I recently upgraded my Hassbian installation on a Pi3 to the newest version 0.44.1 and upgrade the OS (sudo apt-get && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade). Raspberry firmware is version 4.3.24 (rpi-update).
Since then I get all kinds of errors in my log. If I exclude all automations, then HA starts without problems, but as soon as I include automations then the errors are occurring again.
The following errors have been logged this session:
