I have trakt.tv VIP account that has an RSS feed. I have a trakt component as well that doesn’t require a VIP account, but doesn’t provide as much information, unfortunately

42

thanks, I was hoping its the sonarr’s calendar rss feed lol

43

There’s a sonar upcoming media component already: https://github.com/custom-components/sensor.sonarr_upcoming_media

44

Yes, thanks. After I replied to you I did a quick search and found it.
thanks again

I’m thinking about extending this or create a specialized one that will feed into the upcoming media card

46

Does this work on Hassio lovelace?

47

I can’t think of any component that doesn’t work with all installations of home assistant, this one is no exception.

I’m trying to get this espn rss feed up and running http://www.espn.com/espn/rss/news. I’ve been mostly successful except the images from the feed are not being pulled into the sensor. I see there is a reference in the thread to the images not being pulled so I assume this wasn’t fixed? I have no inclusions or exclusions selected so it should be returning everything.

This is an example of what is being pulled for one story. The images are included in the rss feed but don’t appear in the sensor.

Yeah, it appears to be something upstream with feedparser. I haven’t put in much effort into debugging it beyond that. If you setup a log statement on the parsedFeed here

https://github.com/custom-components/sensor.feedparser/blob/master/custom_components/feedparser/sensor.py#L63

You’ll see that none of the image fields are preserved. I believe that is because image is not in the RSS spec and not listed in the feedparser docs https://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/reference.html

51

I found this in the documentation. I assume it’s not what is needed?

https://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/reference-feed-image.html

52

Add that log and you’ll see that the feed image is parsed, but you’re trying to get the enities image.

53

Ah. I understand now. I was hoping to create a page inside of home assistant that has all the feeds I like to read in one place with the images. This gets me mostly there. Thanks for answering.

54

Yeah, not sure why it is so strict

55

I see there is some reference in prior posts to changing the scan interval of the sensor. If I wanted to make it every 10 minutes would Exactly should I change?

56

Look at this line

SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(minutes=10)

57

Thanks for this, i am using it with my local Fuel Watch to get the fuel prices in my area

I am new too using RSS feeds like this but on my way to work this morning i was checking the website for fuel prices and thought ‘i wonder if i can just put this in to homeassistant’ and sure enough you have solved my problem :smiley:

If anybody was wondering how to find what things they can add under inclusions just open your RSS feed in a web browser and look for the things in “<>” like etc
I thought that might help as i was wondering the same thing at first
Thanks again

Thanks! Would you be cool with updating the Readme on the repo with a PR with some details on what you think is the easiest way to find inclusions?

@krakupkiwi, I would like to know how you did this too

Do you have an account with fuelwatch, using a third party supply or are you using a public login?

edit: do you usse an RSS call something like: https://www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/fuelwatch/fuelWatchRSS?Product=1&Suburb=Duncraig

sharing your config would be very helpful!
