Smart Oil Gauge in Home Assistant

Web scraper for the Smart Oil Gauge to bring data into Home Assistant. This simple solution scrapes the Smart Oil Gauge website and sends a captured value via mqtt to a Home Assistant sensor. I run this on an Ubuntu server using cron to call the script each hour.

Dependencies

Home Assistant
mqtt server on Home Assistant
Python (and a couple of packages)
Smart Oil Gauge sensor
