Announcement: AppDaemon 3.0.1

aimc · April 14, 2018, 8:11pm

Nothing startling, a few bugfixes and several new features:

3.0.1

Features

Added Production Mode to disable checking of App config or code changes
RSS Feed can now optionally show a description for each story
Disabling of zooming and double tap zooming on iOs devices is now optional via the scaling dashboard argument
Exiting from the commandline with ctrl-c will now cleanly terminate apps
Sending SIGTERM to an appdaemon process will cause a clean shutdown, including orderly termination of all apps in dependency order
Added extra checking for HASS Initialization to prevent a race condition in which metadata could not be read
Weather widget facelift allowing ability to change sensors, more dynamic usnits, forecast option, icon options, option to show Rain/Snow depending on precip_type sensor (and change icons), wind icon rotates according to wind bearing - contributed by Marcin Domański <https://github.com/kabturek>__

Fixes*

Fixed a problem in the Docker initialization script
Fixed an parameter collision for events with a parameter name in listen_event()
Grammar corrections to docs, and a fix to the stop code - contributed by Matthias Urlichs <https://github.com/smurfix>__

Breaking Changes

iOS Scaling and tap zooming is no longer disabled by default

The Hass.io add-on for AppDaemon3 has been updated to AppDaemon v3.0.1. as well, the add-on version is now v1.0.1.

This is great! Thanks to all!

I’ve one little question, can I invert the orientation of the rotated wind icon?

wind-icon-rotation

The Wind Bearing in the above is 126 degrees.

So could the straight line part be where the wind is coming from, and the curly part where it’s going to?

ItownTech · May 10, 2018, 3:32pm

how did you show the icon?

Bit-River · May 11, 2018, 11:06am

It’s a feature of the new version, just change your weather widget definition to something like this:

weather:
    widget_type: weather
    units: "&deg;c"
    show_forecast: 1
    forecast_title: Tomorrow
    prefer_icons: 1
    sensors:
      icon: sensor.dark_sky_icon
      temperature: sensor.dark_sky_temperature
      apparent_temperature: sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature
      humidity: sensor.dark_sky_humidity
      precip_probability: sensor.dark_sky_precip_probability
      precip_intensity: sensor.dark_sky_precip_intensity
      precip_type: sensor.dark_sky_precip
      pressure: sensor.dark_sky_pressure
      wind_speed: sensor.dark_sky_wind_speed
      wind_bearing: sensor.dark_sky_wind_bearing
      forecast_icon: sensor.dark_sky_icon_1
      forecast_temperature_min: sensor.dark_sky_daily_low_temperature_1
      forecast_temperature_max: sensor.dark_sky_daily_high_temperature_1
      forecast_precip_probability: sensor.dark_sky_precip_probability_1
      forecast_precip_type: sensor.dark_sky_precip_1

Specifically, it’s the prefer_icons: 1 part you’re looking for.

ReneTode · May 14, 2018, 9:29am

seems like it should only i dont see the precip_intensity_min in your ha setup.
this could be a cash problem.

b) find out if it is a cash problem somewhere by doing the following:

close all dashboards
clear the cash from the browsers that you use the dashboards in
close appdaemon
clear your logfiles
clear the subdirectories that are in conf/compiled but leave the structure
close the device that is running appdaemon
restart the device that is running appdaemon
restart appdaemon
open 1 dashboard in google chrome
if you still have problems then look at the java console (CTRL Shift I) in chrome for errors and look in your logfiles for errors.
if not provide:
- which appdaemon version you are running (preffered by the first part of the logs)
- which python version you are running
- which system you are running it on (hassbian, hassio, ubuntu, etc.)
- the logfiles from the start
- the java console error(s)

thanks very much.

Hi Guys.

I am trying to connect to homeassistant with the frontend disabled and websockets_api enabled.

I am receiving the following error every 5 seconds:

2018-05-19 21:23:23.600195 INFO AppDaemon: HASS: Connected to Home Assistant 0.70.0.dev0 
2018-05-19 21:23:23.621753 WARNING AppDaemon: HASS: Error getting metadata 
2018-05-19 21:23:23.622772 WARNING AppDaemon: HASS: Disconnected from Home Assistant, retrying in 5 seconds

Your help is appreciated

ReneTode · May 20, 2018, 12:08am

just an error is in most cases not enough.
is this a first install from AD?
did you change anything if not?
whats in your appdaemon.yaml?
you have ha frontend disabled? are you sure it is running correctly and how?
didnt you also disable HA api?

give us every info that you think can be helpfull to solve your problem.

daverin18 · May 20, 2018, 12:49am

@ReneTode

My Apps in Appdaemon work perfectly with frontend: defined in HASS configuration, if I replace frontend: with websocket_api: and restart HASS I get the error described above in my appdaemon log when HASS comes online. Once HASS is online it serves the API to Appdaemon, logging the following every 5 seconds:

2018-05-20 00:37:01 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/websocket to 127.0.0.1 (auth: False)

I didn’t change my appdaemon.yaml which contains the HASS plugin.
I am running appdaemon 3.0.1 and homeassistant version 0.70.0.dev0 - but I’ve found the problem on homeassistant 0.62.0 as well.

I’ve attached my appdaemon.yaml file here: appdaemon.yaml (671 Bytes)

ReneTode · May 20, 2018, 12:57am

auth: False

so it seems that the websocket api does require another way to authenticate.
did you try without using websocket_api as option in HA?

daverin18 · May 20, 2018, 1:03am

Just tried it now, Appdaemon does not connect at all without websocket_api: or frontend: in configuration.yaml.

I should mention that even with frontend: the auth:False is still present:

2018-05-20 01:00:39 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/websocket to 127.0.0.1 (auth: False)
2018-05-20 01:00:39 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/config to 127.0.0.1 (auth: True)
2018-05-20 01:00:39 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/states to 127.0.0.1 (auth: True)

ReneTode · May 20, 2018, 1:27am

did you install with docker, venv, hassio?

localhost is in most cases not a preffered connection.
try to use the same url that you can use in any browser on any system to get data from HA.

try to get api info from HA in a browser on another device, then use that url in appdaemon.yaml

daverin18 · May 20, 2018, 1:45am

I am running hass and appdaemon inside a single docker container each inside their own venv.

I tried replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1, same issue, works with frontend by doesn’t with websocket_api.

I can’t use the public url since the public url in my case is dynamic and is subject to change.

ReneTode · May 20, 2018, 12:04pm

and how do you access a changing url?
the ip can be changing, but the url that you use to access ha public should be a stable one.
the url doesnt need to be an ip, it can also be a named url.

but maybe that @aimc has another idea why it isnt working.

gpbenton · May 20, 2018, 1:36pm

You normally have to add the api: component when you remove the frontend. Have you tried that?
