Installation

I upgraded and have this. The whole command is a single line and way too long to copy. Here’s the first grab.

Was this working before ?

There are a couple of different formats you can use - see the install guide https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/ for an example of the other format.

The other format would look something like

customize:
  switch.arest_pin_two:
    assumed_state: false
  switch.arest_pin_zero:
    assumed_state: false

Yes working perfect with 0.38.4 Just when I upgrade to 0.39.0 Reinstalling to 0.38.4 makes it work again.

7

Apologies - didn’t quote my reply properly. Do you want to try the other format or have you already gone back to 0.38.4 ?

8

The release notes for 0.39 detail the breaking change for customize.

A tool is provided here to convert your format:

This worked for me.

I’ve no choice but to go back right now. playing around with the tool andrewpc posted. Not having any luck so far.

I actually got the customize to kinda sorta work but now zwave config is broken. Back to 0.38.4 and going to bed . Fight another day :grin:

11

I got it. Ran the whole configuration.yaml in the tool and only had to change under zwave:

customize: to device_config:

All is working. One tiny problem but I’ll start another thread.

Ok,
Just pretend I don’t know anything. (not a far stretch) how do I use this tool? I see html and java script…

I pasted in the records from my config file. They showed up over in input like I guess they should. I click convert and nothing happens.
