Unofficial Whistle 3 API consumer

This is a very basic library to query Whistle.app's API for Whistle 3 devices. It is also compatible with all new devices.

The API is not published, so it may break eventually (although compatibility has not broken in several years)

In the examples/homeassistant folder you will find a custom component to integrate this information in your dashboard.

Available information for each pet, including dailies:

• Activity goal, in minutes
• Activity streak
• Activity, in minutes
• Rest time, in minutes
• Distance walked
• Calories
• Battery level
• Battery wifi usage
• Battery cell usage
• Battery days left

To use the library itself in your project:

pip install pywhistle

You can specify it in requirements.txt as well:

pywhistle==0.0.4

Updating "Safe Space"

Any chance you'll figure out how to update the "Safe Place" and perhaps provide a service to a Home Assistant instance?

Use case: We travel a lot with our dog, and would like to update the address of our WiFi hotspot to match reality.

Platform error device_tracker.whistle

When I try to validate my configuration I get

Platform error device_tracker.whistle - Integration 'whistle' not found.
Invalid config for [sensor]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 21).

device_tracker.py and the adjacent files are in ~/config/custom_components/whistle

I installed all of the pip packages required for device_tracker.py to not complain when I run it for the command line. Maybe that wasn't needed?

I added this to my configuration.yaml:

device_tracker:
  - platform: whistle
    username: !secret whistle_username
    password: !secret whistle_password
    monitored_variables:
      - WHISTLE

What am I missing?

Permission Denied (publickey)

when I use the git command I Have the following error.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository

Can't get this to work with Home Assistant

I've spend a few hours trying to get this installed. There are a few conflicting install methods which I'm sure have changed over time..
I'd love to do the home assistant integration - but I can't seem to get the library/sensor to be recognized.

Is there a current install guide or maybe some info on what the directory structure should look like after install?
I can't get the sensor to show up in states..
Thanks for the help if you can..

Does the device tracker / GPS still update?

Sensors (activity, sleep, etc) are all working but it doesnt seem to be pulling in actual location data anymore.

Whistle Warning No 'version' key

I am getting the following warning that indicates that this will no longer work unless fixed in the near future. I am running 2021.4

WARNING:
No 'version' key in the manifest file for custom integration 'whistle'. As of Home Assistant 2021.6, this integration will no longer be loaded. Please report this to the maintainer of 'whistle'

I just installed this and it works great. Would be terriific if you could update this.

whistle $

one thing to note, i already have the life360 integration installed (not custom) and noticed that also falls under device_tracker. it is not in the configuration.yaml file but must be listed somewhere. Would this cause the issue if HA already has device_tracker defined for a supported integration? ??

I don't see anything in the logs except when i add the piece to the configuration.yaml
device_tracker:

• platform: whistle
  username: !secret whistle_username
  password: !secret whistle_password
  monitored_variables:
  • WHISTLE

i save the config and "check configuration" then gives me that error msg. if i try to reboot, that is when i see the same error msg in the log file. and it won't let me reboot as it says config check fails.

just looking for any help. would love to have this working but tried as many things as i can think of.

thx
