I’ve added the custom HACS repository and the FPL integration component has been installed. I have restarted HA, but I don’t see how to configure the components. The installation instructions says
In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "Florida Power & Light"
but there is no Florida Power & Light integration there. Also, there is no fpl sensor created yet, so I’m guessing I need to do something else, but not sure what.
Also, the home-assistant log file shows that the component is loaded.
2021-05-25 14:51:21 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration fpl which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant
Thanks for this awesome integration. Being completely new to it all, trying to use your example code to create a nifty new card. The one area causing me grief is the code for the card you shared. The area that is stumping me is the entities: which sensor does there just above the type:‘custom: config-template-card’?
Has there been anyone able to get the information from the fpl sensors to be read by the energy monitor database. I cannot seem to get energy monitor to recognize this as a sensor
I have made some progress on polling FPL’s APIs and fetching hourly energy meter readings which I can import into the energy dashboards for HomeAssistant via a MQTT sensor. The problem is that the meter readings are 5-6 hours old by the time they become available in the FPL API. When posting new data to a sensor I see no way to override the timestamp, which is always “now”. The timestamps need to be in the past, when the meter was read (data that is available in the API) but HomeAssistant does not seem to support this.
I have put this into HA and then restarted the system. I then tryed to find FPL in the intergrations in HA as well as HACS. It does not show up and I am extreamly interested in trying to get it to work and try and adding to make this better for through coading. If anyone has any ideas where I can find the “Intergration” for this, please let me know
