Hi there, another Aucklander using HA in his home.
As an IT guy I might have pushed it a bit to far though

My system includes these and some more core integrations

AAP Elite ESL-2 with ESL-2 APP POD
Zehnder Ventilation System
Centurion D5-Evo Gate Controller
AlphaESS Solar System
WeatherFlow Tempest weather station
whole house uses KNX and DALI to control blinds and lights

Started work on an Elite ESL-2 Keypad interface using esphome based on code found here and going through AAP docs. check Issue 5

Don’t have a lot of time though so we will see how it goes.

Hi All, using the Met Service integration, anyone not seeing “Rainfall” entity like me?

Forecast in HA:

Forcast on NZ Met Service website:

bjm · October 31, 2024, 2:07am

Same, maybe its a bug and if rainfall is zero then it foesnt show ?

Greminn · October 31, 2024, 3:03am

Yea I had thought that as well, but it’s not even listed in the weather.metservice entity. But there is a precipitation_unit strangely enough.

robfish · October 31, 2024, 3:16am

Mine has 21 entities but no “rainfall”

Greminn · November 6, 2024, 1:41am

Hi All, note update to the Met Service integration today ticking off a number of GitHub issues.

Hey all I just thought I would do a shout out for frigate if others are still using blueiris for their cctv. I moved to frigate a few months ago now and the HA integration etc is far better and frigate is all round a better simpler product. All runs as a HA pluggin so if you have not looked give it a go. Happy to help with migration questions as have been through them all.

bjm · November 16, 2024, 8:03pm

Yeah, i used blueirus a while ago until i found frigate, mynonly issue is struggling to use my NAS as storage device though

nickrout · November 16, 2024, 8:11pm

Please stick to NZ topics here.

bjm · November 18, 2024, 12:37am

Hey, anyone having issues with the MetService service today?

Greminn · November 18, 2024, 12:50am

Yep. Ive submitted a issue to GitHub here FYI.

2024-11-18 13:49:29.441 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.metservice_weather.coordinator] Data validation error: unexpected character: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Metservice is working fine here. Odd.

bjm · November 19, 2024, 9:37am

Im on v0.7.0

robfish · November 19, 2024, 6:59pm

I too am on v0.7.0 with 21 entities.
20 show status as “unknown”
1 shows “no longer provided”

robfish · November 24, 2024, 1:17am

Surely Brent and I can’t be the only ones with MetService NZ custom integration not working?
Are there any other Kiwis (other than Nick) who still have it working?

nickrout · November 24, 2024, 3:14am

I spoke to soon. It is not working.

robfish · November 24, 2024, 3:28am

Upgraded to V7 again
