i made with your file and a little help an dutch version with a little more information.
https://github.com/huizebruin/Home-Assistant-Config/blob/main/sensors/ambee-nl.yaml

@huizebruin: Great! Thanks for sharing! Didn't know about the secret usage.

Thank you for this. Works perfectly! And I've extended it to pick up the air quality data from the Ambee API also, in the obvious way. This is all useful to have in a Home Assistant dashboard when the home in question has asthma sufferers in it.

This would be great to turn into a proper hass integration, but that's beyond my knowledge currently.

@steverumsby great! Feel free to fork it and add your extended version! A hass integration is on my list - but I don't have free time for this now.

i made a update for it.

Hi,
I'm getting this error in the server log "homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state encountered for entity ID: sensor.ambee_pollen. State max length is 255 characters."

I suspect it's probably an error message being returned by Ambee, but I cant see what is being returned.

I've changed the Lat & Long .
I've added the API and can see the number of API calls going up on Ambee with every server restart.

I don't believe theres's anything wrong with the template section, as they are being created but the "State" is empty

Heres my config:

• platform: rest
  resource: https://api.ambeedata.com/latest/pollen/by-lat-lng?lat=...&lng=...
  name: "Ambee Pollen"
  scan_interval: 3600
  headers:
  content-type: "application/json"
  x-api-key: "API has been added"
  json_attributes_path: "$.data.['Risk']"
  json_attributes:

  • tree_pollen
  • grass_pollen
  • weed_pollen

• platform: template
  sensors:
  ambee_pollen_tree:
  icon_template: "mdi:tree-outline"
  friendly_name: "Tree"
  value_template: >-
  {% set state = state_attr('sensor.ambee_pollen', 'tree_pollen') %}
  ambee_pollen_weed:
  icon_template: "mdi:nature"
  friendly_name: "Weed"
  value_template: >-
  {% set state = state_attr('sensor.ambee_pollen', 'weed_pollen') %}
  ambee_pollen_grass:
  icon_template: "mdi:grass"
  friendly_name: "Grass"
  value_template: >-
  {% set state = state_attr('sensor.ambee_pollen', 'grass_pollen') %}

  icon_template: "mdi:clock"
  friendly_name: "Last update"
  device_class: timestamp
  value_template:
  "{{ state_attr('sensor.ambee.pollen', 'updatedAt') }}"

Thanks

@godfreym29 can you please paste the code via the "insert code" button :)

Thanks michilehr

Heres the offending code
I'm using a include_dir_merge_list as you suggested in your blog

### Ambee Pollen Count

I've been updated it to get a lot more options.
I passed it on GitHub as well.
It's hase Dutch names. And information as well in dutch.

@godfreym29 you didn't output anything in your state.

Check out if this works

@michilehr I've tried your suggestion but I'm still getting the same error in the log
File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/core.py", line 906, in init raise InvalidStateError(
homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state encountered for entity ID: sensor.ambee_pollen. State max length is 255 characters.

@godfreym29 it is now integrated in Home Assistant

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/07/07/release-20217/#new-integrations

Hiiiiii! Can I ask if you know how to get this data in JS? For example, I would like to get the count of grass pollen like this
const grass_num = data.Count.grass_pollen But I am having errors and I don't know how to deal with it 😭
{ "message": "success", "lat": 35.23373019999984, "lng": 129.07596150000015, "data": [ { "Count": { "grass_pollen": 46, "tree_pollen": 25, "weed_pollen": 18 }, "Risk": { "grass_pollen": "Moderate", "tree_pollen": "Low", "weed_pollen": "Low" }, "updatedAt": "2022-06-08T10:06:36.000Z" } ] }
Thank you for your time! Hope you will answer

@suyenish like this?

let res = '{ "message": "success", "lat": 35.23373019999984, "lng": 129.07596150000015, "data": [ { "Count": { "grass_pollen": 46, "tree_pollen": 25, "weed_pollen": 18 }, "Risk": { "grass_pollen": "Moderate", "tree_pollen": "Low", "weed_pollen": "Low" }, "updatedAt": "2022-06-08T10:06:36.000Z" } ] }';

let json = JSON.parse(res);

console.log('your data: ' + json.data[0].Count.grass_pollen);
