sunset_time & sunset_time sensors missing

[ghost]

Hi!

I have added the following to my config monitored_conditions:

- sunset_time
- sunrise_time

However, these sensors do not appear. Is there something special about them?

[alexander0042]

Hi,

Thanks for using this integration, and apologies for this issue! Quick question, are you using the HACS version or the config flow UI development version?

[ghost]

Hi

...and thank you for providing it! 👍

I am using the HACS version with HA container.

I also noticed some other sensors (that I just added) also don't show

- temperature_high
- temperature_low

[alexander0042]

Interesting- do you see anything in the logs about this? I'll be honest, no one has asked about the sunset time sensors yet, so it hasn't been on my radar

[ghost]

no worries - I consider them a luxury item anyway.

...can't see anything in the logs though except for the known depreciated method topic (below) custom_components.pirateweather.weather::DarkSkyWeather is overriding deprecated methods on an instance of WeatherEntity, this is not valid and will be unsupported from Home Assistant 2023.1. Please report it to the custom integration author.

[chicknlil]

I just came here to report the same thing. I'm using pirate weather in conjunction with Platinum Weather Card and there are definitely things I can't fill in. At the moment I'm needing to use multiple weather providers to fill the gaps.

[chicknlil]

Seems to be also missing:

- temperature_min
- temperature_max

[alexander0042]

I'm really sorry for my slow reply here. We have a 3-month old baby, and she is definitely taking a lot of the attention at the moment!

To follow both these questions up with another question, are you using this integration as a sensor or weather entity? If these are as sensors, then these parameters should be working, so that's a bigger problem.

If you're up for some light troubleshooting, I'd appreciate it if you could try this using the new version of this integration? This moves everything to the Home Assistant standard, which should solve this issue, and still includes both the weather and sensor entities.

[chicknlil]

I was using it as a sensor. I'm about an hour and a half away from my laptop, and then I will try that out!

[ghost]

We have a 3-month old baby, and she is definitely taking a lot of the attention at the moment!

congratulations!

I am (trying to) use all 4 as sensors and cannot see any of them. Also, which is correct?

- temperature_min
- temperature_max

or

- temperature_high
- temperature_low

[alexander0042]

Thanks! You'll want to use:

- temperature_high
- temperature_low

as the other ones are officially depreciated. Do you mind pasting in the full block of your configuration.yaml (without the API key!), so I can take a look at how it's laid out?

[chicknlil]

I still don't have high or low showing as options, after following the steps in the other topic you linked.

[alexander0042]

Ok, thanks for posting those configs, they explain what's going on here!

What's happening is both sunrise/sunset and temperature_high/temperature_low are daily forecast parameters, not current conditions. This means that they aren't in requested data from the server, so don't show up. The fix here is to add:

    forecast:
      - 0

under your api_key line for the sensors, similar to how it's described from the HA integration(https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/darksky).

One thing I'm curious about is if these used to show up for Dark Sky and then stopped working when you switched to Pirate Weather, or if this is a new integration. One of my goals is backwards compatibility, so if it used to work, then that's an issue!

[chicknlil]

I wasn't using Darksky previously (because I knew it was going away). I found Pirate Weather while looking for a better weather integration that would work with the Platinum Weather Card I mentioned previously.

I had to further tweak my config.yaml after adding that line of code (removing reference to min/max, based on the error logs) ... that enabled me to do the check and restart.

That said, on restart it's working perfectly. Here's the end result with the platinum weather card (and a mini graph card in between):

I never used DarkSky either! ...working perfectly now - thanks!

[alexander0042]

Love that weather card- I'll have to add it in to my configuration! I've tagged this as a documentation issue to remind me to clarify the instructions here on which variables are available for current conditions, which are hourly, and which are daily, since it's a pretty key detail!

Thanks again for using (and especially supporting!) this service, and let me know if you run into any other issues 🌤️

Can you share your yaml for that card layout?

Sure. There's also a button card that's invisible unless there's a weather alert at the top...

This is the sensor, for sensor.yaml...

sensor:

          {% elif is_state('sensor.pirateweather_alerts','1') %}
            {{ sensor.pirateweather_alerts.attributes.title }}
          {% else %}
            {{ sensor.pirateweather_alerts.attributes.title_0 }}
          {% endif %}

[ghost]

sensor:

Pirate Weather Alert Text

...

you might want to update that to the new format :)

  - sensor:

            {{ sensor.pirateweather_alerts.attributes.title_0 }}
          {% endif %}

Adding...

forecast:
 - 0

has brought an unknown sensor sensor.pirateweather_precip_intensity_0d.

I bring this up because sensor.pirateweather_precip_intensity is fine.

If I add extra days to the forecast all the sensor.pirateweather_precip_intensity_xd sensors are unknown. All other _xd sensors are fine.

Is this an error or just how it is?

cheers!

[alexander0042]

Oh wow! @jchhenderson, it doesn't look like much, but you actually found a bug in the API, not just the integration! Since my goal for the API is drop-in compatibility with Dark Sky, I try to return the same json structure as what they do, and never noticed that I was missing precip_intensity for the daily data block.

I'll push an update to the API itself to add this in, and you should notice these sensors start returning data later today. It'll just be accumulation divided by 24 hours, but since it's in Dark Sky, it needs to be here too!

[chicknlil]

hey @alexander0042 ... I was looking at my logs and they said to remove the pirateweather references from my config.yaml as they were no longer needed - I did, but now I no longer have access to those 0d sensors. Did I miss something, or did the logs mislead me?

This error originated from a custom integration.

hey @chicknlil can you start a new thread as this is a new topic? 👍

[chicknlil]

It's all related, but whatever dude. Done, you don't hafta worry about it cluttering up your precious thread. You're making me regret sharing my config with you. 🙄

[ghost]

No offence was meant. This thread isn't precious to me. I just couldn't see the link and find it confusing when 2 topics are discussed at the same time. My intention was to immediately help you on the new thread but I'll respectfully bow out as I have upset you. Once again, sorry.

I've let this sit to see if my thoughts changed on it at all; they have not. You were being an ass in your original reply to me, and the whole "I was going to help you but I'm not" is SUCH a passive aggressive nerd move. "I am superior to you, I'm going to make sure you know it, I'll make you think I can help, but I won't." ... kudos. You're the kind of person that makes me loathe tech communities in general.

[ghost]

Again, I am sorry that I upset you. It wasn’t intentional, but maybe you don’t realise that your first response (also passive-aggressive) was quite rude, upsetting and came as a shock to me as my intentions were honest - certainly not to be an ass.

Regardless, I tried to apologise and give space, which has also been misinterpreted. I don’t think anything I can write will change that, so I'm out.
