HAdashboard RSS doesn't work for me

xela · March 15, 2018, 6:07am

Hello, I’m trying to add the rss feed to my main panel but i’m getting “entity not found: news” message.
my appdaemon.yaml file looks like this:
secrets: /config/secrets.yaml
log:
logfile: STDOUT
errorfile: STDERR

appdaemon:

rss_feeds:
- feed: http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss
target: news
rss_update: 300
threads: 10

and my widget looks like this:
rss_news:
widget_type: rss
entity: news
interval: 5
title: Latest News
text_style: “font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold”

I’m using HASSIO (the latest update).
what am I doing wrong?

Can you format your yaml file using preformatted text button so I can see the indentation please. Also, can you post the ENTIRE log file from AppDaemon including startup so I can see the version.

Hey all,

I am having the same issue, been looking at this for a few days now and its driving me mad!

my appDaemon config is this:

appdaemon:
disable_apps: 1
threads: 10
app_dir: /config/appdaemon/apps

rss_feeds:
- feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/uk/gizmodo
target: BBCNews

rss_update: 300

log is this:

and my dash config is this:

news:
widget_type: rss
entity: BBCNews
title: BBC headlines
interval: 10

But all i am getting in the UI is entity not found…

Any ideas?

aimc · March 16, 2018, 4:25pm

OK, looks like this was an issue with the docs (now fixed). The rss_feeds list should be under the hadashboard section not the appdaemon section - give that a try and let me know if it works!

devonhomedev · March 16, 2018, 4:38pm

Awesome this works…its almost like you wrote this thing!

By the way, great app!

anon35356645 · March 16, 2018, 7:35pm

Can you please post your config, mine is still not working

devonhomedev · March 18, 2018, 1:42pm

Here you go claudio

hadashboard:
dash_url: http://192.168.0.30:5050/Home
dash_dir: /config/appdaemon/dashboards

Thanks a lot! I was having the same issue, was checking permissions of my files and folders and searching online for a while now until I found this

maurizio53 · October 8, 2018, 12:15pm

And in the Dashboard config, how to add more than one entity?
I mean, i have this entry:

rss:
    widget_type: rss
    entity: rss.cnn_news
    interval: 10
    title: CNN Latest News
    recent: 15
    show_description: 1

How to add more entity in the same widget?
