• E.g. If the URL shows collection-day-detail.aspx?an=12345678901 you need to note the number 12345678901.

The rest of the setup is the same as any other Integration.

Additional Configuration

• Sensor data is updated every 3 hours by default. If this schedule does not work for you, can can use an automation to define a custom polling interval
• The Geolocation Address sensor is disabled by default - this sensor was intended to assist me with being sure the address being polled was correct. Let me know if you find it useful for something and think it should be enabled by default.
