just is no other way to get this data.

Missing Information

One number that would be great to have is "cases in community" especially in the last 24 hours.

NSW Health does not publish this number. In a press conference, it was stated that the number is too fluid.

If you have a source of extra information that you would like to see - create an issue!

Usage

This will create a series of sensors with current NSW Health Covid data.

Keep in mind - NSW Health manually updates their website, when they please. Aunty Gladys does her briefing at 11am, and sometimes the page is not updated until late in the afternoon.

Template Sensors

Some numbers are derived from the data. You can calculate these as a template sensor.

Local Cases (all of NSW)

A calculation of total cases - the sum of interstate and overseas

template:
   - sensor:
       - name: "Covid NSW Last 24 Hours State"
         unique_id: "covid_nsw_last_24_hours_state"
         icon: "mdi:virus"
         unit_of_measurement: "cases"
         state: >
           {% set total = states('sensor.covid_nsw_last_24_hours_total') | int %}
           {% set overseas = states('sensor.covid_nsw_last_24_hours_overseas_source') | int %}
           {% set interstate = states('sensor.covid_nsw_last_24_hours_interstate_source') | int %}
           {% set out_of_state = (overseas + interstate) %}
           {{ (total - out_of_state) }}
         attributes:
           attribution: >
             {{ state_attr('sensor.covid_nsw_last_24_hours_total', 'attribution') }}
           published: >
             {{ state_attr('sensor.covid_nsw_last_24_hours_total', 'published') }}

Vaccination Rate

Percentage of NSW population who've had second dose.

Assuming population is 6565651

template:
   - sensor:
       - name: "Covid NSW Fully Vaccinated"
         unique_id: "covid_nsw_state_vaccination_rate"
         icon: "mdi:needle"
         unit_of_measurement: "%"
         state: >
           {% set total_population = 6565651 %}
           {% set half_dose_total = (states('sensor.covid_nsw_doses') | int) / 2 %}
           {% set state_second_dose_vaccinated_total = half_dose_total / total_population %}
           {{ (state_second_dose_vaccinated_total * 100)|round(2, 'floor') }}
         attributes:
           attribution: >
