10 months ago I was in the same boat and eventually got it working. Try these steps
1) Make sure you've backed up your API key or at least have that on hand ready to use, then:
Option 1 - Reconfigure the integration (remove and re-add the integration configuration/device)
2) Navigate to: Settings -> Devices & services -> Load shedding 3) Under "Integration entries" on the right side, remove the instance of "Load shedding" (it should contain 1 device and 5 entities) 4) Click "Add entry" and follow the wizard to select/add your new City Power area
Or if that doesn't work:
Option 2 - Reinstall and reconfigure the plugin from scratch
2) Navigate to: HACS -> Integrations -> Load shedding 3) Click the settings dots at top right, and click Remove.
- It may ask you to delete the configuration, in which case click Navigate and remove using steps 2-3 in the previous section (Option 1) to remove the integration configuration. 4) Re-add the integration from scratch by going back to HACS -> Integrations -> EXPLORE & DOWNLOAD REPOSITORIES and then seach for "Load shedding". I used the master branch and it worked for me
Afterwards, you're going to need to update your dashboards etc to reflect the new sensor name.
If none of this works or you get an error when searching for your area while configuring, then make sure you haven't already reached your daily API allowance count limit for your ESP API key. If so, you may need to try again after 24 hours.
