No data in kiosk mode since January 1st

[enorkus]

It seems that the entities became unavailable since January 1st. I've got a notification about some maintanance from FusionSolar around that time too, so maybe it's related.

My inverter is online, I can see the data in FusionSolar app as well as in the web browser. My kiosk url is just around 6 months old, but just in case I've tried adding it again and it says no devices or entities, even though the kiosk url is reachable and working.

How do I debug? There are no logs that I'm aware of.

Not sure it's related to the kiosk mode. All the entities became 'unavailable' for me as well on January 1st, 4am, local time (EET).

Ok, I've got some debug logs. It seems that something's changed in the API:

I have tested it with my personal kiosk url and this provides me with the correct data.

Can you check if the kiosk url is still working? And if so: could you try to remove an add the integration again? If that is not working could you mail (fusionsolar-ha [at] verkoyen [dot] eu) the kiosk url, so I can try to replicate the issue.

@tijsverkoyen I have the same error, and the Kiosk URL does seem to have been invalidated judging by the Huawei interface.

I'm apparently not smart enough to find the configuration where the URL is stored in HomeAssistant to update the existing URL. I'd rather not delete and re-create it, as that would probably delete data as well, could you point me at how to update the URL?

It might be worth adding this description to this section as well.

Thanks for the extension though! It's been running flawlessly for a year! :)

The configuration can be found in the configuration.yaml file (in my case stored in the secrets.yaml file, but that is up to personal preference):

• platform: fusion_solar_kiosk kiosks:
  • url: !secret fusion_solar_url name: "Solcellsanläggning"

[martinnj]

The configuration can be found in the configuration.yaml file (in my case stored in the secrets.yaml file, but that is up to personal preference):

- platform: fusion_solar_kiosk
  kiosks:
  - url: !secret fusion_solar_url
    name: "Solcellsanläggning"

Mine wasn't there, it didn't have it in any of the other config files. I tried adding it on a lark, and HA says fusion_solar_kiosk is an unknown platform, is that maybe another extension? :)

I tried changing it to just fusion_solar which let it load, but there is still more errors. I'll try and dive more into it.

Some updates from my end:

Was because fusion_solar_kiosk is the old extension.

It doesn't seem like this one reads from configuration.yaml, instead it seems to read from /config/.storage/core.config_entries. I updated the Kiosk URL there, and now it works again. :)

EDIT: Huge disclaimer, according to the forum posts on HA's own forum, the .storage folder is not supposed to be user edited, so take proper precautions if you mess with it. :)

The issue still persists with valid kiosk url. I see two relevant error in the logs, based on these I also think the kiosk API was changed:

If that is not working could you mail (fusionsolar-ha [at] verkoyen [dot] eu) the kiosk url, so I can try to replicate the issue.

[TokraHun]

Right after midnight it started working again... I didn't update anything in my HA, so maybe it was really a kiosk API change?

@silfax

Not sure it's related to the kiosk mode. All the entities became 'unavailable' for me as well on January 1st, 4am, local time (EET).

Are you using Kiosk-mode? As I interpret your reply as you are not using kiosk mode. If so, there is another issue: https://github.com/tijsverkoyen/HomeAssistant-FusionSolar/issues/126

[tijsverkoyen]

The configuration can be found in the configuration.yaml file (in my case stored in the secrets.yaml file, but that is up to personal preference):

• platform: fusion_solar_kiosk kiosks:

  • url: !secret fusion_solar_url name: "Solcellsanläggning"

This is not correct!

It might be worth adding this description to this section as well.

I have added a separate entry in the FAQ: I need to change the Kiosk URL

@enorkus, Can you check if the issue is resolved? If not: can you mail me your kiosk url?

[enorkus]

I have not changed any configuration and it just started working today. I've also got another maintenance message from FusionSolar, so I'm guessing they had messed something up with the API previously and now fixed it. My kiosk url was accessible and working this whole time. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Thanks for your time - very useful integration :)
