Configuration

Example configuration.yaml:

sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Engineering Feed
    feed_url: 'https://www.sciencedaily.com/rss/matter_energy/engineering.xml'
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
    inclusions:
      - title
      - link
      - description
      - image
      - published
    exclusions:
      - language

  # Configuration of the second sensor tracking a different RSS feed
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Algemeen
    feed_url: https://www.nu.nl/rss/Algemeen
    local_time: true
    show_topn: 1

If you wish the integration to look for enclosures in the feed entries, add image to inclusions list. Do not use enclosure. The integration tries to get the link to an image for the given feed item and stores it under the attribute named image. If it fails to find it, it assigns the Home Assistant logo to it instead.

Note that the original pubDate field is available under published attribute for the given feed entry. Other date-type values that can be available are updated, created and expired. Please refer to the documentation of the original feedparser library.

Configuration variables:

Note: Will return all fields if no inclusions or exclusions are specified

Due to how custom_components are loaded, it is normal to see a ModuleNotFoundError error on first boot after adding this, to resolve it, restart Home-Assistant.
