Heres the HTML. If I input this into a HTML editor, I can see that the Battery percentage actually says “No Battery”, but on the live page it does have a percentage.
div.container-fluid > div.row-fluid > div.span12 > div.row-fluid.dash-statistics > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(1) > h4
gives me this:
If I change h4 for title.text-success, I get Unknown.
try this
div > div > div > div.row-fluid.dash-statistics > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(2) > h4
That outputs the Lifetime Energy Value
i think i have it
#content > div > div > div > div.row-fluid.dash-statistics > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(1) h4#battery-charge
That outputs “No Battery”. I added a “>” before the h4 and also get “No Battery”. This seems to be a tricky selector.
but no battery is if there is no battery status…
for me it says no battery, but if i had the device it would of give me the battery lvl with that selector
try this, its indeed tricky
div > div > div > div.row-fluid.dash-statistics > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(1) > h4
That gives me “No Battery”
I have basically a toddler level understanding of CSS, but in the HTML “No Battery” is in h4 class title text primary, and in the Elements tab the Percentage is in title text-success, so if I used title.text-success it should give me the percentage right? It’s weird that it is coming up unknown whenever I use title.text-success
i think you have an weird problem, the data u sended me contains everything except the battery lvl in the html file.
Yeah that’s what I noticed, for some strange reason in the HTML the Battery Level shows as No Battery.
look here, when i manually put the percentage of the battery, the last selector i sended you should work
maybe try restarting that device that provides the data, as here i can scrape that 96%
Yeah I’ve never actually reset the Generac system, I’ll restart it and see if that helps. Thank you so much for bearing with me.
no problems at all, just let me know, i’m glad to help

As of release v5.7.0, Multiscrape could also be used as an improved REST component. It now supports JSON in the value_templates, enabling you with the same syntax as the RESTful sensors but added to all the extras of Multiscrape. E.g. form-submit, entity pictures, icon templates, etc.!
