Cannot enable the chat related services to send Teams messages

[pantherale0]

Hi,

I'm trying to link my personal Office 365 account (M365 Business Premium so technically a "work" account) with Home Assistant to be able to send notifications to my actual work account.

This integration creates the chat sensor, but when setting enable_updates to true under the chat_sensors section, the integration no longer loads with the following error logged:

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:398
First occurred: 13:17:19 (1 occurrences)

Error during setup of component o365

    ATTR_MEMBERS: ",".join(memberlist),
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/setup.py", line 398, in _async_setup_component
    result = await task
             ^^^^^^^^^^

    raise ex

What is needed to enable the o365.send_chat_message service (https://rogerselwyn.github.io/O365-HomeAssistant/services.html#o365send_chat_message)?

Thanks

I would delete your token (which you will need to do anyway) and re-authenticate, since you will need to give HA the authority to send messages as well.

Thanks, just tried that, no luck:

This error originated from a custom integration.

Ok. I’ll look into it. Unfortunately I won’t be able to look at it until next week. Just disable the update until then.

Thanks, I've just spotted something that I think a few users on the forum might be interested in (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/microsoft-teams-status/202388/1). There's an endpoint to get external user presences (I think as long as they are a member of some description in a different tenant) - /communications/getPresencesByUserId which accepts a post request like so:

{
"ids": [...str array of guids...]
}

I'll see if I can find some time to add the functionality to python-o365 so it could then be used as part of this integration which if I can figure out, I'd be happy to open up a PR 👍

Sounds good

Just a thought, the integration already gets current user teams status. Are you trying to add the ability to get another users status?

[pantherale0]

Yes, in this case from an external directory (work disabled the ability to create app registrations and won't approve this without good business justification).

[RogerSelwyn]

Something to think about for python-o365, how do people supply a guid when probably what they know is an email address.

This error seems to be because one of the members of the chat group has no DisplayName. I'm adding a fallback to email address

[RogerSelwyn]

Issue should be fixed with v4.7.2

Thanks, all is working now :1st_place_medal:
