SpaceX Next Launch / Starman Integration

Keep me posted - not sure why it would affect any of that, but if there are negative results will be very interested!

Automation is working perfect now for 4 hours. Was at home so was able to try the sensors and automation many times. Now install the integration again and see what happen.

poudenes · September 1, 2020, 3:59pm

After install it again. Everything seems work correct now

Your component is working great.

Is there a way that the format of the date and time could be changed or configured? I live in Germany and it would be great if the date could be in the correct format and the time could have 24h.

Or could the UTC launch date be added as an attribute? That way I could create template sensors for that like I had for the rest sensors.

For now I’ve changed the format for the date and time in the sensor.by but that isn’t really great.

I just noticed that a new device for the component is added after every reboot of HA.
But only the first device has all the entities. The other ones are empty.

Great idea - will ad the UTC launch date and the Unix launch date to the next version as attributes.

djtimca · September 1, 2020, 5:29pm

Yeesh! Don’t know why I didn’t catch that one! Will have to do a bit of digging, but will release a new version once I squash that.

djtimca · September 1, 2020, 5:58pm

OK - I have pushed an update which adds the UTC and UNIX as attributes on the launch date and removes the device registry since it is being duplicated - not really necessary for this integration anyway so figured this was just as easy.

You will want to:

Uninstall the integration from Configuration -> Integrations
Install the update through HACS (or manually)
Do a cache-clearing refresh in Chrome (Ctrl+F5)
Reboot Home Assistant
Reinstall the integration in Configuration -> Integrations

Please let me know if this meets the need!

If you installed through HACS you may need to click the three dots and click Update Information to force it to check for an update.

GaryK · September 1, 2020, 6:02pm

How frequently does SpaceX update the values?

djtimca · September 1, 2020, 6:04pm

Usually every time there is a change / after a launch. I’ve noted that they haven’t updated since the launch Sunday though. Out of character… normally is more up to date.

GaryK · September 1, 2020, 6:07pm

Thank you. This will help me keep track of what’s going on.

dennis84de · September 1, 2020, 6:25pm

Thanks for the quick response.

I’ve updated the component and added it again. The UTC and UNIX dates are now available and on the integrations page there are only the entities listed.

Thank you very much.

Updated by request to include the latest launch information in sensors as well. For some inspiration on how to use this data (and an enhance main card which includes a link to the Video Link to watch a launch from the mission patch, here is a Lovelace layout for it:

cards:
  - content: >-
      <table ><tr><td> <a href="{{
      states.sensor.spacex_next_launch_mission.attributes.video_link }}">{% if
      states.sensor.spacex_next_launch_mission.attributes.mission_patch != "" %}
        <img src="{{states.sensor.spacex_next_launch_mission.attributes.mission_patch}}" width=250 title="Watch Launch">
      {% endif %}</a></td> <td>{{
      states.sensor.spacex_next_launch_mission.attributes.details }}
      </tr></table>

Nice !!! Updated, use new card part seems very nice!
Maybe you can do something with those errors:

Those are actually already fixed. Please check for an update in HACS community for the integration. You may need to click the three dots and select Update Information if it doesn’t already show update available.

If you installed manually you willl need to update the files in your custom component manually as well from the GitHub repository.

poudenes · September 4, 2020, 10:43am

I have the 004 version. After that I post this…

djtimca · September 4, 2020, 10:58am

Something wrong then on your system. Maybe uninstall it and reinstall. The error you posted was fixed in 003 (doesn’t appear on my system) and the line numbers in the error don’t line up to 004 either.

poudenes · September 4, 2020, 11:01am

Will try it later. Have to go work now!

exiledyorkie · September 4, 2020, 8:41pm

hello, not sure what is going wrong here but when I look for the repository on HACS, nothing appears. Any idea what is going on there?
