Load Shedding Status is 0, but show Unknown in card.

[Zodiac-69]

In the Developer tools, both, sensor.load_shedding_stage_eskom and sensor.load_shedding_stage_capetown, show that the current stage is 0, but the State is Unknown.

Seems as if the integration is not running, the "API" count does no change every 30 min., only when i reload.

But implementing your 1st card (Mushroom Chips) i get a stage of "Unknown" for both of them. The 2nd card is also failing, i presume for the same reason, not a number when it tries to calculate the stage.

What i see in

Any idea where i can look?

This is the error i see in the log file:

Hi Werner

Thank you, that resolved the problem. One more, i presume it also has to do with that here is no loadshedding - "timedelta" error in Status Alert code.

Have you tried copying from the latest examples? There were some fixes in the previous release, but you need to update your dashboards

Hi Werner

Thank you, i did. It seems that the error is there until the next API call. The second blank bar is the Status Alert - Should that also show - "No Load Shedding"?

[wernerhp]

It should if you have the latest status_alert.yaml dashboard code, yes.
