Hey, just wondering if anybody can help with the utility meter helper?
I have set the 3 entities in my configuration.yml file for today, week and month, however I am unsure how to configure these in the actual utility meter?
Many thanks!
Did you add your wallet in to the configuration as well, example titled “Configure sensors for Helium wallets:”?

Is there only one section starting with “sensor:”? I added my helium wallet to an existing sensor section.
I think it checks every 15 minutes. Maybe it needs some activity on the wallet also.
Do you see any numbers in Developer > States > filter entities using “wallet”?
Hi,
yes only one sensor section.
I checked the states, (good shout) see below, nothing much showing?
I mean I only have like 0.3 HNT collected over about 4 days, so maybe that is something to do with it?
You may have to wait for a day before daily weekly and monthly shooting to life.
Do you get other values. For example sensor.helium_hnt_oracle_price gives me 9.16.

Yes I do see a value for that .
I’ll leave it a while.
Hi, does this automation still works with the latest version of HA. Cannot get it to run.
It’s still working for me. The price of helium is down and the daily rewards from my miner are low, so it may not appear to be moving but it is.

Yep still working for me too. I’m not mentioning earnings, it’s too painful to talk about 
Working as well. Unless Helium changes the APIs they expose entirely…this should continue to work indefinitely.
Would be awesome if someone added support for $MOBILE and $IOT…
awesome integration. thanks for your work.
every now and then i get this error:

once i get this error it never seems to recover from it. i have to restart home assistant a few times to get past it. it would be awesome if the integration could retry after getting this error.
cheers,
I have also started getting this error, well actually started getting it months ago. Usually takes a few restarts to get going again.
Would adding a delay to startup help, or as @chilicheech mentioned maybe there is a more elegant way to capture the error and restart it?
hey, is it still working? Value of Helium HNT/USD 2,19 no change since 2 days.

For me it looks like it stooped a few days ago when it converted to Solana.
Correct, this integration is specific to the Helium blockchain. If someone wants to contribute changes to make it work using the Solana blockchain, they are welcome to submit the changes and Pull Requests. Otherwise, this integration will be archived.
I think uptime is still working, it is just everything associated to the wallet as opposed to the hardware… that is no longer working
