Error while setting up deltasol platform for sensor

[Steff6666]

Hi,

Thanks for your this custom component, I really hope I can get it to work.

Installed from HACS and got two (2) errors after restart and can not get it to work.

Logs say...

yaml file:

sensor:

• platform: deltasol host: 192.168.1.124 username: admin password: !secret deltasol scan_interval: 00:05

[dm82m]

Format of scan_interval is wrong: it should be only a number in seconds. Change that and restart.

[Steff6666]

I changed it to just a number 30, ...and restarted but still getting same errors. Even tried to remove it , but both errors are the same and no sensors are found.

[dm82m]

Can you put that into your browser and post me the results: http://192.168.1.124/cgi-bin/resol-webservice

[Steff6666]

vendor = "RESOL" product = "DL2" serial = "001E664234FC" version = "2.2.4" build = "201909120704" name = "DL2-001E664234FC" features = "vbus,dl2,jobparam"

[dm82m]

You have a DL2 and no KM2 so this plugin is not yet suiting your needs.

[dm82m]

But you can have a look here and test it out and tell us if that works: https://github.com/dm82m/hass-Deltasol-KM2/issues/3

[Steff6666]

Thanks for your support! I tried to find out how to copy the two files, but so far I have not managed. I can open the files and copy the content and then paste it in new files...but the formatting and lines are not copied correctly. Im a newbie to this and appreciate all help a lot, thanks!

[dm82m]

you can copy the content of both files from the following links and need to replace the content with them in your home assistant folder. after that you need to put mode: dlx into the sensor definition (equal to host). it should look like:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dm82m/hass-Deltasol-KM2/7f52cf6d9810aa266150b12bbf6b8d6de0e88c59/custom_components/deltasol/deltasolapi.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dm82m/hass-Deltasol-KM2/7f52cf6d9810aa266150b12bbf6b8d6de0e88c59/custom_components/deltasol/sensor.py

sensor:
  - platform: deltasol
    host: your_deltasol_hostname_or_ip_address
    username: your_username
    password: your_password
    api_mode: dlx

and then restart your home assistant instant and provide feedback here.

[Steff6666]

Im getting this error now Invalid config for [sensor.deltasol]: [mode] is an invalid option for [sensor.deltasol]. Check: sensor.deltasol->mode. (See ?, line ?).

I added the raw text in existing files in HA and attach them here, I hope they are correct.

Deltasol.zip

[dm82m]

ah sorry, it is api_mode not mode. changed it above in my last post

[Steff6666]

its changed , but still error Invalid config for [sensor.deltasol]: [api_mode] is an invalid option for [sensor.deltasol]. Check: sensor.deltasol->api_mode. (See ?, line ?).

[dm82m]

@chiefdeputy can you have a look here

i guess it should be mode and not api_Mode and also the files @steff6666 provided seems to be the correct ones.

@steff6666 but you restarted home assistant server after you made the changes to the python files - right?

[Steff6666]

No its not restarted yet...I was thinking the same that this could be the reason. The reason was that it was not possible to restart because the yaml file was invalid. I will ignore the "mode" to get a valid config file->restart-> put mode back....give me some minutes

[dm82m]

Yes, without a restart it can’t work. Leave mode away, restart, add mode: dlx and restart again

[Steff6666]

I´m having issues with HA, because of the sensor.py file. The validation of yaml file is not possible. When I try to restart It say (unicode error) utf-8´codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 0: invalid start byte (sensor.py, line 145). Maybe the .py files are not correct after my updates?

[Steff6666]

It was the degree symbol that cause the problem. Just removed it and now configuration is fine. Restarted HA -> put mode: dlx in -> checked configuration and it was fine -> restarted. No errors in logs now!

Next step is to find sensors...but can not find any Deltasol sensors so far...

[Steff6666]

YES!! I found the sensors now. They are named just sensor.temperature etc without any "DeltaSol" in the name...is that correct? Thanks a lot for your help!

[dm82m]

yes thats it, I am just releasing a new official version so you can update the plugin in a few minutes.

[Steff6666]

Great! How to do with Unicode '°C' ? HA stopped working for me because of this degree symbol.

[dm82m]

release is out, can you please upgrade to 0.1.0 and tell me if this also solves your unicode problem?

[dm82m]

I close here. In case there is a Unicode issue please file a new bug!

[Steff6666]

Just upgraded and all works fine and no problem with unicode. Thanks!
