Assistance with Rest sensor configuration for Fireboard temperature controller

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get a rest sensor configured for my Fireboard temperature controller.

Using curl, this is the needed syntax:

curl “https://fireboard.io/api/v1/devices/694c788a-8ed1-4c3b-8fa1-feb39c2b6a7f/temps.json” -H “Authorization: Token 2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx7”

Here’s how I have it setup in Home Assistant:

- platform: rest
  resource: https://fireboard.io/api/v1/devices/6xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxf/temps.json
  name: list fireboard temperatures
  payload: '"Authorization: Token 2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx7"'
  json_attributes:
    - channel
    - temp

I’m getting this message in Home Assistant:
“{“detail”:“Authentication credentials were not provided.”}”

I’m sure I formatted something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You’ll need to pass the authorization in the headers instead of payload

I manged to get rest sensor working like this:

sensor:
#Fireboard
  - platform: rest
    resource: https://fireboard.io/api/v1/devices/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx/temps.json
    name: fireboard temperatures
    headers: 
      Authorization: Token exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    scan_interval: 30  
    json_attributes:
      - channel
      - temp

So I got this in Home assistant sensor
[{"temp":109.3,"degreetype":1,"channel":1,"created":"2021-10-07T14:17:49Z"}]

What is the best way to get proper sensor output from this?
Also not sure if scan_interval: 30 is the correct way to limit queries from api. Fireboard api limit is 200 per hour.

@Routout have you had any luck with getting this to work?

Yes I got it working. But after some update for HA it stopped working and I removed integration after that. I can not remember anymore what was the reason of the breakage.
EDIT: If I remember correctley there was some changes to Rest API on HA.

I have made a Python Script to get all values I need and it populates sensors. I use config-template-card with apexcharts-card to graph the values. If someone are interested I can make the script more dynamic and share everything with you?

This is an early cook, that is why it looks funny. It is on right now, so I can update how it looks when it has been cooking for a while.
