Describe the issue

After updating to 1.6.2. this noon, every utilitymeter (daily, monthly, ...) from all daily_fixed_energy sensors are not available anymore.

Here only one example

  - platform: powercalc
    name: Fritz Repeater
    unique_id: unique_id_powercalc_fritz_repeater
    daily_fixed_energy:
      value: 15
      unit_of_measurement: W

This is related to the bug I reported a couple of hours ago and it is not related to 1.6.3. I restored my night backup, in which I had 1.6.2 version of powercalc and they were already unavilable.

[emufan]

Yes, double-checked in returning back to old version and it is happening already with 1.6.2. With 1.6.1 it is o.k. again.

[bramstroker]

Hi guys, I'm sorry to hear you have problems since 1.6.1.
Thanks for reporting, when you have any additional logs in the errors please include.
I'm very busy this week, hopefully it's a small issue and can find some time to fix.

[emufan]

Here unfortunately nothing in the logs, but didn't switched to debug mode. Now I'm back to working 1.6.1, so that I not miss that much values until then.

If you cannot see, which 1.6.2 change could belong to this case here (only happening for daily_fixed_energy as far as I saw, I can ofc update again and make some fast checks, before going back to 1.6.1.

[vahaldor]

Folks, how can I roll back the version? I am trying the feature redownload in HACS, when I open the powercalc integration and checking 1.6.1 but it does not show me later what version I have installed. Could you please point me? I tried this but the sensors are still unavailable

[emufan]

Open HACS, click on Integration, click on Powercalc and then in three-dot-menu, thrid option, here in German

[vahaldor]

ok, it was the proper procedure. I am currently running 1.6.1 but my energy sensors are still unavailable. I am not sure that it is necessarily related to the powercalc version. Even the HA core has been rolling out some energy related updates and I updated to 1.6.3 from something older because I found my sensors unavailable.

[emufan]

As this/my issue is only about utility meters on daily_fixed_energy sensors, can you perhaps proceed in "your error issue". Even if it could be related, it is not the same I reported here. ;-)

[bramstroker]

@emufan there was a small change regarding creation of daily_fixed_energy sensors which might be releated to your issue #1679
Could you please enable debug logs and see if that gives some clues?
search for Fritz Repeater and you'll see log lines where the energy sensor is created, and should be followed by creation of utility meters.

are completely missing here with 1.6.2 for this type of powercalc sensors.

[bramstroker]

Thanks for providing this information. Will try to reproduce.

[bramstroker]

I have found the issue. Was indeed a regression in 1.6.2.
Will be fixed with #1686
Also added an extra automated test to make sure this stays working.

[emufan]

Just wanted to post this as perhaps potential cause source change related to this error.

And during update, your fix was already there. Excellend.

[bramstroker]

Yes that was the cause indeed. Was to enthousiastic cleaning up some code ;-)

[bramstroker]

New version 1.6.4 released with a fix.
Could you verify things are resolved for you now?
Thanks for reporting and the help in debugging this issue.

[emufan]

Can confirm. Updated to 1.6.4. The utility meters are still (or again, depending from the pov) there. Thanks for the quick fix.
