JSONDecodeError

Stopped syncing yesterday and a reboot gives the following error. Tried removing the integration and adding it back but it fails to add the integration.

This error originated from a custom integration.

I believe I'm seeing the same thing. Realized I was no longer seeing the energy consumption data in the Energy dashboard, tried reloading the integration without change, so I deleted the integration and tried adding again, but the setup fails with this message:

[%key:common::config_flow::error::unknown%]

The "official" https://github.com/lawrencefoley/evergy also has this issue. I did some digging and account_data[0].contents[0] is just an empty string with a newline character.

Here's the related issue: https://github.com/lawrencefoley/evergy/issues/34

I think it might be better to include my library as a dependency instead of having another copy of the code. That way if modifications like this are needed they only need to be changed in one place. Thoughts? @thebradleysanders

I agree with you @lawrencefoley, I will work on getting your library added.

I have merged the fix provided by: @Ben-Reg, Version 1.0.5 includes this fix and has been released. Thanks @Ben-Reg, @tboyce021 & @terryhonn.
