Data sources
Where the weather data comes from.
The box decides from your own measurements and two public weather sources. Here is where they come from and under which licence.

Storm guard
When an official orange or red warning for wind, snow and ice, thunderstorms, rain, flooding or low temperature covers your area today or tomorrow, the box charges the battery to your maximum. So the battery can be as full as you allow when the storm arrives.
It only ever raises the charge target, never lowers it. Yellow warnings are ignored.
Storm guard is on by default. You can switch it off in the box's settings.
The box shows the warning as issued, with its source. We do not change warning content.
