A more European-friendly and/or user-definable date format is something I’ve been meaning to ask for for quite some time now.
Something which Hass itself could do with as well…
i guess you could expect that local format should be what local people want 
i dont use it so i have no idea what it would be for me.
in HA you can create a date sensor with any format you like.
but i am sure that a better customisable clock widget is on the list from Andrew for the future.
Sure you can format a sensor, but that doesn’t do much for the general UI - in e.g. Logbook, History, and the like. Not to mention the insistence on am/pm time format…
These things should be user-definable, and not rely on some systemwide setting. E.g. I run all my gear in (American) English, but that doesn’t mean I like American date/time formats…
i agree that there are more things that should be customisable in HA
i didnt think about dates in the UI because i dont use those parts

The only change I made to appdash.py was this change for rpi by @quadportnick.
Also ‘$ ls -a /usr/src/app’ is empty and none of: /conf/compiled/html/default, /conf/compiled/html, /conf/compiled, and /conf exist.

Any help is appreciated 
Is there a Hello.dash file in your /appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards/ directory? If so, what are the contents?
Yes sir. Here it is:
#
# Main arguments, all optional
#
title: Hello Panel
widget_dimensions: [120, 120]
widget_margins: [5, 5]
columns: 8
label:
widget_type: label
text: Hello World
layout:
- label(2x2)I ask because I ran into this same issue during the testing of the newest release with @aimc and my Hello.dash was kinda screwy, but yours is correct.
I’m going to assume at this point that you are trying to load Hello.dash with the default style, so it rules out any custom CSS being at fault.
Can you take a look in the /appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/compiled/html/default directory and tell me if you see the files hello_body.html and hello_head.html? Can you load any of the other dashboards that come as example files?

Correct.

I don’t have a ‘compiled’ directory. This is what’s in my conf dir. Searching for those files turns up nothing, also – I tried that even before my first post about this problem.

I followed all the steps to build that @quadportnick posted here. I see some people use ‘docker run …’ but I can’t because (I suppose) I did ‘docker start …’ – if that’s even relevant.
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but when I first started with this a couple days ago it kept failing on this line in Dockerfile:
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
I had to sudo mkdir the src and app dirs for it to continue, but even now that directory (/usr/src/app) seems to always be empty when I check.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with Docker but there are others who follow this thread that do. I am concerned that you don’t have a compiled directory though; I can’t imagine that Docker would be so different that it would put it in another place.

I updated to the new HASS and updated the zwave fan component. How will this effect HADashboard?
Tried reinstalling hadashboard but still same error -

Any ideas
Should have no effect
Not sure - I’m currently on vacation, I’ll have a look when I get back. There may be a version mismatch with AIOHTTP or you may have some corrupted files.
First work, now vacation. We see where we rank in your priorities. LOL Have fun

When I replace the light prefix with the fan prefix in HASS I get the dashboard error.
I got it working . Uninstalled aiohttp and jinja and installed again. Everything working now
