Sometimes there's no integration for the specific data that you want to show in Home Assistant. Next to the default scrape integration in Home Assistant, there is a HACS integration that allows you to scrape websites and load data from those websites into custom sensors. In this Home Assistant tutorial, I show you as an example how to scrape the current energy prices from your energy provider's website and the top three box-office movies from the IMDB site and how to show them on a dashboard in Home Assistant. Let's do this!
