GeoNet NZ Quakes
The geonetnz_quakes
integration lets you use a GeoJSON feed provided by
New Zealand’s GeoNet
Entities are generated, updated and removed automatically with each update
from the feed. Each entity defines latitude and longitude and will be shown
on the default map automatically, or on a map card by defining the source
geonetnz_quakes
. The distance is available as the state of each entity, and
converted to the unit (kilometers or miles) configured in Home Assistant.
The data is updated every 5 minutes.

State attributes
The following state attributes are available for each entity in addition to the standard ones:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
latitude | Latitude of the quake. |
longitude | Longitude of the quake. |
source |
geonetnz_quakes to be used in conjunction with geo_location automation trigger. |
external_id | The external ID used in the feed to identify the quake in the feed. |
title | Title of this entry. |
mmi | The calculated MMI shaking at the closest locality in the New Zealand region. |
magnitude | The summary magnitude for the quake. |
depth | The depth of the quake in km. |
time | The origin date and time of the quake. |
locality | Distance and direction to the nearest locality. |
quality | The quality of this information: best, good, caution, deleted. |
Please note that the reported MMI may be lower than the minimum requested MMI. This integration is passing the requested MMI value to the feed source and displays all entries retrieved without further filtering by MMI.
Sensor
This integration automatically creates a sensor that shows how many entities are currently managed by this integration. In addition to that the sensor has some useful attributes that indicate the currentness of the data retrieved from the feed.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
status | Status of last update from the feed (“OK” or “ERROR”). |
last update | Timestamp of the last update from the feed. |
