Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I previously had it working but had to reinstall.
This is probably not a specific issue with this library as I've seen this issue pop up elsewhere but you might want to try to update your distutils and setuptools. I don't know if that will fix it but it might be a start.
@DoctorOctagonapus Did you make any headway with this?
Hey, I was never able to get it working and the distutils/setuptools were up-to-date at the time. Not tried it since as my HomeAssistant instance was able to pick up and query the sensor with no issues. Will try again tonight.
just for case somebody will google this topic like me.
This problem is usually caused by broken permissions in /lib/python2.7/site-packages, root cause is usually usage of combination of distribution and pip setuptools.
The fix is to delete all setuptools directories in system PYTHONPATH (could be /lib/python2.7/site-packages ) and reinstall python-setuptools or whatever is the name of package in your distro.
