Hi,

first of all, many thanks for spending the time and effort in doing this and making an Octopus integration.

I got to admit, I am new to HA - but I am not a newbie... I work in IT as a Linux admin. I uploaded your integration and when trying to add it as an integration, I am presented with an input box containing two input fields (2nd is required) and a checkbox. No text, no label whatsoever.

I definitely want to help with getting this further... just that I don't know Python at all. I am happy to test and report :-)

Regards

Tom

Hello. Sorry to hear you're having issues.

I must admit I haven't seen this. Have you got any errors in your Home Assistant logs?

BottlecapDave commented 2 years ago

The only thing I can think to ask is what language you have set your Home Assistant instance to, as the integration currently only supports "en"

I searched in /config for "octopus" and this is the only thing it found:

home-assistant.log:2021-10-23 13:57:10 WARNING (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration octopus_energy which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant home-assistant.log.1:2021-10-23 13:47:24 WARNING (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration octopus_energy which has not been tested by Home Assistant.

Yes, my setup is in English / I have not changed the default language.

Oh boy. I just tried it to open again, and now it populates it properly and it is asking for API and account. I'll have a look how this works for me and report back :-)

Thanks again

Tom

I set it up now. I noticed - but I guess that's nothing to do with your plugin, my sensors don't carry the "meter" number in their name. I had done curl requests before and these sensor names look nothing like it. It is neat that I can see now previous Electricity and Gas usage - still have to figure out the price per m3.

My ZigBee stick came today and I also have an IHD - which is conveniently connected to my meters (via ZigBee!). No idea how I put the meters into Pairing mode hence I sent Octopus a request.

Now it just means I got to wait til the plugin shows the first data...

Glad to hear it's now working for you :)
