Can you give me an example of the raw data you want?

Currently, I have implemented a workaround in a cloned repository, but it
is not clean. I utilize historical data in Home Assistant, which I then
process through Node-RED to create sensors that output daily usage and
remaining time for the month.
Thank you for considering this enhancement!

You would like this entire JSON to be in the attributes?

What if I include a new attribute for the sensor called raw_usage and put the entire raw usage json received from Xfinity underneath that? |

My initial thought was to post this to a custom MQTT topic, as I don’t necessarily need it in Home Assistant. However, if it’s easier to include it in the sensor attributes topic, that works for me as well. |

I've got a dev branch, 0.0.12.8.1 that includes this. It will just post the full usage data to the xfinity topic at the root instead of under homeassistant. I'm going to let this run for a few days in my lab and see how it goes. |

Confirmed that everything works correctly for me so far. However, I encountered an issue with the default entry point when running in a standalone container (outside of Hassio). I haven't had time to troubleshoot fully yet, but I’ll create a detailed issue when I can. In the meantime, I resolved it by using a custom entry point in my Docker Compose file: entrypoint: /bin/sh -c "python3 -Wignore /xfinity_usage_addon.py" |

Do you need the MQTT raw data topic to be retained in the MQTT server or just published? I'm working on a dashboard template that would show past month and usage in a table, but I can only get the mqtt trigger sensor to work if I do not retain the topic. |

I had a bug in my template trigger sensor, so nevermind, I will be keeping the topic with the retain option. I would love to see instructions on how to setup a dashboard like screenshot above. I made a simple markdown table like this:
I plan to provide documentation on how to set that up. |

Would you be willing to share your Node-RED setup too? |
