Missing data - ZAMG platform or sensor

Configuration
1

The new ZAMG component in version 0.40 displays an “unknown” state and temperature: null. Some attributes are also missing. Look at the picture for the output of ZAMG component:

My configuration, if I use the component:

- platform: zamg
  station_id: 11101
  name: Wetter

The same is happening for ZAMG sensor. It looks like:

My configuration for the ZAMG sensor:

- platform: zamg
  station_id: 11101
  monitored_conditions:
    - temperature
    - humidity
    - wind_speed
    - wind_bearing
    - sun_last_hour
    - precipitation
    - dew_point

It seems that the component ist getting its data from http://www.zamg.ac.at/ogd/. But, if I check the csv file, which is requested, the component or/and sensor may have a problem with special characters (e.g. º for degree) in the header row. All attributes with a special character in the header are missing.

Could that be or am I doing something wrong?

Update: In the meantime, I have reported an issue (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/6573).

No you did nothing wrong. Somebody was overly eager and removed a line of code that had a purpose and didn’t test his change. Here’s the patch if you want to have it working right now, otherwise we’ll have to wait for the pull request to go through.

Thank you very much. This works.
