Saving sessions greyed out #695

Describe the bug

The binary sensors for both gas and electricity saving sessions are greyed out. When clicking on these I receive - This entity is no longer being provided by the octopus_energy integration. If the entity is no longer in use, delete it in settings. Relatively new to Octopus and to this integration (6 weeks), always been greyed out.

Hello. Saving session entity is at an account level. There is no saving session per energy, but there is wheel of fortune spins. I'm not sure which version you started using the integration but 9.0.0 introduced the breaking change or renaming the saving session and wheel of fortune entities to include the account id. This was to support future features. From this transition you are now safe to delete the old entities.

Was this the issue?

The documentation refers to support for saving sessions, how do I get notified that a saving session has been created. Thanks

BottlecapDave commented 10 months ago

As per the docs you have a saving session at an account level which will turn on/off when you are within a saving session that you have joined.

There is a service available that supports joining a saving session, along with an example blueprint for using this to join saving sessions automatically. You could also use this blueprint for inspiration of an automation which could send a notification via your chosen means.

If you want to be notified of new saving sessions, there is an event that is fired when a new event is discovered. You can subscribe to this event via an automation and notify yourself via your chosen means.

Does this solve your issue?

Thank you for your help. I have set up both the event and service. Just need to see what happens when another session is announced. Graham Sent from Mail for Windows From: David KendallSent: 10 January 2024 19:55To: BottlecapDave/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergyCc: Wright55; AuthorSubject: Re: [BottlecapDave/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergy] Saving sessions greyed out (Issue #695) As per the docs you have a saving session at an account level which will turn on/off when you are within a saving session that you have joined.There is a service available that supports joining a saving session, along with an example blueprint for using this to join saving sessions automatically.
