The `aurora` platform uses the [NOAA Aurora Forecast](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast) service to let you know if an aurora might be visible at your home location in the next 30 minutes, based off of current solar flare activity.
|
|
|
|
This service gives a number 0-100 representing the current likelihood of visible auroras at your latitude/longitude. By default this sensor is set up to trigger when the reported likelihood for your location is > 75. It updates every 5 minutes.
