Announcement - AppDaemon 3.0 beta 4

aimc · March 3, 2018, 3:41pm

A few features added around app dependency and reload, as well as a new filter function for preprocessing apps and a new Icon widget.

Also, a few bug fixes. In particular, I am now developing and running on 3.6.3 instead of 3.5.1, and that required some fixes to the async code.

hass.io release for this version should be available in a day or so according to @frenck

Enjoy!

3.0.0b4

Features

Single App dependencies can now be specified on the dependency line itself and don’t have to be a list of size 1
Added get_ad_version(), and ad_version to the config dictionary
Added filters for Apps
Added global module dependency tracking
Added plugin reload app control
Added icon widget

Fixes

Apps now correctly reload when HASS comes back up after a restart
get_error() now properly returns the error log logger object
get_hass_config() is now correctly named
app_args now correctly returns args for all apps
get_state() now returns fields from the attributes dictionary in preference to the top level dictionary if there is a clash. In particular, this now means it is easier to iterate through group members
Fixed a bug preventing an objects terminate() from being called when deleted from apps.yaml
Fixed a bug in which object info was not being cleaned out at object termination
Fixed an issue preventing dashboard updates on python 3.6

Has this not been released to PyPi yet?

aimc · March 3, 2018, 7:06pm

Apparently not - small issue with the build process, stay tuned!

EDIT: Fixed now, sorry

eBoon · March 3, 2018, 8:06pm

Quick re-test of this issue and I am unable to re-create the issue - so fingers crossed - looks like it is fixed!

Thanks again for this great tool!

Tom

Excellent - thanks for reporting back so quickly!

lightmind · March 3, 2018, 8:32pm

Hello,

Checked the dash and this issue has also been corrected. The radial-gauge widget is now updating in the dash panel. Many Thanks!

aimc · March 3, 2018, 9:10pm

Excellent - thanks for the confirmation.

I’m seeing this error when doing a cold restart of both HA and AppDaemon (each running in its own Docker container):

When I restart both HA and AppDaemon again, everything starts properly.

seems to me that HA didnt set the latitude before its announcing that its running.
i would set a pause (from around 90 seconds) in the service startup from appdaemon.
that way HA is completely running before AD starts.

frenck · March 5, 2018, 12:17pm

Just released the AppDaemon3 v0.2.0 add-on, containing v3.0.0b4.

aimc · March 5, 2018, 1:37pm

That will probably work for b4, thanks Rene. This looks like it was a small bug in the retry code, it will be fixed in the next release.

If you still can’t get this to work in the meantime, you can add a ;latitude directive to your appdaemon.yaml file under the appdaemon section. You will also likely need longitude, elevation and time_zone as well like this:

appdaemon:
...
  latitude: 40.0
  longitude: -73.0
  elevation: 16
  time_zone: America/New_York

However this should be fixed in the nexy beta and you can remove the directives.

ReneTode · March 5, 2018, 1:40pm

i have a delay in my appdaemon startup anyway, because HA takes ages to start and i dont want my AD log to start with 100 warnings that HA isnt connected

eBoon · March 5, 2018, 5:06pm

OK…this one is weird. Consider this app:

import appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi as hass
#import appdaemon.appapi as appapi
import globals

class switches(hass.Hass):
#
# testing
#
     def initialize(self):
        self.log("Initializing Test #2")
        self.turn_off("input_boolean.heat_toms_office")
        self.log("1")
        self.listen_state(self.dummy,
                          globals.office_heater,
                          new="off", old="on")
        self.log("2")
     def dummy(self, entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
        self.log("dummy")
        return

If (and only if!) input_boolean.heat_toms_office is on, as soon as I write this app file, AppDaemon hangs - the only way to get it going again is to restart it (systemctl restart [email protected]).

Here’s the log when the input boolean is off (I tail both the normal log and the error log for Appdaemon):

2018-03-05 11:03:14.858908 INFO AppDaemon: Terminating t2
2018-03-05 11:03:14.859843 INFO AppDaemon: Reloading Module: /home/homeassistant/conf/apps/t2.py

2018-03-05 11:03:19.999975 INFO t2: 2

I did two separate writes of the file.

Here’s what it looks like when the input boolean is on:

2018-03-05 11:05:03.800818 INFO AppDaemon: Terminating t2
2018-03-05 11:05:03.801809 INFO AppDaemon: Reloading Module: /home/homeassistant/conf/apps/t2.py
2018-03-05 11:05:03.805103 INFO AppDaemon: Initializing app t2 using class switches from module t2

2018-03-05 11:05:03.876746 INFO t2: 1

At this point I can write the file as much as I want - AppDaemon is hung, the only thing I can do is restart it.

Weird…right?

Very interesting - I have also heard something similar from @turboc, but your example app should make this a lot easier to track down. I think the culprit may be in some additional locking I added to the AppDaemon data structures in b4 but I’ll need to figure out why exactly it’s causing a problem.

eBoon · March 5, 2018, 5:12pm

Awesome - let me know if I can do anything to clarify or test for you.

Thanks,

Tom

aimc · March 5, 2018, 6:23pm

OK, I just reproduced it with the help of your app - looking at a fix now, thanks!

eBoon · March 5, 2018, 6:25pm

LOL - good deal - glad my efforts to cut it down to the bare essentials helped!

Tom

aimc · March 5, 2018, 7:03pm

OK, I have a fix for this in the code. Since this is fairly serious I’ll release an update later today.

aimc · March 5, 2018, 7:17pm

We have a new release, so closing this thread.
