Trying to connect Home Assistant to Ovo API

I understand that the Ovo API is not intended for non-Ovo use, and any use is not supported by Ovo.  However, the Home Assistant Ovo integration looks useful, so I thought I’d try it.

The integration has loaded in HA, but fails to initialize, claiming an issue with the JSON returned by the API.  I suspect that I’m hitting a security lockout that HA is trying to treat as JSON and therefore not understanding.

Does anyone know if the HA integration does still work? Is there anything I need to configure to get it to initialise?

Thanks!

Hey @callingsimon ,

Just posting as myself, but you should probably ask on GitHub at https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/new/choose for this one, OR https://github.com/timmo001/ovoenergy
