Configuration
1

hi. i need some help to use scrape sensor to pull up the prices of the fuel of this page:


i want to extract the price of Gasolina 95 Simples , price of Gasolina 95 + and so on (the 5 prices)

i have done inspect on top of price that i want : and then copy and copy selecter
it gives this:
#station > div.box.main > div.precos > div:nth-child(1) > div.valor > div
and mark the price on the webpage.
but the proble is when i put on homeassistant , nothing shows
if i test on css selector text (extension of chrome) it works !

Hi, I read your code because I’m also trying out the multi scrape sensor. I’m not a programmer at all, I’m learning.

I notice that you use single en double quotes in your select. Why?

select: ‘#station > div.box.main > div.precos > div:nth-child(1) > div.valor > div’

vs

    select: "div:nth-child(2)>div.valor"

In the second select, there is no space inbetween the “greater” symbol

I checked the select and the value is shown. Maybe, you have to convert the data type (from string to an integer) if you want to calculate with it.
