Sorry to bump this thread. But it is no longer working for quite sometime. Appreciate if someone can make it works again. Thanks.
It looks like the repo hasn’t been updated for over a year, which is a shame as this is quite handy sensor.
Sorry for bumping this
HI All,
I saw this sensor yesterday and as i was interested i started to rewrite this sensor.
As the current sensor wasnt updated for 2 years and not working on newer versions of HA
Its still in the begin fase so it will take a while before i have it up and running.
I currently have it working with again on 0.107.0b5 but only with basic information as name and price of the product.
As soon as i have a better working version i will post it on my github page.
Kind Regards,
Dion
Update, there is a initial release available, will only get name and price.
need to work on the rest, but because of work this will take a while.
Great work, thank you!
I was trying to track Apple Airpods pro on amazon.fr but for some reason it doesn’t work, the sensor status returns “unknown”. Any idea why? thank you.
Actually it doesn’t work with the French version of amazon web site
I am far from being an expert in coding, but after a bit of investigation the following two lines return no values:
RAW_NAME = doc.xpath('//span[contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"productTitle") or contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"Title")]/text()')
RAW_SALE_PRICE = doc.xpath('//span[contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"priceBlockStrikePriceString") or contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"priceblock_ourprice")]/text()')
Which is very strange since the span structure and naming of the French web site is the same as the NL, DE, ENG web sites.
I don’t know how to fix that
Hi,
not sure why there is a github url in your id field:
RAW_NAME = doc.xpath('//span[contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"productTitle") or contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"Title")]/text()')
RAW_SALE_PRICE = doc.xpath('//span[contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"priceBlockStrikePriceString") or contains([@id](https://github.com/id),"priceblock_ourprice")]/text()
it should be like this
RAW_NAME = doc.xpath('//span[contains(@id,"productTitle") or contains(@id,"Title")]/text()')
RAW_SALE_PRICE = doc.xpath('//span[contains(@id,"priceBlockStrikePriceString") or contains(@id,"priceblock_ourprice")]/text()')
Hi, thanks for your answer. I don’t know neither where this github http address comes from, that is not what I copied/pasted.
I found the issue and fixed it, the Amazon French web site is blocking robots with a captcha.
Hi! Would you please share your fix? Trying with Amazon Italy but the sensor always results “unknown”.
Thanks!
Hi. I used browser spoofing and changed the http-agent in the python script.
Lovely!
That’s too much for me.
I’ll wait for a proper patch by the author, if ever
Hi,
I keep getting the following error:
Platform error sensor.amazon_pw - Integration ‘amazon_pw’ not found.
Do i add the sensor.py directly into my custom_components folder or do i need to do something else. Please help! Bit of a noob with home assistant still.
It should be in /custom_componets/amazon_pw/
as below.
@Mkipz However, I just tested, and it’s throwing the following error.
amazon_pw: Error on device update!

@DKO75 Do you mind sharing the steps to accomplish this?
Hi,
I understand this is your very old post, however, i was hoping if you could re-share this integration please?
Thanks
