see log:

Don’t specify them and it will use what you set in HA. If you want to override HA. Then this is the indentation:

log:
  logfile: STDOUT
  errorfile: STDERR
appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: https://192.168.1.112:8123
  latitude: 32.93
  longitude: 35.01
  elevation: 20
  time_zone: <define>
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.112:5050

This indentation is implied in the documentation.

https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/CONFIGURE.html

I’m guessing that you don’t have anything specified in HA and you’re placing the attributes in the wrong spots in AD.

I recommend adding these to HA and then removing them from the AD config.

Add them through the UI.

Thanks Petro,

Done:

I delete /appdaemon/conf dir the appdaemon.yaml
( the directory contain also apps dashboard and compiled directories)

in homeassitant/conf dir
set appdaemon.yaml as below:

appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: https://192.168.1.112:8123
      latitude: 32.93
      longitude: 35.0
      elevation: 20
      time_zone: Asia/Jerusalem
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.113:5050

didn’t work - same error .

Also tried setting /appdaemon/conf//appdaemon.yaml
as u suggested

log:
  logfile: STDOUT
  errorfile: STDERR
appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: https://192.168.1.112:8123
  latitude: 32.93
  longitude: 35.01
  elevation: 20
  time_zone: Asia/Jerusalem
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.112:5050

no…

which would be a config like this

appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: https://192.168.1.112:8123
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.113:5050

Anyways, I don’t think this is causing your issues. It would be best if you moved this post over to the third party integrations / appdaemon for follow up.

Also, side note, your hass dash ip is wrong based on your setup. you use 112 in the docker setup yet call out 113 in the configuration. Still not going to solve the disconnection issue though.

I have a similar mistake, and I’m going crazy !!
Have you progressed something ??

@franky , the cause of this problem
is when ur HA is running on https , appdaemon just don’t work with it…
the only way to make this running is to use a reverse proxy .
so it when u are connecting HA from internal network u use http and from outside https.

In my case, I was trying to access system from my Windows 10 system. I had to create a new rule on the firewall to open the port 5050. Not sure if I needed both, but i did so for both the Inbound and Outbound and then the issue went away and it worked fine…
