Thanks for reporting. I have formatted the code. Think I will be able to reproduce and fix the issue with this information

[bramstroker]

I am not able to reproduce this issue yet.

Have the following configuration:

switch:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Mqtt
    state_topic: "mr2/status"
    command_topic: "mr2/cmd"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
    state_on: "1"
    state_off: "0"
sensor:
  - platform: powercalc
    entity_id: switch.mqtt
    standby_usage: 0.6
    fixed:
      power: 36.9

and in my log:
2021-07-23 16:23:51 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.powercalc.sensor] Setting up power sensor. entity_id:switch.mqtt sensor_name:Mqtt power strategy=FixedStrategy manufacturer= model= standby_usage=0.6

Which version of home assistant are you running?

[bramstroker]

Could you enable debug logging for both powercalc and mqtt?

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.powercalc: debug
    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug

Next restart home assistant, wait for the power calc sensor error, and post the full logs from the beginning of the restart.

Have also a similiar problem to this. In my case in combination with flux_led. The logs from startup:

I have HA 2021.7.4 running. Powercalc is setting up before flux_led (my lights), so could this be a problem?

[bramstroker]

Yes I think it's the order in which integrations are loaded. I made my integration dependant on some other integrations to make sure they are loaded first, but I cannot add all kind of exotic integrations as a dependency. At the moment the powercalc integration is trying to get the name of your device it was not created yet by the flux_led integration.

I wanted to propose a workaround to see if adding the name property would help, but I see you already specified a name yourself. The error is thrown when the powercalc integration is trying to retrieve the name of the device you are setting up the virtual power sensor. However I don't need to do that when you manually specify a name for the power sensor. Will have a look if I can fix this logic.

[bramstroker]

I just modified the code to extract the name and entity domain from the entity_id, this should get rid of the error you both reported here and should make the power sensor work.
Are you able to test with the master branch?
When it is solved for you I will create a new release.

[NachtaktiverHalbaffe]

I installed the master branch via HACS and in my case everything works now 👍

I'm not deeply into the Home assistant architecture, but is there a way to check if all entities from a domain e.g. lights are loaded? In long term this would be the best solution, to check if all supported domains are fully loaded and then load the powercalc component. Checking via some integration dependencys seems to be annoying in long term, a approach via domains seems more promising if possible

[bramstroker]

Nice that it's working for you! The fix is in version 0.2.7

I did have a look around the home assistant codebase how to check if all entities from a domain (ie light) are initialized, but could not really find anything. Also the developers docs and architecture does not mention this.
However the solution I implemented now should fix for all possible use cases and entity types, so no need to search further.
