Integration only shows one tank

[sftgunner]

Hi! I've been using your integration for a little bit now, and it's worked really well. However, last week I got a second sensor installed on a second oil tank, and wanted to monitor both of them in home assistant.

However, only one of them appears at a time in HA - is this intentional functionality? I'm aware my use case isn't exactly standard, but I'm happy to try and help out to get it working.

I've tried adding the sensors independently by using the BOX2000#### username that includes each tank's serial number instead of my registered email address, but unfortunately this only works for the second physical sensor I added to my Kingspan account, not the first (the login fails when trying the same trick on the first physical sensor I attached to my Kingspan account).

Are both tanks registered to the same Sensit account? The underlying library does support multiple tanks though I've not been able to test that since I only have one myself. How comfortable are you with a command line? If you don't mind being a tester for me, I could give you some changes to the command-line utility that will at least give me an idea of how to query the data. Then I'd need to figure out how HA manages multiple devices from the same integration.

Yep, both on the same account. Just tried using the python library; it seems to be working fine returning data for both tanks as you'd expect. Happy to work with CLI and also to be a tester as needed!

You would need to do this (latest version is 2.1.0).

pip install kingspan-connect-sensor
kingspan-status --username you@domain.com --password s3cret

Obviously changing the credentials to the ones for your account.

I've just published a new version that should run over the list of tanks and print out the status for each tank. Something like this:

The Chapel:
    Capacity = 1300
    Serial Number = 2000XXXXX
    Model = Unknown
    Level = 50% (661 litres)
    Last Read = 2023-02-26 02:39:37.103000

Can confirm that version 2.1.0 works as intended: my output is as follows:

Oil Tank (Primary):
    Capacity = 2500
    Serial Number = [REDACTED]
    Model = H2500BT
    Level = 96% (2405 litres)

Great, thanks. That was the easy bit. I'll see what I can do in the HA integration.

[masaccio]

So I think I have something that could work. It doesn't seem to have broken my integration and the tests report 2 devices. Let me know how you get on after a HACS update

[sftgunner]

Blimey, that has got to be the fastest I've ever seen an issue fixed on a HA component before! That is all working perfectly post-update to 28e6a0a4cd826f11ed5fc6d7abd83216ee115f5b - very many thanks! The only bug (which is not an issue from my side at all, but thought I'd let you know!) is that the "Model" in HomeAssistant for each tank is now set as (or rather, not set), in comparison to before when it was the same as the tank name (and consequently, device name in HA). That might well be intentional, but I couldn't see any indication either way in the commit diffs.

[masaccio]

I made another update for the model, and also found the docs explaining how HACS presents versions and change logs on updates so that should be a lot clearer now.

[sftgunner]

Updated, and models now appearing! Very many thanks again :)
