Please help me solve my scraping problem.

[Knowix]

Hey guys,

First of all, thank you for creating this integration!

I run into a small problem where the scraping runs into an error. From the log I see that the problem is that the Nyitra utca is not found. However, it's in the log as an available street. I also checked the fkf_bp_hu site and it also recognise the street.

SO what am I doing wrong?

File "/config/custom_components/waste_collection_schedule/waste_collection_schedule/source/fkf_bp_hu.py", line 87, in fetch
raise Exception("Street not found, available streets: " + available_streets)
Exception: Street not found, available streets: Ábrahám Géza utca, Ady Endre utca ..... Nyitra utca and the rest.

In my configuration.yaml file I have the following:

# Waste Collection Schedule Configuration
waste_collection_schedule:
  sources:
    - name: fkf_bp_hu
      args:
        district: 1204
        street: "Nyitra utca"
        house_number: 10
      customize:
        - type: "Kommunális"
          alias: "Kuka"
    - name: fkf_bp_hu
      args:
        district: 1204
        street: "Nyitra Utca"
        house_number: 10
      customize:
        - type: "Szelektív"
          alias: "Szelektív"
          
sensor:
  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Kommunális
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")}}'
    types:
      - Kommunális
  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Szelektív
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")}}'
    types:
      - Szelektív

your first street needs to be all capitalized (like your second one)

But I do not get why you're using twice the same source you can use multiple customize statements in one source. If you want a dedicated calendar you can do this as well:

waste_collection_schedule:
  sources:
    - name: fkf_bp_hu
      args:
        district: 1204
        street: "Nyitra utca"
        house_number: 10
      customize:
        - type: "Kommunális"
          alias: "Kuka"
        - type: "Szelektív"
          alias: "Szelektív"
          use_dedicated_calendar: true

Thanks a lot!

I managed to get the Selective type running and got the right date. However, the Communal type remained unknown. Also, I tried to restart Home Assistant and now everything is gone again..

I'm trying to bring it to life but for some reason, the date is not shown properly. I created an Identity card into my dashboard and added sensor.selective & sensor.communal but these are only showing unknown value.

Sorry for bothering you but I'd appreciate the help! @5ila5

providing an alias renames the type. You then need to use the new name in the sensor config:

# Waste Collection Schedule Configuration
waste_collection_schedule:
    sources:
    - name: fkf_bp_hu
      args:
        district: 1204
        street: Nyitra utca
        house_number: 10
      customize:
        - type: "Communal"
          alias: "Kommunális"
        - type: "Selective"
          alias: "Szelektív"
          use_dedicated_calendar: true
          
sensor:
  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Kommunális
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")}}'
    types:
      - Kommunális
  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Szelektív
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")}}'
    types:
      - Szelektív

Works like a charm! Thank you for helping me out!

For a sensor can I use two different value_template? Or should I create a new sensor for it?

I want to add the days to the way of showcasing the date.

A sensor has one value_taemplate which defines what's the value of the sensor you can use multiple variables and text in there (more information about homeassistant templating) (available variables for waste_collection_schedule sensor)

for automation purposes it might be useful to have dedicated sensors for different information for displaying it might be helpful to have one information rich sensor
