Lego,
Any update on this component.
I have a TX60 sensor on my hot tub and would love to get this working
Hi Legomaniac,
With the HA 108 update, this component no longer continues past the errors you call out in your first post here. It fails to load the sensors now. The only error in the logs is the error Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved for the ambient sensor. Not know python very well, I attempted to modify the code to ignore the exceptions using a try and except: pass but it didnât make any difference. Iâm going to continue to look into the errors, but if you could help, thatâd be much appreciated!
I managed to create a workaround for HA 108 and for the 3 exception errors you receive at boot. I split each sensor into itâs own custom component and added each separately to my sensors.yaml. Itâs not ideal, but itâs working without errors. Maybe that will help point you in the right direction for the over all component. My (uneducated) guess is that it has something to do with nested classes being called in the wrong order⌠maybe. Below is part of the code for an individual sensor that I chopped up from your code.
def setup_platform(hass, config, add_devices, discovery_info=None):
"""Setup the lacrosse alerts mobile platform."""
from deps.pylacrossapi import lacrosse as lacrosse
device_id = config.get(CONF_ID)
unit_measure = 0
time_zone = 10
lacrosse_device = lacrosse(device_id, unit_measure, time_zone)
add_devices([LaCrosseAmbientSensor(lacrosse_device)])
class LaCrosseAmbientSensor(Entity):
"""Representation of a LaCrosse Alerts Mobile Sensor."""
def __init__(self, lacrosse_device):

self._lacrosse_device = lacrosse_device
self._state = None

return 'Outside Ambient'
@property

I got this working for 2 of my TX60âs, using the edit above by @Hassiopeia - thanks for this!!
Iâm not great at python but Iâm looking forward to troubleshooting this over the holidays - I have a bunch of these temperature sensors and would love to integrate them all, including each TX60âs probe, ambient temp and humidity values.
For others, this is what I had to do:
- Edit the manifest.json and add the ârequirementsâ line:
{
"domain": "lacrosse_alerts_mobile",
"name": "lacrosse_alerts_mobile",
"version": "1.0",
"documentation": "https://github.com/regulad/hass_lacrosse_alerts_mobile",
"dependencies": [],
"requirements": ["pylacrossapi==0.3"],
"codeowners": ["Legomaniac", "regulad"]
}
2: Edit the sensor.py:

- Add these lines to configuration.yaml. I have 3 sensors (hottub air and water sensor (ambient and probe), cottage air temp (ambient only), and pumphouse air temp (ambient and a probe that goes down into the water line trench). Two of these sensors report the probe temperature!)
sensor:
- platform: lacrosse_alerts_mobile
id: !secret lacrosse_id_pumphouse
- platform: lacrosse_alerts_mobile
id: !secret lacrosse_id_cottage
- platform: lacrosse_alerts_mobile
id: !secret lacrosse_id_hottub
- I couldnât figure out how to change from TEMP_FAHRENHEIT to Celsius, so I added some templates to my configuration.yaml to convert from F to C
- sensor:
- name: "Lacrosse - PumpHouse Temp"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: >
{% set tempF = states('sensor.lacrosse_ambient_temp') | float %}
{{ (5/9 * (tempF - 32)) | round(1, default=0) }}
- name: "Lacrosse - PumpHouse Probe Temp"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: >
{% set tempF = states('sensor.lacrosse_probe_temp') | float %}
{{ (5/9 * (tempF - 32)) | round(1, default=0) }}
- sensor:
- name: "Lacrosse - Old Cottage Temp"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: >
{% set tempF = states('sensor.lacrosse_ambient_temp_2') | float %}
{{ (5/9 * (tempF - 32)) | round(1, default=0) }}
- sensor:
- name: "Lacrosse - Hot Tub Temp"
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
state: >
{% set hottub_C = states('sensor.lacrosse_probe_temp_3') | float %}
{{ (5/9 * (hottub_C - 32)) | round(1, default=0) }}
- Add your serial numbers to secrets.yaml:
lacrosse_id_pumphouse: 0000000000000000
lacrosse_id_cottage: 1111111111111111
lacrosse_id_hottub: 2222222222222222
Hopefully I havenât forgotten anything, it was a lot of trial and error and relying on and learning from all the work of those done before me! These edits to NOT grab the humidity sensor, but it shouldnât be hard to do that. I just had to make separate calls in order for the ambient sensor and the probe sensor to finally work. They show up in Homeassistant with very generic names though - youâll need to rename them to something meaninigful.
This is EXTREMELY ugly, but its doing what I want for now. Would love anyone with proper python experience to fix this up.
Many, many thanks again to @legomaniac and @Hassiopeia for all the information.
Thank you @gravymaker for the work you continue to do with these sensors and the step by step process you laid out above!
I followed your process (simplified as I only have one thermometer) but when I check my configuration I get the following error:
Here is my very simple yaml file:

Iâm sure Iâm missing something simple - any thoughts?
Might be a typo when you edited the sensors.py file? The error seems related to HA having trouble importing the custom_component. I think your configuration.yaml is ok.
I had some initial problems when downloading the files from github - are all the files in the lacrosse_mobile_alerts subdirectory you created in the custom_components directory readable / look ok?
I was able to get it working after gaining a bit more experience! 
Thereâs a typo in the sensor.py file youâve pasted - line 25 should be removed (the line that reads âLaCrosseProbeSensor(lacrosse_device), LaCrosseHumidSensor(lacrosse_device)])â)
After deleting that line it was smooth sailing.
Thanks again for helping to keep some of these older sensors working.

NVM Got it to show up in HA. Will start testing now.
I know this is very old, but I was able to get this working, up until the last HA update. Now Im getting this. Anyone can help ?

Any help guys ? Im assuming this is due to Python Version deprecation
