Perfect then - just waiting for the gas reading to start populating. Run a kitchen sink worth of hot water at lunch time to generate some usage 
Thanks again for your help.
Has anyone elses stopped reporting consumption since around 10am today?
Data wasn’t in the bright app either but is now… reinstalled the integration and now i’m not getting a sensor at all 
Now i’m getting a reading which looks some what correct… why is it that i have had to delete and re-add the integration twice now? does anyone know? would it of evnetually come back by itself?

I only just noticed mine was no longer working. It stopped sometime on the 7th, presumably at around the same time as yours. I had to remove the integration and re-add…
I’ve come up with my own solution which i’m now running along side this addon… that way i can see if they both stop at the same time, then it’s nothing to do with the addon.
if you’re interested it’s here : Glow2MQTT - Send data from Glowmarkt / Hildebrand (Bright app) to MQTT

Hi, I’m with EON and using the Bright app to retrieve the meter readings. It’s working fine but on my smart meter (and same on the app) I can’t see the tariff I’m on so I can’t track my energy cost (despite the fact that on the smart meter I can see how much I spent every day/week/month/year).
Do I need to manually do all the calculation on HA?
I seem to having an issue where everytime I restart HA - the integration fails to authenticate (almost as if it’s lost my password) - and I have to remove the integration - re-add it - and then it’s fine - until the next time.
Anybody got any suggestions as to whats causing this ?
HA shows this -

I’ve had exactly the same today.
Removing the integration, and re adding it cured it for me.
It appears the authentication fails for some reason. Re-adding the integration resets the authentication.
Maybe the code could recognise the error InvalidAuth and retry with the original credentials if this keeps re-occuring.
I’ve switched away from this integration now and am having much better results with a script i’ve written to utilist pyglowmarkt… the shell script doesn’t do anything clever it just allows you to runt he job on a cron easily.
When the integration is working, my script gives exactly the same results… and of course any issues with the data just not being available to glowmarkt cannot be overcome… BUT the authentication issue i seemed to be experiencing is gone as the script authenticates every time it pulls the data.

Looking at the code, it does try to re authenticate. However the code calls Glow.handle_failed_auth, but the call is incorrect as is not a instantiated instance of the class. Hence the error about the missing hass parameter.
Not quite sure of how the fix this yet, maybe @HandyHat will have a view.
Perhaps handle_failed_auth should be a class method? Or does it need to operate on an instantiated object?
In case anyone’s mqtt data has stopped in the last hour it seems like there is a dos attack on the glow broker and has been turned off overnight , see here

In situations like this then - do the people with the actual Glow IHD still keep getting data then (since the MQTT description seems to suggest that data is pulled directly from the IHD itself)… Or am i just deluded there?
I’m currently using @HandyHat integration. My data stopped coming through this evening, I guess because of the DOS attack mentioned above.
I notice that the sensors are setup for “usage today” so in a morning the dashboard would show a huge negative spike because the usage goes down to zero. I had just been fiddling in Node-RED to make it into an always increasing sensor that never resets, then all my data stopped coming in!
How is everyone else using this integration when it resets daily?
I have the IHD and my MQTT feed stopped hence I checked their forum and posted the update.
All my data started flowing again at around 2am. I’m not using the IHD. It’s a shame that the IHD MQTT feed also stops when there’s an external issue.
I didn’t have to do anything with the integration to get data back, it just started flowing whilst I was asleep.
I’m just using the HandyHat DCC integration but I get no negative spike at all, it just works…
.
I’m not doing anything ‘special’ other than this in my config so that gas is of a ‘type’ that HA will accept:-
#Useable Gas Measurement
template:
sensor:
- name: Gas Consumption
unit_of_measurement: 'm³'
state: "{{ states('sensor.gas_consumption_today') | float * 3.6 / 40 / 1.02264 }}"
icon: 'mdi:fire'
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: gas
So I’m not sure what you’re doing to get a negative reading anywhere.
Oh, that’s interesting I don’t understand how that could work! Are your sensors ones that reset each morning?
When I used those I got data like this:
Somehow pumping gas back into the network haha. So I’ve wrapped it up so it’s an always increasing value instead of resetting each morning.
Hi All
Im picking this one after giving up trying to get it working and hoping that its moved along and now works. Can anyone point me in the direction of the latest code and install instructions… When I try now ot install the integration it errors with a number of issues around content of the files I had previously uploaded ot config folders etc , so I am guessing all of this as changed.
Appreciate any help please
Thank you Andy
Quick update , I found the original github and downloaded the files and copied them into the config folder. Deleted the integration and restarted. Re installed the integration and logged into my account. It still fails but this time the error says
“Couldn’t find any CAD devices (e.g. Glow Stick)”
Any ideas how to fix that ? do I need to buy the IHD from Bright ? Confused
