NINA integration: attribute "Headline" is also needed while binary sensor is "off"

[niwi-hh]

The problem

I want to write an automation that turns my air ventilation system off, whenever NINA is warning of air pollution. Since the integration is only offering unspecific warning sensors, my automation cannot be triggered alone by an sensor turned on. As condition I also have to use some key words inside of the attribute "Headline" in order to know, that air pollution is the danger.

Currently such an automation cannot be written by the GUI, because the attribute "Headline" is only offered by the integration while the status of a binary sensor is "on". This means, that while the status is off, the GUI is not offering the option to use words from the headline inside of a condition.

If the NINA integration would offer a blank headline information while a binary sensor is off, this problem should be gone.

Additionally it would be great if the whole NINA message would be available via the integration. This would make it much easier to find reliable conditions.

Hey there @deermaximum, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (nina) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

[DeerMaximum]

Thanks for the feedback.

The empty attributes were removed during the intergration to Home Assistant as they were deemed unnecessary (See https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/56647#discussion_r756713675). When creating the automation, the attribute can also be entered into the field by hand. To solve the problem I will add a list of attributes to the documentation.

Also, it is planned to make the entire warning available.
