AppDaemon 2 to 3 migration troubles

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

Hi All,

Some time ago I built a simple app to take a power load from a smart switch and determine if a pedestal fan is actually on or off; then override the HA switch accordingly. Use case - If I turn the fan on by the remote, then it state is updated so dependant automations etc are done correctly.

Sadly a rebuild has meant I’ve lost the AppDaemon V2 add-on I’ve held onto for dear life and It’s finally time to migrate to V3. Ive gone through some migration steps in docs but I’ve hit an error I just can’t seem to figure out how to deal with.

Spoiler alert, my python knowledge is near zero, it was amazing I built it at all with the help of the community.

I’m getting the following error:

# status (on/off) when triggered by the remote from outside HA.

#
# Args:
# plug: entity ID of smart plug with ‘load_power’
# device: entity ID of device using power

class FanSync(hass.Hass):
 
  def initialize(self):
    self.listen_state(self.change_switch, self.args["plug"])

  def change_switch(self, entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
    state = self.get_state(self.args["plug"], "load_power")
    self.log(state) #dont use print(state)
    print(state)

      self.set_state(self.args["device"], state = "off")
    else:
      self.set_state(self.args["device"], state = "on")

Hoping its an easy thing

Thank you so much,

The way to indicate attributes changed from v2 to v3. I think this will work in v3

state = self.get_state(self.args[“plug”], attribute=“load_power”)

@gpbenton That worked thank you!
Lol after an awkward little moment with quotation mark types
