Announcement - AppDaemon 3.0 beta 1!

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Just did some testing and reproduced the issue - I’ll work on a fix for 3.0 beta 2.

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

OK, I tracked it down - it’s now fixed in the dev branch and will be in 3.0beta2.

@kylerw

latest dev branch error preventing AD from starting

@kylerw - this should be fixed now.

@ReneTode Here is a modified version of the appdaemon add-on for hassio.
Appdaemon5
I haven’t had chance to set up as a repo so you need to copy the appdaemonmatt folder to /addons
Once installed you need to change the version configuration option to 3.0.0b1
This will install the beta, it will reinstall on each restart.
You will need to manually fix the appdaemon config and apps.

@matt2005 How would i go about changing the version config option when installing your addon? and how to fix config and apps. I want to test the 3.0 beta but i’m currently running HA using Hass.io.

Hi Guys,

I’m running on Win 10 and Appdaemon installed fine

However on running it after editing appdaemon.yaml …

I get the following error…

Looks like you are running version 2.1.12, and using the instructions for the 3.0 beta - some things have changed. So, either use the “stable” branch in ReadTheDocs, or upgrade to 3.0 beta, by running:

$ pip3 install --upgrade --pre appdaemon

[keithh666 (Keith Hull)]

Thanks @aimc, will give it a try

OK, it fails with a few permission errors but after 3 tries it installs successfully

[thundergreen]

after upgrading to python 3.6.4 i cannot uninstall previous version of appdaemon… should i just remove the exceutable? I have a service script which starts appdaemon on boot

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

It’s probably installed in the old 3.5 site packages - yo can safely ignore it or delete it if you want.

[thundergreen]

exactly ok… but imight have to adapt the appdaemon.service right?

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

I wouldn’t think so, the new AD will install in the same way and have a link to run it in the same place, probably either /usr/local/bin. If you are using a virtual environment you will have to change it to match the bin in the venv if it is different.

[thundergreen]

i don’t use appdaemon in venv so i will see. hopefully it will work… need to setup the cam again and wanna try some apps
dashboard need refactoring complete so i will start from zero

After a few hours I get a crash with the following error…

This config does NOT work . How is it supposed to be please . I use this link for docs: http://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL.html

[ReneTode]

depends on how you installed appdaemon.

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Giving us the error might help, including the piece with the version number of AppDaemon.

[thundergreen]

I’m actually at work… will post later i have AppDaemon 3 beta installed

[thundergreen]

I installed via PIP3 install --upgrade --pre appdaemon
