HydroQuébec sensor broken in 0.40

Configuration
1

After 0.4 update, I get this error:

17-03-12 11:28:56 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [sensor.hydroquebec]: required key not provided @ data['contract']. Got None. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.hydroquebec/

I guess I’m missing the “contract” key, but documention doesn’t specify what is required.

The doc update seems to be merged but not seeing the update on the site side. May have been an oversight.

Here’s a link to the PR showing the change:

Looks like your contract number is now a requirement.

Hello,

I added the contract number. Now, it does not give an error but returns only one variable “period_mean_daily_bill”, all others are missing. Log shows:

That’s about all I can help with as I don’t use this - I’m stuck in the land of the alternate reality president… US.

Sorry.

I have the same issue ;(

well, it started to work again a few days ago, before 0.45 update. I did nothing on my own.

I had the same problem in the past after each restart, but normally after few hours the fields were loaded correctly.
Seems to be caused by a request timeout. I think it is set to 15 seconds.
