Installed 4.1.5, all seems to be working great.

Two observations:

1. In INFO logging mode can an extra line be added to the logging to indicate when the sensor update has completed successfully as currently you can see that the logging starts but not ends:

Probably just needs a Debug message reclassifying as Info type

2. state_class comment made on 4.1.4 (but seen first on 4.1.3) v4.1.4 pre-release #150 (reply in thread)

Like thusly? Good idea.

INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.solcast_solar] Service call: update_forecasts
INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.solcast_solar.solcastapi] Getting forecast update for Solcast site b68d-c05a-c2b3-2cf9
INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.solcast_solar.solcastapi] Getting forecast update for Solcast site 83d5-ab72-2a9a-2397
INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.solcast_solar.solcastapi] Forecast update completed successfully

What would be the impact of the change? LTS for these sensors would probably go AWOL, which I don't care about, but do others?

1. thanks

2. dunno what it would do to LTS. Only one way to find out, set it up on a test rig and see how Home Assistant handles it.

There may be different results for those sensors that don't currently have a class and for those that I propose the class is wrong.

v4.1.6 "latest" is published, so closing this discussion.

Only one way to find out, set it up on a test rig and see how Home Assistant handles it.

On the "to do" list, @gcoan.
