You can force an automation to run. Or you can run the update script directly.
Unfortunately no luck. The sensor is still not showing up after 10:05.
I do now show this in the log

I do appreciate your continued response.
Looks like it could be the same issue Iām having. Are you seeing anything in the logs about setting up the REST component?
This is the only reference to REST in my logs. And Iām not even sure what it is referring to.
No module named āhomeassistant.components.rest.cameraā
There are still a lot of these errors because I have not figured out the boolean yet:
2021-04-02 11:51:12 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation] Error evaluating condition in āCardinals - Game On - With Lightsā:

Itās hard to tell what your issue is from the details provided. If it happens to be the same problem as mine, you can try the workaround here:
Iāve got this running, and on my dashboard (Go Sox!) but it doesnāt seem to update unless I manually run the āUpdate Red Sox game infoā script or āBoston - In Progressā automation. I am seeing this error in my logs which started after adding the sensors. Any ideas?

Invalid config for [automation]: must be a value between 0 and 59 for dictionary value @ data['seconds']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 19).
Iām wondering if it is because the Cardinals arenāt playing today, so it isnāt in the API, therefore wonāt return anything.
I guess Iāll wait until tomorrow and see what happens.
That error seems pretty specific. Take a look at the trigger for your automation in yaml mode (according to that error, it should be on line 19), and make sure you have a valid number.
Alternatively, if you post your code, I can take a look.
That would do it. If there are no games on a given day, the sensors will have no value. In that case, an empty Lovelace card is expected.
Line 19 in configuration.yaml is āgroup: !include groups.yamlā so I donāt think thatās it (that file is currently empty)
The code I used is the one you used in your original post without any modifications at all.
Take a look at the triggers for the āpre-gameā and āunavailableā automation. I think those are the only two in that file that have a āsecondsā trigger. Maybe something was missed or dropped during copy / paste.
That might have done it. Those two werenāt loading correctly into the UI because they were /60 and it wants 1-59. I changed it to /59 and that loaded those two automations and appears to be working. Iāll know for sure with tomorrowās game.
Makes sense. I think there was a change to that functionality in Home Assistant with one of the releases since I posted this.
Sorry for the confusion.
Ok, so the game started but itās kept at 0-0 even though the score is now 2-1. I manually ran the automation āBoston - Game Onā and it updated the score.

Iāve created a helper thatās an on off toggle input to see if that helps.
Edit: That solved it. Working now and updating.
Thought, any way to grab the inning?
Glad to hear you got it working.
It doesnāt look like inning is returned via the API endpoint, but there is a ālive feedā endpoint that may have it. You can find the URL for that within the message response you are already getting back from the endpoint you have.
Iām still fairly new to HA and usually the one asking questions, so feels good to hopefully maybe help out for once!
I got the inning to work, using the method BigBlackBear referenced. Itās just set to pull the game info of the current game and look up the half inning and inning # variables, and join them with a space so it reads as āBottom 8ā, for example.

I also created a sensor to pull in the game start time, if that may be of use. Note: Iāve calculated the time to show as Central time, so you may need to adjust the math for the value_template to match your time zone (CST was - 5).
atlanta_game_time:
value_template: >-
{% if states('sensor.atlanta_game_status') == 'unknown' %}
No_Game
{% else %}
{% set time = states.sensor.atlanta_game_status.attributes["dates"][0]["games"][0]["gameDate"] %}
{% if (time[11:13]|int - 5) > 12 %}
{{ (time[11:13]|int - 5 - 12)|string ~ time[13:16] }}
{% else %}

Anyone get this too? Iām too newbie to fix the code 
I think I got doubleheaders working!
I donāt know anything about json so I donāt know if Iām using the correct terms, but all I ended up doing was just making new sensors and changed the index to games[1] instead of games[0] in the rest sensor.
Then I just created additional sensors for the 2nd game and changed games[0] to games[1] in the new sensors and added new automations/ triggers to just with another entity name for the second game double header. So now I have the scores from both games showing up.
I did this after last nightās Yankees doubleheader (btw, not sorry for sweeping the Red Sox 
yesterday) so I couldnāt see it live, but I do have the scores from game 2 as well!
Any way someone can walk me through where to copy and paste this awesome api:( I have no programming background but am hungry to learn!
No programming background should be needed. I tried my best to spell out the steps in detail. The code for the REST sensors (Ubuntu Pastebin) should be pasted in your configuration.yaml file. The script and automations (Ubuntu Pastebin) should be pasted into your scripts.yaml and automations.yaml files respectively. And to show the details in your dashboard, you can paste the code from my original post into a new manual card.
I hope that gives you what you were looking for.
