Breaking changes in 0.91

Configuration

Hi, This is my first post to the community, so hope its in the right place…

In the release notes for the latest version there is a breaking change for the way custom components work.

“We finished the great migration. All built-in platforms are now in their own folder. This means that if you had a custom component or platform that had the same name as a built-in one, you have to rename it. If you still have platforms in your custom_components/ directory in the old file format, sensor/my_platform.py , rename it to my_platform/sensor.py . It still works but it will not be supported in a future release.”

I’m using one such integration for Sonoff switches using original firmware ( https://github.com/peterbuga/HASS-sonoff-ewelink ), so after the upgrade I altered the directory structure and naming conventions as per the release notes and it all broke… (sensors and switches unavailable, with a mis configuration message in the main logs)

The old working structure and names is:

 custom_components
    ├── sonoff.py
    └── switch
        └── sonoff.py
    └── sensor
        └── sonoff.py

And I changed this to:

custom_components
    ├── sonoff.py
    └── sonoff
        └── switch.py
        └── sensor.py

`
Any ideas why this does not work ? (or have I misinterpreted the instructions ?)

Phil.

I would say :

custom_components
   └── sonoff
       └── __init__.py
       └── switch.py
       └── sensor.py

Where __init__.py is your sonoff.py renamed.

Cool, made the changes you suggest and the Sonoff devices are up and running with the new structure :slight_smile:

However, all 51 of my Hue lights are now unavailable :frowning:

Rebooted a couple of times with the same result…

UPDATE: Scratch that…, after 5 mins or so they all came back online… weird…

I am running this on an old Raspberry Pi A, so it might be a touch overloaded…, I have a Pi 3 B+ arriving in the post today and will be moving over to that, but the Pi A is surprisingly performant most of the time, just can be a bit slow loading the logbook and history tabs.

Glad it’s working back.
Basically for all custom components you have, this structure would be correct from now.

This is 100% dealt with in peterbuga’s repo.
