Anyone? Platform not found: sensor.essent

Third party integrations

Hi!

I’m trying to use the essent platform but can’t get it to work. I keep getting error:

Platform not found: sensor.essent . On adding the essent sensor to my configuration.

Im running the latest 0.95.1 on a Linux host. But also on previous versions of HA i didnt get it working. It’s added to my configuration as by the documentation defaults of the essent sensor, all my other sensors are working as expected.

sensor:
  - platform: essent
    username: [email protected]
    password: xxxxx

Anyone else has this problem? Or better, a solution?

Thanks!

Hi,

I suggest to check the logs. My guess would be that your HA has troubles installing the required Python package “PyEssent”

I did not find any errors in the .log. I tried installing PyEssent manually, but is seems already installed. A forced yum reinstallation fixed the issue.

The sensors aren’t updating after running once tho. But innitial problem fixed!

Thanks!
