Could you add an update service to be called with automation at specific times?

[deltamelter]

GB-30 is great addition. Currently I have to manually reload the service or wait for the next refresh.
GB-60 updates same time every day (09:30 BST) and GB-30 updates at 15:45, so would be nice to just add those times in an automation to force refresh.

Here is an example where I use automation to force refresh a solcast service at a specific time

fixed by #55

Note: This will be available with release 2.1.0

[deltamelter]

That's great, thanks. will take a look.

Choosing the correct device is not easy...

I wonder if there are options for changing the naming as it is currently quite confusing...

[deltamelter]

Maybe I misunderstood how this has been implemented, but the automation fired and did not update either service/device

"Reload" on configure menu fetched the data instantly

[mampfes]

Oh, thanks. Please try the latest main branch. I added a fix, but wasn't able to test it so far.

@mampfes Seems not to be fixed - at least not with the version 2.1.0 via HACS. Reloading the configuration updates instant.

Yes, works well. I put 2 times on this time, first one (15:45:00) was too early, the next (15:45:45) updated all the graphs and data instantly like when pressing reload under "Configure".
Thanks

@mampfes This seems to have stopped working again. Is there anything I can debug?
Can you think of any reason this would just stop working?

[mampfes]

Did you check the log? Is your trigger still active?

[deltamelter]

nothing in system log.
I logbook, shows the automation triggering only...
The trigger is active yes.
I have 2 different instances, one for original GB60, then added another for GB30. Don't know if this is the correct way to add both, but as shown in screenshot on October 25th.
I added both "services" and All devices, as follows:
The automation runs, and originally caused the the graphs, etc to update straight away but it stopped.
I run HA as a docker but haven't updated since september

Any update on this?

[deltamelter]

Haven't noticed not re-loading for a while but I haven't been watching at the time and logs are not capturing what happens.
I think you can close this and I'll come back with new issue if I encounter again.

Hello, Can you adopt Epex Spot also for the Netherlands?

[mampfes]

Hi, first: Please don't capture threads with different topics. Open a new discussion/issue instead.
Second (for futher discussion please open a new thread): There is a market area NL for the EPEX Spot Web Scraper and SMARTD.de. Do you need s.th. else?
