Updating twitch_helix sensor took longer than the scheduled update interval 0:02:00

Some sensors seem to be not really accurate at the moment on my server.. My colleague streamed today and it was not picked up by the sensor (1h stream)

I also get these

Update of sensor.derkatzenkiller is taking over 10 seconds

Update of sensor.cryptzar is taking over 10 seconds

as one example of the sensor (no stream)

example with stream running

(dashducks streams 24/7 so it shouldn't show any "not streaming" part)

Hi. I'm not sure why this would happen on your box. It really shouldn't take very long to do a few API calls for a sensor, so a guess would be that the API is timing out. You could try to add some extra logging to the sensor.py script by using _LOGGER.error()

You could also just try to straight up restart your Home Assistant box and see if that gets it rolling again.

[NicciZar]

Okay I've restarted my box and I'm now waiting for my logs to tell me stuff.

It may just need some time. Also no one started streaming yet (to see the change in the entity)

I got the error below but I think it was just the general startup of the box that lead to this

Setup of sensor platform twitch_helix is taking over 10 seconds.

The issue above seems to be resolved.

I got an error when enabling the opt out list though..

This is my current working config

  - platform: twitch_helix
    client_id: XXXX
    client_secret: XXXX
    own_channel: "CryptZar"
    channels:
      - "DerKatzenKiller" # DerKatzenKiller - 107123013
      - "DashDucks" # DashDucks - 277624494
      - "CryptZar" # CryptZar - 124131318
      - "t0biehh" # t0biehh - 123327884
      - "Firehero_TTV" # Firehero_TTV - 546917774

Which seems to be working fine.

Now I wanted to opt out off of some api calls via

    api_opt_outs:
      - subscription_user
      - follow_user

But this breaks the config.. The config seems to be valid and after restarting the logs show the following

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "/config/custom_components/twitch_helix/sensor.py", line 218, in update
    self._follow[ATTR_FOLLOWERS_COUNT] = None
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

Removing the 3 lines of code restores it back

I also tried removing the

- follow_user

This worked and I can now see the streams again.

So the - follow_user seems to be broken somehow

[Radioh]

Thank you @NicciZar for investigating the issue. I could reproduce the error. It happens because an object hasn't been initialized properly when the follow_user is opted out, which would make the follow_total fail, because it was relying on follow_user to initialize an object.

That issue should now be fixed in the latest release: https://github.com/Radioh/ha_twitch_helix/releases/tag/v.0.5.4

[NicciZar]

Hi Radioh the issue is now fixed.

Thanks for the quick update :)
