Rest sensor issue

Configuration
1

Started getting an error:

2022-11-10 08:27:14.607 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Package covidsensors setup failed. Integration rest cannot be merged. Expected a dict. (See /config/packages/covidsensors.yaml:0).

This seems to be a result of this

Adjust rest schema validation.

This is the yaml code

rest:
  - scan_interval: 3600
    resource: https://worldometer.herokuapp.com/api/coronavirus/world/
    timeout: 60
    sensor:
      - name: Coronavirus Active Cases World
        value_template: '{{ value_json.data["Active Cases"] }}'
        unit_of_measurement: people 
        json_attributes:
          - data
      - name: Coronavirus Recovered Cases World
        value_template: '{{ value_json.data["Total Recovered"] }}'
        unit_of_measurement: people 
      - name: Coronavirus Confirmed Cases World
        value_template: '{{ value_json.data["Total Cases"] }}'
        unit_of_measurement: people 
      - name: Coronavirus Deaths World
        value_template: '{{ value_json.data["Total Deaths"] }}'
        unit_of_measurement: people

Why is this failing and how do fix it?

Same here, just decided to do a restart due to a small change to an unrelated entity.

Changed to 2022.11.2 last evening, so first restart since upgrade. Related ???

Yeah first restart for me too. I ended up restarting the container as a normal restart failed. Turns out there is an issue and a PR to fix this. There was a PR in 2022.11.2 that broke it. Just need to wait for the fix to be merged.

Hi!
My rest sensors (based on a utility-meter) also broke.
hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Do you have any reference to the issue that is causing this issue and needs to be fixed, please

(I’m really glad I found your post as I could just not see how to code up a rest: sensor with out getting the “Component rest cannot be merged. Expected a dict”
I’d like to track when its fixed and I can return to this work)

Fix is merged so should be in 2022.11.3 I think

Thankyou David
I’m 2022.11.2 so will await 2022.11.3 with interest. I do hope Rest: works as I hope as I’m doing something fairly complex with PUT, Bearer tokens and refresh intervals (as required by the API supplier)

2022.11.3 has been released

I count four fixes related to REST
I’d list them here but it’s too hard from an iPad.

Has anyone been able to test 2022.11.3
Does it fix the REST: sensor definition issues?
(I’m away and can’t do anything with HA till I get home, sorry)
