Thank you ... very helpful.

Have being using this for a while now - just recently it has stopped workign though - gettting error: "Error fetching data: http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/LoadShedding/GetStatus failed with [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer". Any ideas?

I've moved over to using this: https://github.com/swartjean/ha-eskom-loadshedding
There seems to be an issue with the API at the moment, also I have made an update to this snippet (changed to https seems to have helped)

Thanx - see that component also having challanges - but at least eventually gives a Stage response. Guess it is Eskom related
