Uber: Optional parameters are mandatory

[jabesq]

Home Assistant release (hass --version):
0.30.2

Python release (python3 --version):
2.7.9

Component/platform:
uber

Description of problem:
According to documentation, the following parameters are optionnal: end_latitude, end_longitude and product_ids. But if they are not set then no uber sensor is created. So either update the documentation in home-assistant.io if this is a new API limitation or fix this issue.

Expected:
A uber sensor should be created with the minimal option set

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and steps to reproduce:

sensor:
  - platform: uber
    server_token: 'BeAPPTDsWZSHLf7fd9OWjZkIezweRw18Q8NltY27'
    start_latitude: 37.8116380
    start_longitude: -122.2648050

Additional info:
If this sensor could handle device tracker and zone in order to automatically set latitude and longitude, this would a big improvement

product_ids can be found manually with the following command:
curl -H 'Authorization: Token '
'https://api.uber.com/v1/products?latitude=&longitude='

A time sensor should be created but not a price sensor since we can't get a price without having a final destination. Can you test to make sure that you are seeing 1/2 sensors and not 0/2?

I am not seeing any sensor added with just the following data:

sensor:
  - platform: uber
    server_token: 'BeAPPTDsWZSHLf7fd9OWjZkIezweRw18Q8NltY27'
    start_latitude: 37.8116380
    start_longitude: -122.2648050

(but no problem if I add end_latitude and end_longitude)

Has this been fixed?

[jabesq]

No, the issue is still here with hass 0.40

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.

Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍

The configuration sample you provided works fine.

sensor:
  - platform: uber
    server_token: !secret uber_api
    start_latitude: 37.8116380
    start_longitude: -122.2648050
