Duplicate from HA forum. A method to be able to filter out test alerts would be nice.

  Tsunami Warning
friendly_name: NWS Alerts

I likely won't filter out any alerts in the integration but if you look in the raw alert notice on the NWS site there is a "status:" entry.

for that test alert of yours above it returned a value of - "status": "Test".

It looks like there are two possibilities for that entry - "Test" or "Actual".

If I add that to the integration could you more easily filter on that?

[GlennGoddard]

I think that would work better than what I am attempting now with the conditional template (which I don't know if it works yet)

[finity69x2]

Ok, once firstof9 gets his PR completed then I'll add that change to the integration.

[GlennGoddard]

I never saw this get updated in HACS.

[finity69x2]

It hasn't been done yet. Firstof9 is working on some changes to the config flow and update frequency code first. Then I'll get the change done for this.

[finity69x2]

The update has been released. let me know if it works for your use.

I'll close this now but you can re-open it if there is any issues related to this.
