Unable to prepare setup for platform 'rest.sensor'

Configuration
1

I’m trying to use rest to update data on PWS Weather. The update occurs, but I’m not getting my sensors back and it’s throwing errors in the log. I’ve searched and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong?

From Configuration.yaml

rest:
  resource_template: >
    {% set datetime = utcnow().timestamp() | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d+%H:%M:%S', local=false) %}
    {% set temperature_f = states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_temperature') | float * 9 / 5 + 32 %}
    {% set pressure_inhg = (state_attr('weather.kmoofall130', 'pressure') | float - 7) / 33.86 %}
    {% set solarRadiation_WM2 = states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_brightness') | float * 0.0079 %}

    https://pwsupdate.pwsweather.com/api/v1/submitwx?ID=xxx&PASSWORD=xxx&dateutc={{datetime}}&winddir={{states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_wind_direction')}}&windspeedmph={{states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_wind_speed')}}&tempf={{temperature_f}}&rainin={{states('sensor.hourly_rain')}}&dailyrainin={{states('sensor.daily_rain')}}&monthrainin={{states('sensor.monthly_rain')}}&yearrainin={{states('sensor.yearly_rain')}}&baromin={{pressure_inhg}}&humidity={{states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_humidity')}}&solarradiation={{solarRadiation_WM2}}&UV={{states('sensor.back_yard_atlas_uv_index')}}&softwaretype=SkipnyipHAv1&action=updateraw

  scan_interval: 54864000
  sensor:
    - name: "PWS Error Message"
      value_template: "{{ value_json.error }}"
  binary_sensor:
    - name: "PWS Success"
      value_template: "{{ value_json.success }}"

The message in the log says:

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:497

Last logged: 9:51:32 AM

Unable to prepare setup for platform 'rest.sensor': Unable to set up component.
Unable to prepare setup for platform 'rest.binary_sensor': Unable to set up component.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

What do you get if you paste the resource_template definition into Developer Tools / Template? Does it return a reasonable URL?

Hi skipnyip,
Did you set up the restful integration in HA and did you reload HA since it was set up? It looks like the integration is not there according to the error.

Sorry for the delayed response, I expected an email or something when I got a reply, but did not and then I forgot about this…

Yes, I get a valid URL back from the Developer Tools / Template.

I believe that’s what is being setup in Configuration.yaml? The data is getting posted to the URL as expected, but I don’t appear to be getting my error or success signals back (or if I am I don’t know how to view them as they don’t appear to show up in History when I look for “PWS Error Message”.
