I just installed the component via HACS, rebooted HA, but I can't understand how to configure it. Can't find any new entity ecc. What do I have to do to insert url and apy? Thank you

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hello. I am new to Healthchecks.io, but really like the service. I had manually implemented a very similar (but harder to maintain) solution in Home Assistant using Webhooks and Select entities, but I think that Healthchecks is a more elegant and scalable solution. So, I spun up a self-hosted Docker container and plugged in my scheduled job (which currently run alongside the Webhooks I made already).

I am confused how to integrate data from Healthchecks.io into Home Assistant (version 2022.3.1), if it is possible to do so. Based on the image in the README, I expected to connect the server from Home Assistant and get information for each of my healthchecks. I have installed this integration (version 22.2.0) into HACS and added an instance of it using my API key, which succeeds (my server is self-hosted). However, I end up with an Integration that has no Devices or Entities. It looks like HA will ping my healthchecks per the ID I provide.

Maybe I am confused about what this Integration provides, or it provides different information for web-users vs. self-hosters? The README does not actually describe what this Integration does, or what information/functionality is provided.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like this (or another) Integration to connect to a Healthchecks server from Home Assistant (using the API key, maybe even the read-only one). I would then like some Devices and/or Entities to be provided, with connectivity status (maybe Unknown, Up-to-Date, Grace Period, and Delinquent), the time of the last successful ping, and the time of the last state change.

Either way, if this Integration is not intended to provide that ability, I think it would be helpful to clearly identify exactly what it can do/provide in the README.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have created a similar but cruder solution using Webhooks in Home Assistant. This required manually creating an Input Select and an Input Datetime entity for each healthcheck/job, and a few automations to inspect for out-of-date tasks.

Additional context
Thank you for your help.

Healthchecks.io can be selfhosted. See the docker image here. I would like to see the ability to point to my hosted url.

could add healtchcheck logo in home assistant tags.

Currently the integration is without an icon:

On the "healthchecks.io" webpage, I can configure:
Period 5 minutes
(The expected time between pings)
Grace Time 15 minutes
(When a check is late, how long to wait to send an alert)

This custom component should also allow configuration of those items

Describe the bug

New checks added to my instance are not added or showing up in Home Assistant

Expectation

When new checks are added, the Entities in Home Assistant are (albeit delayed) updated with the new checks added.

Home Assistant Version:
Core 2024.2.2
Supervisor 2024.02.0
Operating System 11.5
Frontend 20240207.1

Integration Version: 22.2.0

The sensor has a disclaimer: "This entity is no longer being provided by the healthchecksio integration. If the entity is no longer in use, delete it in settings."

The integration was added to HACS, than configured from the integration screen.
After initial configuration, everything works fine, ping is successfully received each 5 minutes.
But after the restart, the sensor permanently switches to unavailable state and don't come back, unless the integration is deleted, reinstalled and reconfigured.

What's very odd, is that I don't see anything in logs related to this integration

I'm also on a pretty fresh Home Assistant installation, in fact so fresh, that I never edited configurations.yaml directly.

Here you can unmistakably determine when HA was rebooted and when the integration was reinstalled

Thanks for great component, any plans to release new version to use #8 ?

After installation of latest version from HACS (22.2.0), when trying to configure the integration for the first time, it times out with an error without showing any configuration options.

Describe the bug

The sensors often report "Disconnected" state and come back 5 minutes later. They seem to skip a ping. However, there's no skipped ping or grace period.

Here's a comparison between this manual config (with 300 seconds for update interval) and this integration:

Maybe the timeout set to 10 seconds is a little bit too small from time to time.

Still, I don't get why the result would be different from HA vs others. It's mainly concerning HA in my case.

Debug log

I enabled debug logging in the integration but I did not see anything relevant.

Hi, noticed this in my logs recently

HealthChecks.io Version: 0.1.3 (latest)
HASS.io latest version (0.110.2)
HACS store latest version (1.0.3)

Unsure what the bug means, HealthChecks.io system appears to be reporting correctly.

Integration hasn't been working since upgrading to OS9.0 from 8.5

Currently the throttle is 5 minutes. Add option to control the therotteling.

When I add the Health Checks IO integration through HACs and configure it everything works great but when I restart my home-assistant instance it throws an error. I'm assuming the issue is because of the slow starts so everything isn't initialized but because the error is caught and it will still try and set up the binary_sensor.

I took a look at the code and from what I can tell the error is happening in __init__.py line 87 so self.hass.data[DOMAIN_DATA]["data"] is never being initialized which means the binary sensor blows up later on when the data property is not there to loop through.

After adding HealthchecksIO via the HACS integrations area, there is no ability to edit the settings from the UI, like the readme describes.

Are you supposed to add a new entity/device? The instructions are very unclear.

Currently the only way to configure is via UI. Will be helpful to have also the YAML configuration.

Add service to allow send ping manually (e.g., can be use when home assistant starts)

When i moved to HomeAssistant Blue i cant find the "Healthchecks.io" integration in home assistant
I have installed from hacs and restarted many times.
I get no errors but i dont have "Healthchecks.io" to chose in integrations.
It still appears in my old instant on my intel nuc.

Debug log

I've set up the plugin from HACS and the first ping works correctly. Any subsequence ping never reached their server.

Here are the logs I've found from home-assistant.log

2021-01-13 16:53:55 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.healthchecksio] Could not update data -

EDIT: I was able to repro this on the previous and current version of this integration

I am running

• Home Assistant 2023.3.3
• Supervisor 2023.03.1
• Operating System 9.5
• Frontend 20230309.0 - latest

I added the custom component via HACS and then added it via the integration. I get one successful ping after I restart HA, but none afterwards. I also cannot find any binary sensors matching the description.

Describe the bug

The sensors report "Disconnected" every time it is in "Started" state as described in healthchecks docs:
https://healthchecks.sandtner.cc/docs/measuring_script_run_time/

I think this is related to #37.

Edit:
It seems more complicated, than I thought.

Home Assistant shows only Disconnected, when running for more than 5 minutes.
Where should I look next to identify the problem?

when I go to the integration UI and select healthchecks.io from the list I get the following error in the logs:

Debug log

The integration does not recover when the initial setup fails.

Unfortunately, I was not able to generate more helpful information than this log output:

ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.healthchecksio] Could not update data -

Which seems to come from here:
https://github.com/custom-components/healthchecksio/blob/main/custom_components/healthchecksio/__init__.py#L118

On my Raspberry Pi 3 with HASSOS it fails to initialize the Integration about every second time and I have not yet been able to identify the problem. It seems that a simple retry should help but I'm not sure how I could force it to do so. I've even added a job that updates the sensory every 2 minutes.

Describe the bug

healthchecks.io organizes checks in projects. Projects each have their own API keys and Check ID. In order to add all my projects I tried to add the integration multiple times so I can provide the Check ID and API Key for each of my projects. But when I try to add another integration it says "Only a single configuration of Blueprint is allowed".

I can only add one of my projects to Home Assistant.
