Describe the issue

Following using powercalc-measure on separate VM I move the created model.json and hs.csv.gz files to HA, placing them in a model folder (e.g. LED Strip Lights, Chromecast Audio) nested in a manufacturer folder (e.g. Tuya, Google) within powercalc-custom-models.

Once populated the Powercalc UI will show the newly created (if new) Manufacturer in the drop down when adding a light/sensor but the Model ID’s are not in the subsequent drop down, the drop down is blank (if the manufacturer is new) or populated only with the library devices (if manufacturer not new).

An existing manufacturer/model for a linear profile is already working in this folder tree.

Reproduction steps

1. Perform Measure
2. Connect to HA via SMB, navigate to folder tree, use PUT to copy model.json and hs.csv.gz

Please add the full directory / file tree which you have now under powercalc-custom-models directory.
Might help in reproducing / finding out why it's not working as expected.

Hey, please see below, let me know if you need anything else.

[core-ssh powercalc-custom-models]$ tree
.
├── Google inc
│   └── Chromecast `Audio
│       └── model.json
├── Tuya
│   └── Strip
│       ├── hs.csv.gz
│       └── model.json
└── innr
    └── RS 225
        └── model.json

6 directories, 4 files

[Bram Gerritsen]

Unable to reproduce yet.
I have tried with the Tuya -> Strip directory.

After selecting tuya at manufacturer the Strip model is appearing.

You are sure you did restart after putting the directory and files? Anything relevant in the logs?

[tektonnic]

Yeah I’ve rebooted and no change, I tried to manually add the model to a sensor in configuration and get the following;

2024-01-17 13:36:53.466 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.powercalc.sensors.power] light.office_strip_light: Skipping sensor setup Model not found in library (manufacturer: Tuya, model: Strip)
2024-01-17 13:36:53.466 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.powercalc.sensors.power] light.office_strip_light: Skipping sensor setup: Model not found in library (manufacturer: Tuya, model: Strip)

Should the hierarchy be enough for it to show? Is the contents of the csv and json irrelevant at this point?

[Bram Gerritsen]

hmm strange. The data of csv is irrelevant at this point.
The model.json is important though. Can you share this?

[tektonnic]

Sure, I think it’s just the default from the measure script

{
    "calculation_strategy": "lut",
    "measure_description": "Measured with utils/measure script",
    "measure_device": "Tapo P110",
    "measure_method": "script",
    "measure_settings": {
        "SAMPLE_COUNT": 2,
        "SLEEP_TIME": 3,
        "VERSION": "v1.9.16:docker"
    },
    "name": "Tuya LED Strip",
    "standby_power": 0.49
}

[Bram Gerritsen]

Could you also try to lowercase both manufacturer and model directory, and remove whitespacing, and eliminate OS case sensitivity issues?
Just to keep it as simple as possible.

[Bram Gerritsen]

And you have put the files under config/powercalc-custom-models directory? Must be under the config directory of HA.

[tektonnic]

Hi - ok so I followed your instructions re naming (I was already in that directory) and now they are appearing. Interestingly I’d already tried doing what you suggested before raising a bug but all my renames were performed using the File Editor add-in, so I rebuilt the directories via ssh and now things are working (this is such a cool integration btw, thank you for building and maintaining it). So perhaps File Editor was adding extra characters or whitespace? It’s not very clear…

[Bram Gerritsen]

Nice you got it working now.
It should also work with spaces, so not really sure why it wasn't working for you before.
But let's not waste any more of our time on it ;-)
Glad you like the integration, yes I do my best to maintain it to my best abilities.

Closing this issue.
