RSS feedreader what do I miss

Configuration
1

I would like to have some newsfeed on my home screen, so I first added the sample configuration
https://home-assistant.io/components/feedreader/
Unfortunately, nothing shows up. Do I have to change more ?

Besides that : Is it possible to update the newsfeed more often than once in an hour ?

You will not get a newsfeed in the UI with this component. It only gives Home Assistant Events when there is a new item in the feed. You will need an automation to do something with this event. Check out the example in the docs.

Thank you for your quick reply. But what I want should be possible ? (some newsfeeds on the home screen)

Have you figured out how to get feedreader updated more often?

Interested too :frowning:

I also would like a simple feedreader in some lovelace-cards in my hassio :frowning:

I guess there isn’t some easy way to do this yet, only custom cards and components through hacs. bumping thread

just succeeded in using feedreader in a custom card. You mean you don’t want to use hacs ?

no I dont want to use it, but I managed to install the list-card and feedparser without it. Got it working also, but I cant get the description tag to show up. Only title works even tho I can see the description in the sensor

card:
  type: entities
type: 'custom:list-card'
entity: sensor.rss_engadget
title: Engadget
feed_attribute: entries
columns:
  - title: ''
    add_link: link
    field: title

I would want two columns like this, but the code below breaks it all, however if I insert image or title it shows 2 columns:

card:
  type: entities
type: 'custom:list-card'
entity: sensor.rss_aftonbladet
title: Aftonbladet
feed_attribute: entries
columns:
  - title: ''
    add_link: link
    field: title
  - title: 'info'
    field: description

mabye It’s because the sensor says “summary”? and feedarser doesnt look for that?

Used the feedparser without inclusions to fetch all data, it doesnt fetsh description when I use that inclusion

however the list-card doesnt recognize the “summary” either so I cant get it to show :frowning:

Hi all,
I’m trying to do basically the same (display 2 columns from rss feed) and for me the same issue occures as seen from Mattie.
Any Updates or fixes on that?

TIA & best,
Paul
