Sensor based on REST doesnt work

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello,

first of all, im very happy to use home assistant, i switched from iobroker to openhab and now im finally here. Im trying to build my fronted and i want to see my ethereum mining stats.

So i try to build a custom sensor based on rest to get informations about my mining rig.
But it doesnt work, and i dont know how to find the problem, every sensor is unknown.

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.amd01_status:
      friendly_name: "AMD01"
      icon: mdi:ethereum

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: AMD01
    resource: https://api.minerstat.com/v2/stats/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXX
    value_template: "{{ value_json.info.status }}"
    json_attributes:
      - info
      - revenue
      - mining
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      info_status:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.info.status }}"
      info_uptime:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.info.uptime}}"
      revenue_day:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.revenue.usd_day }}"
      revenue_week:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.revenue.usd_week }}"
      revenue_month:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.revenue.usd_month }}"
      hashrate:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.mining.hashrate.hashrate }}"

group:
  amd01:
    name: AMD01
    entities:
      - sensor.info_status
      - sensor.info_uptime
      - sensor.revenue_day
      - sensor.revenue_week
      - sensor.revenue_month
      - sensor.hashrate

Post the results of your url

Of course, this is the sample result from minerstat:

   }
  }
 }
}

And this is my updated code, because i missed the main tag “AMD01”

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.amd01_status:
      friendly_name: "AMD01"
      icon: mdi:ethereum

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: AMD01
    resource: https://api.minerstat.com/v2/stats/XXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXxXX
    value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.info.status }}"
    json_attributes:
      - AMD01
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      info_status:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.info.status }}"
      info_uptime:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.info.uptime}}"
      revenue_day:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.revenue.usd_day }}"
      revenue_week:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.revenue.usd_week }}"
      revenue_month:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.revenue.usd_month }}"
      hashrate:
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.amd01_status.attributes.AMD01.mining.hashrate.hashrate }}"

group:
  amd01:
    name: AMD01
    entities:
      - sensor.info_status
      - sensor.info_uptime
      - sensor.revenue_day
      - sensor.revenue_week
      - sensor.revenue_month
      - sensor.hashrate

Edit: And is it possible to set an default value, if the API cannot be reached? I want to get rid of the message: “Entity is not available” in my frontend

This should be all you need following the rest integration

rest:
  - resource: https://api.minerstat.com/v2/stats/XXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXxXX
    sensor:
    - name: AMD01 Status
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.info.status }}"
    - name: AMD01 Uptime
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.info.uptime }}"
    - name: AMD01 Revenue Day
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.revenue.usd_day }}"
    - name: AMD01 Revenue Week
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.revenue.usd_week }}"
    - name: AMD01 Revenue Month
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.revenue.usd_month }}"
    - name: AMD01 Hashrate
      value_template: "{{ value_json.AMD01.mining.hashrate.hashrate }}"

However, there is some invalid json in what you posted:

So that could be causing your current setup to fail.
