got the language part. So where are you from? Are you actually in Holland or relocated somewhere?
I am born in holland and now i live in Germany. for 11 years already.
oke, i found out my problem.
omxplayer didnt like my setup (old vga monitor with emulated HDMI and sound through the 3,5mm jack)
it functions, but sometimes gave back an error and from that moment appdaemon hangs in the subprocess.
but before i found that out many hours were gone.
i have installed mpg321 player and chaced the code and everything works like a charm.
i have chosen a different way for storing then with lists.
the reason is that i didnt want to lose messages when appdaemon stops running.
i could have implemented a DB but this was easier. (partly because i havent had the chance to work with DB out off python yet)
in a dir i list text files with priority, and i call them back when the list is empty.
at start i needed a delay.
i have placed the app and all the info here:
cool. What part of Germany are you in? I’m trying to convince work to send me over there next September 
i live in the winearea.
50 m from the river mosel.
in a small town called briedel.
Guys,
I am trying to figure out disconnect issue for my AppDaemon, here is the link three days back I was posting some information here in this thread: AppDaemon Q&A
After running AppDaemon with -D DEBUG I have collected few more information if any one can help me please.

As I mentioned apps work fine if it is not dependent on HA, so in above log two lights are getting turned on based on sun but rest nothing is working and it keep trying every 10 minutes and spits out entity is None. As of now I am not using timeout parameter to SSEClient call.
Also I have mentioned I am running SSEClient version 0.0.12 should I upgrade to latest 0.0.14?
Thanks
The “Entity is none” message is expected behavior. It reflects the fact that AppDaemon is asking for the whole state not a specific entity. Those messages merely reflect the fact that the timer thread is working and is refreshing state every 10 minutes, but you don;t seem to be getting any streaming updates from HASS>
I am using SSE v 0.12 happily.
Can you post the whole log - or at least the part where AppDaemon starts up?
Below is the start up log. I have secured HA which uses duckdns and let’s encrypt and appdaemon has 20 threads in my config. Hope I am not filling up space with log details.
Thanks for your help.

I can run it manually and get my desired output no problem.
NAME=appdaemon
APPDAEMON_DIR=/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon/
DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/appdaemon
PIDFILE="$APPDAEMON_DIR/$NAME.pid"
CFGFILE="$APPDAEMON_DIR/conf/$NAME.cfg"
DAEMON_OPTS="-d -p $PIDFILE -c $CFGFILE"
The only line I changed is the APPDAEMON_DIR … but I know there is no pid file and I know the daemon location is wrong (there is nothing in that directory, currently). I did not do anything with ~/scripts/appdaemon.service. I’m at my wit’s end, because I know AppDaemon would be a great fit for me as I have a great handle on Python.

I am running Hassbian and once activating the virtual environment, under the homeassistant user, I am able to start appdaemon manually and see the desired output in my logs. However in following the steps, I am unable to get it to run on startup.
@SupahNoob i am sorry, i cant help you. i Always run appdaemon manually and dont want it any other way 
but i have a christmaspresent for all appdaemonusers who write their own apps.
tired of running around up and down in the API seeking for that 1 command?
here is the command list:
http://appdaemon.reot.org/appdeamon_commands.html
ill probable need to make some tweeks, but did want to give you all a christmaspresent.
hope you all like it.
merry Christmas and many automated lightning from me.

Anyone have luck setting up event listeners for startup & shutdown? I can’t get them to trigger.
i only used ha_started
Can you share your automation? I’m unable to get this working for whatever reason.
mine is old and unused.
look at the example switch_reset which is included in appdaemon.
it has ha_started in it also.
I forgot to save my file, which is why it wasn’t working. If things look OK, it’s usually a UserError.
having HA in virtual environment, where (and how) do I install appdaemon?
Sorry newb here
lol, @SupahNoob
@anon35356645 i would install appdaemon inside the inviroment, but it isnt neccesary.
it also works when you install appdaemon on a completely different PC.
Hi, I’m trying to set up a callback to run a function when someone is at home but I don’t understand how to do it.
Which state should I use?
Best regards
AppDeamon allows you to react to State Changes, not states per-se. So do you mean you want to fire a function when someone arrives home? Someone specific? Anyone?
