Searching for somebody who can build me an hacs integration

Development

I’m searching for somebody who can help me build (or just build) an integration.

I’m a python developer myself but I cannot seem to find time to build this.

I can spare a few bucks for this, but it’s a fully non-profit environmental project so please do not expect muchos money :slight_smile:

It has to do with using less energy.

Please get in touch. (English and Dutch are possible)

The integration (component) has to call an API and it gets back 1 or 2 days of info (2 days when the data is there)

You just send a body to the API like
{“kind”: “g”, “country”: “NL”, “ha”: true}
and you will get back a JSON with 1 or 2 days and 24 hours per day.

The json has some fields per day/hour and I want to be able to calculate 1 field with or data from the API itself or data defined in configuration.yaml from the user.

The configuration.yaml overruled the data it calculates with.

So I would like to show an hourly Lovelace overview and an barchart overview.

Maybe, you can share more information about the technical details, so you could get it faster

Yeah at the moment this is like asking for help with a medical problem, but not specifying whether you have a sore toe or are having a heart attack.

Added some more info

Added some more info. (no sore toe or heart attack :slight_smile: )

Instead of writing a custom component, you can also use RESTful Sensor? It would allow you to make periodic calls and process the result.

Okay, sounds like a plan. But how do I calculate the correct values.

Let’s say the sensor gives me back the current windmill and solar panel yield prediction. I want the total yield + 10% because I live in a sunny place

So how do I do a (wind+solar)*1.1

Thank you!

it is called templating in home assistant, you can create a new sensor based on another sensor using templating.

Okay, never done templating before. I’ll look into this.

But still :slight_smile: a HACS component doing this all for you would be great

10

it might be overkill, maybe?

11

I’t might.

The main problem stays however… time.

Now I have to find out how to do this with integrating a rest sensor and build a template.

Benefit of open sourcing and having a community, you can do it once and sacrifice yourself and share here the process. Life would be much more easier for next person :slight_smile:

Try telling us where the api is and someone will probably do it.
