Stumped on troubleshooting after an update to plugin

I recently updated from a pre 1.1 version to the most current version, and got the following errors:
Code: Select all
Thingspeak Error                time data '2018-03-01T19:52:15+00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'
Thingspeak Error                'int' object has no attribute 'get'


I disabled each device and reconfigured (via settings); I also tried updating channel info, but enabling a device still resulted in the same errors. I'm not sure precisely what steps to take next to troubleshoot this problem, apologies if I have missed something obvious.

Re: Stumped on troubleshooting after an update to plugin

You haven't missed anything and I'm getting those errors too. It seems that ThingSpeak have updated the format of the timestamp they return and the standard datetime Python module can't handle the change very well (it has to do with timezones and the date/time information being naive or aware). What's odd is that the format of the data has been changing so sometimes the errors come through and sometimes they don't. No matter--I've now transitioned the plugin to use a different date/time module (dateutil) which is more robust with such things and am testing the change now. I'll be rolling out a new version of the plugin very soon (perhaps as soon as tonight).

That's tonight GMT-6:00. :D

Re: Stumped on troubleshooting after an update to plugin

I've posted an update to the plugin that should address the time zone error. Please let me know it that's not the case.

Thanks for such a quick turnaround (and I'm relieved it wasn't me doing something dumb). I'll update to the latest version tonight and let you know how it goes.

No error messages since the update. Thanks for all your amazing plugins, and your patient and prompt assistance when folks run in to trouble. As my kids like to say "you da real MVP".
