## Describe the bug
The whole integration as a whole seems to not be working as it seems that the api is not returning the data in the format that the integration needs.

What version of HA are you running?

[rainepretorius]

What version of HA are you running?

2025.1.4

[swartjean]

Seems to be working fine for me on 2025.1.4. Could have been a one-off issue on ESP's side, but I should probably check and log it more gracefully anyway.

Could you try and reinstall the integration?

[rainepretorius]

I will give it a try with a reinstall. The issue started a few months ago, but never realky was an issue with the loadshedding suspended till this past weekend.Kind Regards,Raine Pretorius -------- Original message --------From: Jean Swart ***@***.***> Date: 2025/02/04 00:15 (GMT+02:00) To: swartjean/ha-eskom-loadshedding ***@***.***> Cc: Raine Pretorius ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [swartjean/ha-eskom-loadshedding] Unable to load data from the api (Issue #46) Seems to be working fine for me on 2025.1.4.

Hi @swartjean ,

I trued it multiple times, tried to get debug logs multiple times, but the integration now can not even be set up anymore.

I have the same issue. I can't get past the Please enter the name of your area, suburb, or municipality: step. O see this in the log:

This is after I uninstalled the integration, removed it completely, restarted HA, downloaded a fresh copy via HACS, restarted HA and added the integration again.

I'm on the latest version of HA and downloaded the newest verion of the integration from HACS.

Thank you

Hi @rainepretorius and @949BFN, thanks for the info.

I have just run a test and unfortunately I still can't replicate this on a fresh install of HA 2025.2.5. There is a possibility that it is an issue specific to the area that you are trying to set up.

@949BFN if this error is repeatable could you please share what you type into the Please enter the name of your area, suburb, or municipality step?

@rainepretorius do you see the same error as @949BFN in your logs? If so, please could you also share the area that you are attempting to configure?

[rainepretorius]

I get no errors at all from the integration. It just says an unknown error has occurred when I type in my area.

I have tried the following:
Potchefstroom
Roodepoort
Kloofendal
Florida
Roodekrans

None of the above work.

I changed the LoadSheddingAreaSensor to this and now it works fine. It seems it could not find the area name in the info dictionary.

@property
    def extra_state_attributes(self):
        # Gather data from coordinator
        events = self.coordinator.data.get("area_information", {}).get("events", {})
        info = self.coordinator.data.get("area_information", {}).get("info", {})

        currently_loadshedding = False

        if events:
            # Determine whether the area is currently loadshedding
            time_format = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z"
            next_event_start = datetime.strptime(events[0]["start"], time_format)
            next_event_end = datetime.strptime(events[0]["end"], time_format)
            current_time = datetime.now(next_event_start.tzinfo)
            currently_loadshedding = next_event_start <= current_time <= next_event_end

        return {
            "Area": "", #info["name"]
            "Region": info["region"],
            "Currently Loadshedding": currently_loadshedding,
        }
