Do you have multiple np sensors? Can you turn on debug logging and post the log if it happens again?

[jpeltoniemi]

I had the same issue. I have 2 sensors - one in EUR for automations and one in cents for displaying in a chart. The first one became unavailable today and I fixed it by reloading the integration. I have no other information for now.

[Hellowlol]

Please provide logs

I've had debug logging on for a week now but haven't seen much details in the logs. Here are a couple of repeating errors

2023-04-02 11:34:05.589 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Platform nordpool does not generate unique IDs. ID nordpool_kwh_fi_eur_3_10_01 already exists - ignoring sensor.nordpool_kwh_fi_eur_3_10_01

I had the same problem yesterday and today. I solved it by rebooting my system completely, and I got price information for today and tomorrow.

[jpeltoniemi]

@shadowano Reloading the integration should also have the same effect.

[Hellowlol]

@jpeltoniemi can you provide the logs related to the nordpool integration? I need the debug log not only the errors. A key error is easy to fix, but it should never had been set to None in the frist place. I need to see what the logs for when that happens

[jpeltoniemi]

@Hellowlol sorry, the lines I posted were literally the only ones that mention nordpool (excluding duplicates). I removed the second integration and adjusted my automations to use cents, and haven't seen any issues since then. The heating in my house is partially tied to electricity price, so I'm not too eager to break it again.

It shouldn't be hard to replicate though. These are the exact settings I changed when I set up my 2 integrations:
Region: Finland
Currency: EUR
Decimal rounding: 2
Price in cents: true for one and false for the other.

You should see the integrations fail, i.e. prices not getting updated, in 24 hours.

Closing this since I have not experienced it since upgrading to v0.0.13. Will try to provide debug logs next time. Thank you!

[Hellowlol]

Thank you!
