Unexpected error fetching weatherflow data: list index out of range

[dhover]

A small problem and hopefully easy to fix. The battery of my Tempest weatherstation has died. Now the integration doesn't initialize.

Is the device up and running again? What would you have liked to happen? I can make a more graceful exit, but without any data, I cannot continue setting it up.

I have now made a more graceful handling of this, and instead of a crash log you will not get a warning in the log file and on the Integration page you will get this image. It will retry the connection with some Interval.

Could that work?

I pushed out release 0.1.14. Should be available in HACS with the next hour. Closing this issue.

Yes that works fine. Thanks for that. Now I am waiting for the new Tempest station. It will be replaced!

One remark about the new integration: I compared the sensors from the old smartweather integration and the new one. I found one sensor is missing e.g. "Station information". Did you do that on purpose?

Glad that this worked for you.

Hope you get it soon.

"Station information". Did you do that on purpose?

Yes. But just to see if anyone actually noticed 😁. I wanted to clean out sensors that nobody used, and I was not sure if this was used by anyone. Can I ask you to create a new issue, where you want this sensor back?

I don't need it. It was only a remark in case you hadn't noticed it.

I think I will do it anyway. Thanks.
