Recent versions of HomeAssistant break GEM support

[dvl]

Hello,

I had GEM integrated into Home Assistant (HA) and had my energy usage plotting. Recent upgrades to HA broke that. Today I found this Home Assistant issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/94211

In short, it seems the fix is to migrate from the HA integration to this one: https://github.com/jkeljo/hacs-greeneye-monitor

My initial attempts at migration have failed because I can't get that integration loaded into HA.

My post has two purposes:

* Let the GEM community know this may well hit you soon
* find out if anyone has already gone done this path and has some notes they wish to share. I'll document the import process and feed it upstream to the project

Thank you.

I finally got around to installing HA OS on my new box and I would like to get my GEM integrated. I went ahead and installed HACS and added the hacs GEM integration, this part was pretty straightforward with no hiccups...but I have no idea what to do after that lol. I am guessing I need to first set up some stuff on the GEM/Dashbox side for sharing and then come back to the HA side to continue integrating it, but no idea where to start. Nothing really stands out when I open the integration in HACs. If you have any tips after you get yours fixed I'd love to hear them

I fixed the Greeneye Monitor breakage caused by a Home Assistant upgrade to Python 3.11 - there is a new better module with a much better UI.

Sorry, that part I don't know - in my case, my existing data was converted over and just worked. I imagine the configuration will be similar to what I did. I can't look into that right now, but I'd start with their webpage and raise an issue if it's not documented.

Now that I think about it, I think they set it up with conversion in mind. I'm also guessing they have a way to configure from scratch.

Is there nothing at /config/integrations/integration/greeneye_monitor which helps you?

Sounds like opening an issue at https://github.com/jkeljo/hacs-greeneye-monitor might be a good idea. If you do, please let me know and I'll follow it.

I went the same route. Works very well, much better than the core integration. I had some issues with the old configuration not being read but somehow I did get it to work.
