Unknown error after setup

[Schmandre]

Hey,

first, thank you for your work. I think we can get it working for me, so I can provide you any information you want for furture testing.

I just setup the custom component using hacs and defining the sensor in configuration.yaml

Unfortunately, I get the following error

homeassistant  |   self._api.init(self._username, self._password)

homeassistant  | 2023-11-13 18:12:56.478 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] apsystemsapi: Error on device update!

Any information I can provide you?

The setup in configuration file locks like that

# APSystems EZ1-M API
sensor:
  - platform: apsystemsapi
    username: censored@censoredde
    password: mysupersecurepassword

My username is similar to my email, so I censored that.

You can't provide any more information, but this error could occur if the device is offline. I'll push an update which will include some more information

[Schmandre]

Sounds logical. Device is offline atm, cause its dark night 👍🏽☺️

thank you

thank you

Maybe try again tomorrow and tell me if the issue persists. You have to restart home assistant for that

[mawoka-myblock]

Ok, the error should now include some more details. You can also try it again now to tell me what it says.

Thank you for your fast push.

The error returns now code 1001 as you can see here

The error 1001 means that the device is offline (as expected)

[mawoka-myblock]

Should be fixed.

[Schmandre]

Sounds good. So I`ll retry tomorrow and will inform you afterwards

[Schmandre]

After device is back online, everything works. Thank you
