Announcement - AppDaemon 3.0 beta 5

Third party integrations AppDaemon
42

I have the same problem here, everytime I restart Home assistant, I get this error for all my zwave switches.
I have to wait a few seconds and then restart appdaemon to get rid of this error.

It’s almost like appdaemon is starting before all my zwave device are discovered.
Is there anyway to delay the startup of appdaemon?

that fully depends on how you start appdaemon.
i start AD in a terminal (not the most useal way) but i can easily add a time before ad starts.
there are all kinds of ways to make sure everything is loaded before AD starts, just depends on the way you choose and the environment you have

  • for instance startup AD through HA
  • restart AD after some time afte HA is started
  • delay the process
  • use another way to start AD
  • etc.

but andrew is working on a fix to get rid of some racing problems, maybe that helps you too.
