The old integration built into Home Assistant is broken and should be replaced.

Describe the solution you'd like

Replace the virtual integration in homeassistant with this one. While custom components are great, I prefer to keep them to a minimum for security purposes, and don't see a reason why this couldn't be included in homeassistant/core.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

I help maintain a small integration there already and would be happy to assist in the process, either by opening the PR or helping review the changes to help get it accepted.

I've reached out to the HA devs to see if it'd be possible to make it a smooth transition for any old users of the old one, but sadly we can't use the credentials that were in the old opower integration or the data, we'd need to start from scratch there.

If this isn't something you'd be interested in, would you be opposed to me starting a new integration using the library you shared (with a different domain to prevent conflcits)?

@masterkoppa - It seems as though this has been abandoned? - a possible solution to the GraphQL issue has been posted to RyanMorash/aionatgrid#5 but nothing has moved. I think this would be a great addition to the core if duplicated/rebuilt and reviewed.

Agreed. Would appreciate if someone could get this working again

Ok, given that it seems the original author is inactive I'll see about reviving this initiative. Can't make promises on timelines, but I'll post an update here when I get things going.

The author seems to have fully abandoned it and I have an updated fork of it working. I'm in the process of updating the library to republish it as well as the Home Assistant integration.

@virtitnerd Perfect, let me know if I can help with anything there.

@virtitnerd Perfect, let me know if I can help with anything there.

The new library has been published to https://github.com/virtitnerd/py-nationalgrid and and package has been made.

I'll work on reintegrating it with Home Assistant shortly as I have some additions to it

[virtitnerd]

@JasonHassio @masterkoppa if you both would like to try it, just published the release v0.2.0

https://github.com/virtitnerd/ha_nationalgrid

Remove the original custom integration from HACS first before adding this. You should not have to remove the integration or statistics that was previously loaded in.

Any issues please report them and I'll work them as best as I can.
