2021.9.0: More energy, USB discovery, template ❤️

Yeah rolling back didn’t help. I suspect its an issue with getting the plant info and it only appears when the integration loads. If it was already running it was fine…

I am having the same issue. Growatt was working perfectly on 2021.9.0 and when I upgraded to 2021.9.5 (today) it stopped functioning. I removed the integration and now cannot re-install it. I keep getting an authentication error when inputting my login details.

Do you have any errors in your logs that says something about a change from EUR to GBP or ZAR.

If you do you may need to edit the DB to resolve it.

I did and editing the db fixed it thanks

Will look in to this, however it is not all that great since that is essentially hardcoding the icon colors. so if i switch my theme i need to switch the customize as well. And then the other people in he house that also use it are forced to be stuck with whatever color i pick and not the color of the theme they have.

It’s like they took this bug, https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/52661, and made it a feature. The lights do not have RGB so those attributes shouldnt be forced on to the light entities to change the icon color.

Anybody found a solution as yet?

We definitely pay for water consumed and measure it in cubic meters same like gas consumed. In order to get energy from gas meter, you need to calculate that based on cubic meters and the way applied to turn this into energy (your heaters, kitchen appliances), taking also efficiency factors into account.
In order to get money paid per cubic meter you don’t need to have more than base price of the unit measured. Both for gas and for water. Isnt’ water consumed an energy? Yes, may agree, but this is money sinking out of our pockets. In some areas pretty impressive sum.
Soon also we will all feel effect of global water shortage, so this is good to show family members how much it is consumed after each shower.

Nothing yet.

Did you manage to get it running again?

I’m facing the same issue upgrading from 2021.8.8 to 2021.9.5. Also using pip.
Unable to connect. Process is running but seems to be hanging on the database. I see db-shm file (size 32768) and db-wal (size 0). The latter always stays zero bytes.

At some time I see: Setup timed out for stage 1 - moving forward in the log but then it waits on Waiting on integrations to complete setup: input_select, tag, input_datetime, input_number, input_text, timer, zone, input_boolean, counter

Never gets through this stage though.
Reverted back to 2021.8.8 and everything runs fine again.

I had encountered a similar problem on Raspberry Pi3, after upgrading to 2021.9.5 I could no longer access HA.
I went back to 2021.8.8 and then tried the update again, restart homeassistant service and waited about 30 minutes before trying to connect and it finally worked. I don’t know if this will solve your problem, I don’t know what was blocking it, I think the Raspberry took a while to rebuild everything…

Is there anyone else who has problems with theme’s that won’t work? I use these to change the color from the gauge card. Now they al have the blue green yellow and red again. I’m on version 2021.9.5 and came from 2021.8.6

2021.9.6 is now released. Maybe this fixed something for you? Release 2021.9.6 · home-assistant/core (github.com)

It’s been a few days and it still definitely hotter than it was, by about 5-7 degrees I think. Staying under 60 so not super worried about it but would be good to know if there is any way to bring it back down? CPU running a bit harder too I think

Ok now climbing to over 62 degrees. Might downgrade until this is resolved!?!!

I’m struggling to getting gas values to show up in the energy dashboard. I’m able to select the correct sensor, but it’s always remaining at 0 m³ in the energy distribution visualization, histogram and table:


When having a look at the sensor in other dashboards, it’s counting perfectly fine:

I’m using an Aqara door/window sensor to count the rotations of the gas meter (works fine due to the magnet on the last digit). This is how my sensor looks like:

- platform: template
    sensors:
      daily_gas:
        unit_of_measurement: m³
        value_template: >-
          {% set count = states('sensor.daily_gas_rotations') | int %}
          {% set m3_per_pulse = 0.01 %}
          {% set m3 = count * m3_per_pulse %}
          {{ m3 }}

And this is how it’s looking in customize.yaml:

sensor.daily_gas:
  state_class: measurement
  friendly_name: Gaszähler
  device_class: gas

Any idea why the energy dashboard isn’t picking up the correct value from the sensor? Help is greatly appreciated!

Same here as well.

can you please share a picture of how you have mounted the sensor on the meter? And the type of meter you have.
I believe I would have the same magnetic meter, but I can’t get aqara to recognize it

Sure. It’s an Aqara door/window sensor (MCCGQ11LM). I cracked the case open and just taped the sensor into the little socket underneath the meter (it has the exact same width as the socket, like it’s meant to be installed there :wink: ).

uh, mine has a massive case around it with no slot to insert the sensor. But I think I will give it a try, might need to destroy one of my sensors though, but I think it’s worth a try without case. Thanks a lot for the picture!

There are discussions to change the off icon: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/pull/10022

That could help with this point as well.
