ADS integration breaks after update of core on RPi4

Configuration
1

I had my Beckhoff ADS integration working since a couple of months.
Yesterday I did an update of the core and now none of the ADS sensors is found anymore.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise ImportError(
ImportError: Exception importing homeassistant.components.ads.binary_sensor

Any suggestions? I did 2 updates as first did not work, so I am not sure anymore if my core-2022.7.5 is the earliest to fail.

ANY ideas?

Same problem here. ADS integration worked with version 2022.6.7. Not anymore with 2022.7.6.
See also https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/74952.
I downgraded: ha core update --version 2022.6.7

Semi OT, and I am embarrassed to ask.

I did not manage to downgrade :frowning:

  1. No full backup
  2. When I do a fresh install with an old image I always ended up with the latest core anyway, apparently it does an Autoupdate on first run / install?
    Can someone point me to a working way on how to get an old core running?
    Thanks !!

Same problem here! Today I tested the latest release. Still same error, ADS is broken.
Log shows:

Will this be fixed? Or is support for ADS stopped?

For the moment I have to revert to my backup with the latest working version: 2022.6.7

Samen issue here. Reverting to the last (albeit partial) backup and it’s back online.
Hopefully it will be fixed: I have the impression ads is not the most sexy integration and could use some attention.

Same issue here. Thing is: It’s working on a VM, but not on RPI install.
Perhaps something wrong with pyads ?

7

Same here. had to downgrade to version core 2022.6.7 to get ADS working again.

8

I turned my ADS off in configuration.yaml as soon as the new build broke it. I am now running 2022.8.7 and tried to turn it back on thinking it might be fixed. But, when I checked my configuration, I got the “Invalid” message, so I commented it out again.

Anyone know the current status of the ADS feature in core?

9

I’m trying to add the ADS integration but I get the invalid message also. Any news on the subject?

10

For everybody who had it working and it broke on 2022.7.x - you can revert the core back to 2022.6.7 and it will work again. (I have gone back for now, until it is fixed.)

See How do I install core-2022.6.x from scratch on RPi? - #2 by tom_l

11

Will there be a fix apart from reverting back to 2022.6.7?

12

Is this issue on RPI install allready solved in the latest 2023.2.5 ?

Unfortunately the problem still exists.
This Github topic provides a workaround:

Hi All,

Having the same issue while integrating my Beckhoff CX1010 into home assistant.
Finally i fixed this by putting the complete integration in Node Red.

I’ve used the node-red-contrib-ads-client for adding the ADS functionality to my Home Assistant.

Hopefully this will help some of you to get ADS running again.

Running:
Home Assistant 2023.6.3
Supervisor 2023.06.4
Operating System 10.3
RPI 3

15

Apparently nothing has changed on this issue.

16

can someone from the @homeassistant team look into this.
As in Allow for platform dependent builds by SaWey · Pull Request #363 · stlehmann/pyads · GitHub mentioned, the ads implementation there is working. it’s somehow homeassistant manages their dependencies.
ads is a core feature of home assistant. So it’s very annoying, that such a bug exists since 2 years
