# DWD Pollenflug Binding

The "Deutsche Wetterdienst" (DWD) reports the current pollen count index for Germany on a daily base and a forecast for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. 
This binding allows you to retrieve this data for your region or partregion. You can find a map of the data here: 

https://isabel.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/gefahrenindizespollen/gefahrenindexpollen.html


## Supported Things

This binding supports a bridge thing (`bridge`), which polls the dataset for Germany in an adjustable interval. 
And it supports a region thing (`region`), representing the data for all pollen types of a region or partregion.

## Discovery

This binding adds a default `bridge` thing to the Inbox. 
This can be used for `region` things you may add manually.

## Thing Configuration

### Bridge

| Parameter | Default | Required | Description                                                                          |
| --------- | :-----: | :------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `refresh` |   30    |    no    | Define the interval for polling the data from DWD in minutes. Minimum is 15 minutes. |

### Region

| Parameter  | Default | Required | Description                                                         |
| ---------- | :-----: | :------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `regionID` |    -    |   yes    | The id of the region. The available options are in the table below. |

#### Manual region or partregion selection ####

The region ID is the partregion_id or if there is no partregion the region_id from this [json](https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/health/alerts/s31fg.json) of DWD. 
You can refer to the following table.

| regionID | Region                         | Partregion                                         |

The bridge thing has following channels:

| channel               | description                                    |
