Error handling

[Rhysgh]

Hey, I wanted to set a mobile notification when the integration fails, right now, I'm checking for one of the sensors on. That integration going to an unknown state, but I don’t like this method

In the log, there is this
Logger: huawei_solar.huawei_solar
Source: /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/huawei_solar/huawei_solar.py:277
First occurred: 06:50:06 (2 occurrences)
Last logged: 06:52:25
Modbus client is not connected to the inverter.
NoneType: None

Surly I can use a listener or something to trigger based on logs instead of sensor states.

Any tips?

I myself have the following Automation set if inverter throws an Error, unless inverter is unavailable.
Luckily former hasn't occurred and latter is rare.
Hope it helps!

Thanks, why are you using the increment counter?
