HI,
anyone else experiencing this:

2018-04-30 20:18:59 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [custom_components.sensor.jsonrest] Error fetching data: <PreparedRequest [GET]>
2018-04-30 20:18:59 ERROR (SyncWorker_9) [custom_components.sensor.jsonrest] Error fetching data: <PreparedRequest [GET]>
2018-04-30 20:18:59 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [custom_components.sensor.jsonrest] Unable to fetch REST data
2018-04-30 20:18:59 ERROR (SyncWorker_9) [custom_components.sensor.jsonrest] Unable to fetch REST data

cant find it anymore, but is this component still necessary or does the builtin rest sensor read the json now?

Need it for some solar panel readouts, in this form:

- platform: jsonrest
  resource: !secret se_inventory_resource
  method: GET
  name: SolarEdge Inventory
  scan_interval: 3600

and templating:

solaredge_inventory_name:
  friendly_name: Name
  value_template: '{{states.sensor.solaredge_inventory.attributes.Inventory.inverters[0].name}}'
solaredge_inventory_manufacturer:
  friendly_name: Mnf
  value_template: '{{states.sensor.solaredge_inventory.attributes.Inventory.inverters[0].manufacturer}}'
solaredge_inventory_model:
  friendly_name: Model
  value_template: '{{states.sensor.solaredge_inventory.attributes.Inventory.inverters[0].model}}'

etc etc
