# Home Assistant custom sensors

## IKEA Availability sensor
This sensor retrieves the number of available units in stock of a product at the specified IKEA store. Use it to trigger a notification when a product is back in stock or similar.

### Installation
Copy the [ikea.py](https://github.com/psvanstrom/hass/blob/master/custom_components/sensor/ikea.py) script to your custom components directory: `<HASS_DIR>/custom_components/sensor`.

### Configuration
Add an IKEA availability sensor using the sensor platform:

```
sensor:
  - platform: ikea
    product_id: 40364748
    store: '012'
    url_locale: se/sv
    friendly_name: Trådfri wireless control outlet
```

I made a custom component for monitoring the in-store availability of selected IKEA products. I mainly use it to monitor often sold out Trådfri gadgets that I want to get my hands on, like the outlet and range extender. Add a couple of sensors and have an automation send you a notification once the product(s) are in stock. Maybe useful for others as well?

I’m using an undocumented XML-based API available at the IKEA website (for most countries anyway), this can of course change as soon as IKEA changes the API, rendering the sensors non-functional.

Thank you for this! It still works.
To make it work now, you have to add manifest.json and an init.py file

Example here: https://github.com/home-assistant/example-custom-config/tree/master/custom_components/example_sensor/

Is there a working version of this?
