Outdoor illuminance estimated from weather conditions

Yes, change:

    @property
    def should_poll(self):
        # For the system (i.e., EntityPlatform) to configure itself to
        # periodically call our async_update method any call to this method
        # during initializaton must return True. After that, for WU we'll
        # always poll, and for others we'll only need to poll during the ramp
        # up and down periods around sunrise and sunset, and then once more
        # when period is done to make sure ramping is completed.
        if not self._init_complete or self._using_wu:
            return True
        changing = 0 < self.sun_factor(dt_util.now()) < 1
        if changing:
            self._was_changing = True
            return True
        if self._was_changing:
            self._was_changing = False
            return True
        return False

to:

    @property
    def should_poll(self):
        return True

    @property
    def force_update(self):
        return True

Awesome, thanks! I just went ahead and changed the script, I’ll let you know if I see anything weird or not working properly.

As has been discussed, starting with HA 0.86, the folder layout in custom_components has changed. I’ve recently updated the installation instructions. custom_components.json (which is used by Custom Updater) has also been updated to be compatible with the new layout.

If you are installing this custom platform for the first time:

Then just follow the recently updated installation instructions

If you do not use Custom Updater, and are updating HA from before 0.86 to 0.86 or later:

Then you need to manually move/rename the file. The following Linux commands (or similar) should make the necessary changes:

# From config folder
cd custom_components
sudo -u homeassistant mkdir illuminance
sudo -u homeassistant mv sensor/illuminance.py illuminance/sensor.py

If you use Custom Updater, and are on a version of HA before 0.86:

Then you’ll need to update the following line in your configuration for custom_updater. Change:

  component_urls:
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnbruckner/homeassistant-config/master/custom_components.json

to:

  component_urls:
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnbruckner/homeassistant-config/master/custom_components_old.json

Once you update to HA 0.86 or later you should change it back.

If you use Custom Updater, and are on HA 0.86 or later:

Then you should be good to go. Just use the Custom Updater to install and/or update.

Note: You may need to clean up the old files after you install/update, if you care.

If anyone is wondering how to install this, the instructions are here . https://github.com/pnbruckner/homeassistant-config/blob/master/docs/custom_updater.md

telecomguy · March 7, 2019, 1:49am

Not sure if anyone else has upgraded to 0.89, but I did tonight and I’m getting this error:

I rolled back to 0.88.2 and everything was fine, so not sure what happened with YR.

123 · March 7, 2019, 1:56am

You’re using a custom component. There’s a documented Breaking Change for custom components.

pnbruckner · March 7, 2019, 2:05am

D’oh! I’ll try to fix that soon. Yet another ramification of the Great Migration.

EDIT: Hmm, this time it actually wasn’t the great migration. It was renaming CONF_ATTRIBUTION in sensor.yr to ATTRIBUTION, just like they did back in the 0.85 release with the Dark Sky Sensor.

telecomguy · March 7, 2019, 2:07am

Yeah, I’ve already changed the file structure, I have other custom components that are working fine, including @pnbruckner’s Life360 component. So I don’t think it’s that.

telecomguy · March 7, 2019, 2:10am

No worries man, was just hoping it wasn’t me. lol. Thanks for the great work you put into these components.

elRadix · March 7, 2019, 9:18am

got the same error

SeLLeRoNe · March 7, 2019, 1:30pm

For latest release (just because I am not using it), it was required to disable the yr component integration

"""
from homeassistant.components.sensor.yr import (
    CONF_ATTRIBUTION as YRS_ATTRIBUTION)
"""

I was able to do that because I am using darksky.

This is the error in the logs I was facing:

pnbruckner · March 7, 2019, 2:41pm

For some reason they decided to rename CONF_ATTRIBUTION to ATTRIBUTION in PR #21069. Working on a fix.

pnbruckner · March 7, 2019, 3:09pm

Released 2.0.2

Fixes problem caused by Yr Sensor change in HA 0.89 release.

SeLLeRoNe · March 7, 2019, 3:20pm

Thank you very much!

telecomguy · March 7, 2019, 5:07pm

Just upgraded the component and then upgraded back to 0.89. No more errors. Thanks for the quick turnaround!

robertpe · April 4, 2019, 6:36pm

Can’t load the component due to problem with Dark Sky version 0.91

pnbruckner · April 4, 2019, 7:09pm

Yep. The Great Migration strikes again. Luckily that’s now done.

See Issue #127, including a workaround until I can release a new version.

pnbruckner · April 19, 2019, 6:32pm

Released 2.0.5

Apparently HA 0.92 will require all custom components to have a manifest.json file. And the custom updater requires the component to have an __init__.py file to load other files. This release should work with 0.92 and the latest custom updater.

NOTE: Because of the reorganization, it’s possible the custom updater may not be able to simply update the component. You may need to install it again using the custom_updater.install service. You may want to get the latest version before updating to 0.92.

pnbruckner · June 17, 2019, 8:32pm

Released 2.1.0 in new HACS-compliant repo.

bbrendon · June 18, 2019, 1:12am

@pnbruckner you might want to edit your first post. Some of the links in it are broken since there have been changes.
