Scrape issues - UNKNOWN state returned

[s_greenie1122 (Steven Green)]

I’m having issues with a scrape sensor returning a state value of variable in a web page. I think I have the configuration.yaml file entered correctly.

scrape:

• resource: http://10.0.180.100:8080/control_app.html
  sensor:
  name: Screen state
  select: “body”
  attribute: data-state

keep getting “unknown” state returned. I can curl the URL from SHH so it’s contacting the page ok I think?

First check if the data-state attribute is there in the original HTML — use View Source in the browser rather than DevTools.

If it’s not, have a look through the resources listed under DevTools Network screen and see if any of those has the data you’re looking for.
