@sym0nd0 - The council only allow parsing of street names, so please put the street name into the house number field and try again.

The 'location' field, i believe, is how you will refer to the device location internally in Home Assistant, i.e. "Home".

Putting "Chadburn Road" into the house number field should give you the right results. Please can you test and let me know?

Appreciate there is some confusion, there was no field for 'street name only' for me to use so had to use house number. This is loosely documented in the wiki page for the council however thats mostly talking about how to use it on the command line

OMG, I knew it would be user error but never thought to try that. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I've just checked and it's working as expected.

Thanks for the quick help and your work to get this one sorted, @skelt0.

No worries @sym0nd0! Glad it's working now!
