core: Tibber sensors do not update anymore

The problem

For the last 12h, Tibber Integration does not deliver certain sensor data through the API anymore. It is the most relevant and important data that is missing (e.g. current power, hour estimate, accumulated consumption) which makes it hard to use the data for load balancing or other automations. Some real-time data is available though (current L1, L3 for instance).

The API explorer on developer.tibber.com shows the data in real-time, so I assume the problem lies in the integration?

I have restarted the integration many times without any success (I usually do this when experiencing issues with inflowing data).

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2023.4.2

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

core-2023.4.2

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

tibber

Same here. As soon as I restart the integration I get data again.

I also have this problem, and it has been there for weeks now. There must be a fix for this really soon or ppl will stop using the Tibber integration and go for other solutions.

Here is mine:

    minutes: /5
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {# Grid power has not changed in 5 minutes #}

      {{ as_timestamp(now()) -
      as_timestamp(states.sensor.power_XXXX.last_updated) > 60*5
      }}
action:
  - service: homeassistant.reload_config_entry

In the graphical interface, you just have to choose your Tibber device as the target of the “reload config entry” service.

This worked for me until recently, but now I have to restart HA every now and then to “unstick” the Tibber sensors. I have not made a automation for that yet, because that seems a bit dangerous to run unattended.

I have had this problem for a long while now. I made an automation that reloads the integration if the values do not get updated in a set amount of time. This made everything workwable so far.

But for the past 2 days this no longer helped and no sensor updated anymore. Restarting the integration no longer helped. Only after restarting Home Assistant did things start working again. So I think there must be something going very wrong in the Integration and/or HA in general.

Also experiencing this. Reloading the integration makes the sensors come alive again. Any status update?

Same here. I think it all started when updating to Core 2023.4.5. I get exactly the same error in logfile as @le-clu Tried to restore backup from yesterday with Core 2023.4.4, but the integration does not connect to Tibber with this version either.

I have the same issue that the integration suddenly stops, but a reload fixes it. I have this in my logs:
