Changes

Easier setup for county IDs

• Added new script CountyIDGen.py that will automatically generate and apply County ID WAV files for your counties using the VoiceRSS settings in config.yaml. The script will even do the county ID setup in config.yaml for you.
• To use the script for automated setup, simply make sure you have already set up all of your county codes (Alerting section) and VoiceRSS details (SkyDescribe section) in config.yaml, and then execute the script: ./CountyIdGen.py

More informative updates for multi-county setups

• If config.yaml contains more than one county, and county IDs have been enabled, SayAlert will now also "say" any alerts whose list of affected counties has changed. This will keep listeners up-to-date as alerts move throughout the area.
  • Can be disabled with SayAlertsChanged: false in config.yaml

More informative log & Pushover messages

• Console/log/Pushover messages now include more detail about changes in alerts, AND include names of counties for easier readability.

Less work to update

• CT/ID/Tailmessage files will auto-initialize on first run after install/update #55

Other Changes

• README.md changes
• Added new CountyCodes.md file for both human and code use as an internal lookup table for county codes/names
• Lots of behind-the-scenes code changes and restructuring (hopefully some future-proofing)

Updating

TEST ALERT INJECTION WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE NOT YET CHANGED THE TEST ALERTS TO THE NEW FORMAT

This is something that the UpdateSWP.py script unfortunately cannot do for you.

  # List the test alerts to inject. Alert titles are case sensitive.
  # Optionally specify the CountyCodes and/or EndTime for each alert.
  # CountyCodes used here must be defined at the top of this configuration file.
  # Example:
  # INJECTALERTS:
  #   - Title: "Tornado Warning"
  #     CountyCodes: ["ARC119", "ARC120"]
  #   - Title: "Tornado Watch"
  #     CountyCodes: ["ARC125"]
  #     EndTime: "2023-08-01T12:00:00Z"
  #   - Title: "Severe Thunderstorm Warning"
  INJECTALERTS:
  - Title: "Tornado Warning"
  - Title: "Tornado Watch"
  - Title: "Severe Thunderstorm Warning"
