solcast entity nomenclature

[dbrb2]

This is a fantastic tool.
One thing I noticed, was that though I had the solcast integration installed, the entities created didn't have "solcast" in the entity names, so did not match the default config file. Easy to fix - I simply removed the bolt sections below.

I mention it only because the comments in that file suggest they won't need changing, so if it is a change in nomenclature by the solcast integration it might be good to know. Cheers either way!!

#Set these to match solcast sensor names (unlikely to need changing)

pv_forecast_today: sensor.**solcast_**forecast_today
pv_forecast_tomorrow: sensor.**solcast_**forecast_tomorrow
pv_forecast_d3: sensor.**solcast_**forecast_d3
pv_forecast_d4: sensor.**solcast_**forecast_d4

I notice the same and have changed the names in the yaml and all good now. Presume this is a change to the Solcast integration.

Are you using this plugin? https://github.com/oziee/ha-solcast-solar

[dbrb2]

I am, yes

How odd, I'm using the solecast integration and am not seeing this issue. I did install it 12 months ago though, so maybe on 'original' entity names if they have changed

The Solcast integration added the "solcast_" prefix back in June of last year, perhaps you're using an older version?

I'm running 3.0.47, which seems to be the latest - though I did install it last year, so maybe when it was updated it maintained the older names...

[tim-mawson]

You might be right there, perhaps that's it

I'm going to close this now, I did put a comment in the Readme saying it maybe different for some people
