Custom Configuration Errors

Third party integrations
1

Good afternoon,
I’m seeing errors in my logs for Honeywell Lyric My custom configuration. I’ve posted the errors on the developer’s github site, but I’m not sure how active the developer is.

I know I should be able to edit the code in the custom configuration folder for the sensor.py file, but I’m not sure what I need to change based upon the errors I’m seeing (not a developer, but I do IT work for a living).

I found these entries in the sensor.py config file for the integration:

    LyricSensorEntityDescription(
        key="Battery",
        translation_key="battery",
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.BATTERY,
        state_class=SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT,
        value_fn=lambda device: device.attributes.get("batteryRemaining"),
        suitable_fn=lambda device: device.attributes.get("batteryRemaining"),
    ),
    LyricSensorEntityDescription(
        key="WiFi",
        translation_key="wifi",
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.SIGNAL_STRENGTH,
        state_class=SensorStateClass.MEASUREMENT,
        value_fn=lambda device: abs(device.attributes.get("wifiSignalStrength")),
        suitable_fn=lambda device: abs(device.attributes.get("wifiSignalStrength")),
    ),

Can anybody advise how to fix the errors?

I guess this is a custom component?
Take example on the official integration, e.g.

It was an offshoot of the official component for their leak detectors. The official Lyric integration doesn’t work with HA, so a developer did an offshoot and came up with this solution.

Thanks. I’ll give that a shot and see if the error goes away.

Okay, adding the line with PERCENTAGE worked for Battery, but I've been trying to add dBm or dB for WiFi signal stregth, and it's not working.

This reference seems to indcate either one of those should be used, but it also just says “%” for the Battery class, and I needed to use PERECENTAGE.
