Integrate textual forecast (Produkt: Aktuelles Wetter und Vorhersagen) #25

Hi and thanks for your great integration :)

What do you think about integrating the DWD textual forecasts into your Plugin?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see a textual forecast of todays weather for my region aka 'Bundesland' in HA

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to load the entire Page into an iframe card but that is not allowed
than i tried to fetch the page into a template sensor entity but that failed because of the 255 characters constraint, Works but only truncated
i considered creating a local webservice that fetches the HTML and transforms it into JSON so i could use a rest integration to load it into ha

Additional context Would also be great to add pictures like warnings and current conditions but that is doable with a markdown card. So: nice to have :)

I will do this in the next days :)

I have added the forecasts to the underlying python module, but not yet to this integration. I am not sure on how to include the information for display in HA. Right now it will fetch the pure html code. But as far as I have seen, there is no possibility to display entity content as a webpage.

If I strip all the HTML tags from the text, we are loosing the styling and we also have too much information to display this in a good way.

Do you have any ideas on how to display the weather forecast in HA?

Would it be possible to strip out the contents of <div id="wettertext"> and convert that to markdown?
Than one could use the value in a markdown card.

I would also suggest to strip out all br Tags and style attributes...

I would use a browser_mod popup to display the data on demand. Currently i use popup cards to display all the dwd images i am interested in and also created a css animation from current satellite images. Works quite well.

A card that can expand on click could be nice also... Accordion style or something like lovelace-fold-entity-row
