THanks @yatik I can confirm that it now pulls in yesterday’s usage, great work!
Thanks for all this folks, really appreciate the work. Getting this in the log for starting the app.
I have just updated the script but i’m getting the following error:
2024-02-17 20:47:05.212075 INFO WaterUsage: Request Login

Any ideas?
If you are running on a raspberry pi / something slower / busy Home Assistant, then increase the time.sleep(x) → to something like 10-15 seconds.
Try logging into Anglian Water website, make sure there is a reading for yesterday (daily usage).
Also, you can change the execution time but Anglian water only seem to post updates for yesterday between 8-11pm.
Thank you @yatik. I’m using running in Promox on an i7 so resources are not an issue. which time.sleep do you recommend adjusting?
Increase them all by 2-3 seconds, it could be other factors… also check internet connection as all the script does is scrape the Website for data.
The other reason (weekend just gone 17-18 Feb), Anglian water were doing an upgrade.
Hi, so i can login and see details on the web site.
Readings are from 19th Feb to yesterday.
I was obviously a bit early for adding the integration.
When trying to add to the energy dashboard, i get the No Matching Statistics Found.
And un commenting the force_reading i get the image first posted about input_boolean.water_reading not found in namespace default.
If i comment it out again i get the nameError: name force_reading is not defined. If i comment the FORCED Callback section out, i have to comment out the self.listen_state as well.
but
This is what i get trying to add the water to Energy dashboard
also getting this in the logs

Ok, i appear to have it working.
When manually changing the time it runs to daytime for setting up.
curdt = (date.today() - timedelta(days=2)).strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
Also, i noticed when the sensor is created it is not always to sensor.water_usage_x as per the configuration file.
In my case it created the template (viewable under entities) as sensor.water_usage_3 which you need to put in the python file and helper. I was looking for _x and couldnt work out why it wasnt there.
The only issue i have now is statistics, but i guess i have to wait a few days or something.
I keep getting this message in the logs, anybody know how to get rid of the warning?

I have removed my old settings as could not get this working. Then I have re set it up with the new code as updated.
My logs keep showing the same error.

getwaterusage.py has my details that I can log in to anglian water with and “usage sensor=sensor.water_usage_x”
Any help with this would be appreciated as I have been going around in circles.
Probably uncomment the force_reading variable at the top of the script. (remove # in front of it)
Thank you, I had previously tried this with no luck so reverted back. Turns out the last time I logged in to Anglian Water’s website was before their change and I needed to agree to their terms. After that, all now working!
I have now got this working correctly for the Daily meter reading. I see some have tried to get it working hourly which i would like to try to. However, my knowledge on these integrations is not great.
Is this still working for anyone as i have trying for 3 days now and i just get an error stating it cant find the element “log in”
Ran into an issue running the script through appdaemon (even though it work the first time) but managed to resolve it so figured id post hear in case it can help others.

still have not managed to get the entity to be readable on the energy dashboard yet however but have not spent much time looking into the issue.
Very very early stages as I still need to understand how to register a device with Anglian Water, but:
Repo: GitHub - pantherale0/haanglianwater: Home Assistant integration for Anglian Water
Device ID is supposed to be a random 8 byte hex string, which for the most part works, however I need to be able to perform a registration request before the API will allow me to retrieve data from the usage endpoint.
EDIT: Device registration is working, leave the Device ID field blank when setting up the integration, it will also import historical usage into a statistic for you to use in the energy dashboard
