'Unknown Error' when trying to connect to Meteobridge Nano

[blew1234]

Im struggling with the update to the new version. I followed the instructions, but I keep getting an 'Unknown Error' error when I attempt to start the new integration. Ive checked that I don't have any traces of the old version still present. I checked the Host logs, and I get the following:

Can you help me with this? I am guessing this is something wrong my end, but i can't see the issue looking at the above.

Many thanks!

It seems I expect some values that are not setup on your system. Please change USERNAME, PASSWORD and IP_ADDRESS in the below string to your own Meteobridge data, and then copy the line to a Web Browser and post the result here.

http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS/cgi-bin/template.cgi?template=[mbsystem-mac:--];[mbsystem-swversion:--];[mbsystem-platform:--];[mbsystem-station:--];[mbsystem-timezone:--];[mbsystem-uptime:--];[mbsystem-ip:--];[mbsystem-altitude:--]

Apologies for the late reply and thank you for your response.

I have tried what you asked above, and it enters into a loop where it is asking for my username and password, which I type in, but it doesn't accept and just asks for it again (it doesn't say it's wrong, it just cycles back).

I have tried the password separately via a normal log in to the nano, and it lets me in fine.

[briis]

Are you sure you remember the : between username and password? And the @ between password and ip address?

Basically this is the same call I use to retrieve data, so it should work.

[blew1234]

Right - operator error! Apologies

B8:D8:12:60:5B:50;5.2;VOCORE2;Vantage;Europe/London;845;192.168.242.65;--

From that, I can see you have not entered the height above sea level for your station. Go to the Meteobridge Nano, and then select Station and Settings. Here you must enter the Altitude of your station, and then click save. Wait a minute and then try and run the above command again.

[blew1234]

Done

B8:D8:12:60:5B:50;5.2;VOCORE2;Vantage;Europe/London;1582;192.168.242.65;76.0

[briis]

Good. Now could you try and start the integration in Home Assistant again. Just go to the Integration page, and click the 3 dots in the lower right corner, and select Reload. Then let us see if there are still errors.

[blew1234]

It's working! Brilliant! Thank you so much.

Was it the lack of altitude which was causing the issue?

[briis]

Yes. Altitude is also important for the Meteobridge Station as some of the Values you see are based on Weather Math, which sometimes requires the altitude of the Station to be correct. I also use it in a few formulas for this. The next version has a check for the missing altitude, so it would still run, just missing some values.
