Hello everyone! I’ve been working on integrating some scraped values into my energy dashboard, and I wanted to share my journey and findings with you. This could be helpful for anyone looking to do something similar or facing similar challenges.
So, here’s the setup: I’m trying to pull electricity prices from a website and display them in my energy dashboard. The goal is to have real-time pricing data that I can use for energy management. I’ve set up two sensors using the web_scraper integration, which seems to be working fine. The sensors are correctly scraping the values and converting them into euros. However, when I try to use these values in the energy dashboard, I run into some issues. The dashboard doesn’t seem to recognize the units properly, and I get errors related to unit conversion.
I’ve tried adding a value_template to convert the scraped values into floats, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in the configuration or if there’s a different approach I should take. Maybe the energy dashboard expects a specific format or unit type that I’m not accounting for.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully integrated scraped values into their energy dashboard or has dealt with similar unit conversion issues. Any tips, tricks, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Let’s collaborate to make this integration smoother for everyone.
Looking forward to your insights and experiences!
Best regards,
