HA Oref Alert 🚨

Home Assistant automation for Pikud HaOref (Israeli Home Front Command) rocket alerts with visual light signals.

When a real-time rocket alert is active for your configured area, all color-capable smart lights turn red. When the alert ends, lights flash green and restore to their previous state.

What It Does

Automation	Trigger	Action
Lights RED	Alert active	Snapshot current lights → all lights RED
All Clear	Alert ends	Green flash → restore previous state
Pre-Alert	Pre-alert warning	Orange flash x3 → restore
Pre → Alert	Pre-alert escalates	Immediately go RED
Pre Clear	Pre-alert ends	Dismiss notification

How It Works

• Pure YAML automations — no custom code
• Uses the oref_alert HACS integration
• Snapshots light state before changing, restores after all-clear
• Persistent notifications in HA dashboard during alerts

Requirements

• Home Assistant with HACS
• oref_alert integration installed via HACS
• Color-capable smart lights (Zigbee, WiFi, etc.)

Installation

See SETUP.md for step-by-step instructions.

Quick version:

1. Install oref_alert from HACS
2. Configure your location
3. Paste automations from automations.yaml into HA
4. Test by manually setting sensor.oref_alert to alert

Customization

Edit automations.yaml to:

• Change target lights (replace entity IDs with your own)
• Adjust colors or brightness
• Modify flash patterns
• Add additional actions (sirens, TTS announcements, etc.)
