Hi,

here is my config for rss, but it isn’t working.
Can someone point me to the right direction?

log:
logfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/appdaemon.log
errorfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/aderror.log
accessfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/access.log
logsize: 100000
log_generations: 5
appdaemon:
threads: 10
app_dir: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/
plugins:
HASS:
type: hass
ha_url: https://xxxxxxx.duckdns.org:8123
token: xxxxxxxxxxxx

hadashboard:
dash_url: http://192.168.178.5:5050
dash_dir: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/dashboards
rss_feeds:
feed: <![CDATA[CNN.com - RSS Channel - HP Hero]]>
target: aquarium
rss_update: 300

And the widget:

aquarium:
widget_type: rss
entity: aquarium
title: Status aquarium
interval: 10

Can you please post the config with the correct indentation as per below so we can spot any errors?

log:
  logfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/appdaemon.log
  errorfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/aderror.log
  accessfile: /home/homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/access.log

Still the same error: entity not found: rss.aquarium

I’ve restarted Appdaemon

And this one should also be

target: rss.aquarium

I’ve tried to copy all this many ways and indents - it’s still “entity not found: rss.aquarium”

#in appdaemon.yaml
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://Synology2:5050
  rss_feeds:
  - feed: http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss
#  - feed: http://feeds.nos.nl/nosnieuwsalgemeen
    target: rss.aquarium

#in tablet.dash
news:
    widget_type: rss
    entity: rss.aquarium
    interval: 5
    title: NOS Nieuws

I’m running this on Docker/Synology.
Am I missing anything? Thanks!

You are missing the rss_update in the appdaemon.yaml file, so try:

  rss_feeds:
  - feed: http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss
    target: rss.aquarium
  rss_update: 200

Yep, that was it. Thanks!
