Announcement: AppDaemon 3.0 beta 2

[ReneTode]

MDI adds new icons once in a while.
some new icons then are not recognized untill there is a new update in appdaemon.

[anon35356645]

Ok thanks, will wait update for putting the door icon

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

The next beta has the latest MDI icons.

I thought i can fix this issue from the beta 1 topic with a own skin.
Copied the default dashboard.css and variales.yaml to custom_css/skinname and started to play, but with no luck.
All i found that affects the sensor value was:

.widget {
  ...
  vertical-align: middle;
  ...
}

but it seems that only accepts top, middle or bottom.
Any hints on this?
Thanks in advance!

[ReneTode]

use the variables.yaml and just change where there is a problem. in this case the sensor variables.
i think you want to change the top from the container like top: 42px

[VDRainer]

Thanks very much @ReneTode.
sensor_container_style: "margin-top: 30px" does what i want.

I just finished upgrading to the beta and I have apps disabled but I am still receiving this error:

Do I have to configure the test app?

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

FOr now, at least create the apps dir - I’ll fix it so disable_apps doesn’t require it in the next beta.

EDIT: No it’s working as designed from my testing - you just need

disable_apps: true

[junior466]

@aimc

disable_apps: true

Ok, but now I get this:

@aimc The error is much more simple if I try and start the appdaemon service:

Feb 06 12:00:42 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started AppDaemon.

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

There have been changes in b3 that seem to address this, it works fine for me on my dev version.

For now, add the hello world app and re-enable apps.

[junior466]

@aimc Still the same error after enabling apps. Something to do with logs?
Should I uninstall and start from scratch?

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Sorry missed that - the fact it is asking for AppDameon means you aren’t
running 3.0b2 from systemd - I suspect you have 2 different installs.

[junior466]

@aimc So I uninstalled appdaemon and installed the beta again. Created the conf directory with apps directory and appdaemon.yaml. Inside apps directory I have apps.yaml and hello.py.

hello.py:

import appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi as hass

#
# Hello World App
#
# Args:
#

class HelloWorld(hass.Hass):

  def initialize(self):
     self.log("Hello from AppDaemon")
     self.log("You are now ready to run Apps!")

apps.yaml:

hello_world:
  module: hello
  class: HelloWorld

appdaemon.yaml:

appdaemon:
  logfile: STDOUT
  errorfile: STDERR
  logsize: 100000
  log_generations: 3
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: http://URL
      ha_key: KEY
      namespace: default
    HADashboard:
      dash_url: http://URL

Anything else I am missing?

[junior466]

@aimc Made some progress. Now If I remove the:

HADashboard:
  dash_url: http://URL

from the appdaemon.yaml, appdaemon starts with no errors but if I add then I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ appdaemon -c /home/homeassistant/conf

    basename = self.plugins[name]["type"]

[junior466]

Up and running . Here’s my config in case someone runs into these issues:

log:
  logfile: STDOUT
  errorfile: STDERR
  logsize: 100000
  log_generations: 3
appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass

      ha_key: KEY

  dash_url: http://URL

get_state() seems to have slightly different behavior when attempting to grab the entire state dictionary via attribute=all.

Example: self.get_state('input_boolean.test', attribute=all) returns only the attributes of that input boolean; the state itself is not included in the dictionary:

{'friendly_name': 'Test', 'icon': 'mdi:calendar'}

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Yes, that’s right, a little bug crept in and it’s already fixed, the fix will be in the next beta, probably this weekend

[aimc (Andrew Cockburn)]

Closing this thread as beta 3 has arrived!

Announcement: AppDaemon beta 3

Here it is - the next AppDaemon 3.0 beta! To upgrade from a previous version of the beta or of 2.0, use the command: $ pip3 install --upgrade --pre appdaemon You may need to use sudo depending on how you originally installed it. We have a few new features, some bugfixes, but the biggest change is a rewrite of the module loading and dependency tracking code. This rewrite introduces some breaking changes as dependencies are now tracked at the app level rather than the module level. This gives…
