Sensor not updating

[smarg120]

Hi, first of all great integration! really useful...

but i might be doing something wrong as it does not seem to get updated data. Its stuck on the data from yesterday and does not update....in the logs i see it goes to IEC api which replies back with stall data....but if i login via website and call the same api (i also called it in postman to make sure), i do get an updated data.

anyone experienced this? thanks!

update:

i also downloaded and installed the rest api python package and tested it - it works as expected and brings updated data from the IEC API....however the HA component does not get updated and in the log i see HTTP responses from IEC with outdated data.....what the heck

ok, i think i found it ...its a bug with HA component that assumes contract id is an int.....however my current contract id, after i moved to a different company, has a leading zeros....my original contract id was X, but my current contract id is 000X.....so when switching to int, the leading zeros are lost and the request for incorrect contract id is sent

also every hour i keep seeing this:

2024-10-15 16:53:16.707 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.iec.coordinator] Last statistics are from 2024-09-12 20:00:00

i thought maybe its some db corruption.....so i deleted LTS for those iec meters from the database...and now it does the same loop but for 17/9....

024-10-15 20:12:17.409 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.iec.coordinator] Last statistics are from 2024-09-17 20:00:00

it stuck on this hour and it keeps reporting the same data for that hour again and again, so that bar at 9PM just keeps growing...

[smarg120]

ok, I figured it out finally. my ha box had TZ configured to utc. once I configured it to IL timezone the integration started to record statistics for new days!

thanks for your patience

Interesting.

Being "stuck" on that date is since it tries to fetch from that time and this is the last hour it has information about.

I'll try to look into why the TZ causes this loop. Thank you for your patience and sharing the data.

[smarg120]

Yeah, now it populates perfectly.
I didnt had patience to wait for it to catchup, just reloaded the integration multiple times and last month is populated.

Now I can monitor my consumption usage, thank you!
