After the last update (appdeamon 0.17.3) ControllerX stops working here. i subscribed to github on this issue: [BUG] ControllerX and Appdeamon · Issue #1184 · xaviml/controllerx · GitHub
So maybe this helps other users when the experiencing problems, that they are not alone and there’s work in progress (i’ll hope)

Yep, same here. I restored v 0.16.7 from a backup and now all is well, until the contributor has a chance to fix and update it. Not throwing stones, it’s a great add-on. I think Frenck mentioned that it’s actually due to a change from the Appdaemon coders and not the add-on contributor.

I should know better but I had auto-updates on for all my add-ons (now changed). Much better to give the updates a chance to settle before updating my system.

Thanks, have the same issue.

If it is the same that you mentioned on github, I think you have missed adding exclude_dirs into appdaemon.yaml file.

Yes, thanks for that. That appears to the issue. I have made the changes suggested in the GitHub thread.

I added:

appdaemon:
  app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps
  exclude_dirs:
    - cx_core

I have the controllerx directory located at /config/appdeamon/apps/controllerx

I take it that is the location of the app_dir entry. That is where HACS is installing the beta update as far as I can see. However, I noticed this in the Appdeamon add-on log:

025-06-09 23:49:40.768905 WARNING AppDaemon: No apps found in /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps. This is probably a mistake

Not sure what the mistake is.
