not the wisest move.
that way you override stuff that can cause trouble.
read the first 2 lines 
but oke, please change that dirname to a skinname (like my_default)
and there also shouldnt be all kind of css files in the custom_css
they can all lead to trouble.
did you add those on purpose? and whats that purpose?
if you dont need them, delete them.
I just wanted to change the background color to black…
Is there another way to do that besides creating a new skin?
the problem is that you created a custom skin, and now you cant use the default anymore.
it is possible the way you do it, but you need to remember that you need to update and change the files, every time you update appdaemon, to make sure you dont have a problem because you are using an old default skin.
to make sure that your troubles dony come from something you created yourselve somehow, you always need to go back to the basic settings that the programmer created.
thats only possible if you rename the skin.
Ok, that won’t be a problem.
The only thing that is bugging me now is the warning about robots.txt…
Thank you very much for you patience and time!
did you check with filezilla in the dashboards dir?
the file or a refference to it must be somewhere in your dashboards dir, or in custom css or in custom widgets
it bugs me too, that something like that exists and cant be found.
I’ve searched the file inside all folder and subfolders of appdaemon. If i knew the content of the file i could create it and try to put on the right place… What’s strange is that everything works great, no problem besides the warning. And the pages are a little slow to load.
the content isnt important and there is no right place.
its a file that should not exist.
But is it a problem created by anything i’ve done?
thats the problem, i cant find that out unless you delete everything that you added yourself.
you could backup the files from inside custom css and custom widgets and then delete everything in those dirs.
clear the dashboard dir except for 1 simple dashboard
clear the apps dir
then restart appdaemon,
if the error then dissapears it is something you created.
if not then i can only assume that there is something gone wrong during install from the addon and you could try to uninstall and reinstall.
Ok, i’ve taken this steps:
appdaemon folderapps, custom_css and custom_widgets. Now i only have the dashboard and logs foldersdashboard folder. Created a simple dashboard file with only the clock widgetappdaemon.log:

TypeError: text argument must be str (<class 'dict'>)So… uninstalled and reinstalled, didn’t use any custom stuff, used a simple dashboard and there is always that warning about robots.txt…
only thing i can think of is that there is still a hidden file in the config dir somewhere and you didnt delete it completely.
you could delete the complete config dir and all its subdirs.
and the reinstall.
the config dir should be recreated.
because i havent seen that error from anyone else, a complete clean reinstall cant have that error.
but that is about the last possible thing i can think of.
That’s a good idea. What I’ve done was:
appdaemon folder completelyOn the log i could see AD complaining about the the folder not beeing there and created it. I think this is the line:
INFO: ha_key is missing in the AppDaemon configuration, fixing...

Is it safe to say that there is nothing wrong on my side but a problem with the addon or AD itself?
its not an AD file, from that i am 100% sure
and you had the problem with AD 2 and AD 3, so it also cant be the addon.
that besides the fact that you are the only 1 that got those errors.
at the moment i am even wondering if your device couldnt be infected with something?
or maybe with the uninstall cashed files are not all deleted?
but whatever it is i am out of ideas
And how can i check that?
like i said i am out of ideas.
all i can think of is formatting the SD and create a clean new install and then add your config again.
but if its an infection, then even copying config files would be a risk.
i must say i never heard from an infection, and i dont even know if thats possible.
but at this moment i am just grasping.
Could this problem came from an addon or custom component?
you dont have a custom component now in the addon, so we can rule that out.
(again, unless temp files are not deleted with uninstall)
could it come from another addon?
i have no clue.
i guess it shouldnt, because addons should be seperate from each other, when i have understand it correct.
but its hassio, i guess anything is possible.
Where are those temp files located? Can they be accessed from the command line with Putty for example?
I use a few addons but they are very common (AppDaemon3, DuckDNS, Grafana, HASS Configurator, InfluxDB, Mosquitto, SSH Server and Samba Share). the only less common addon is Motion…
i have no clue where they relocated the temp files.
with normal install from appdaemon they are in the config/compiled dir.
but we noticed that they are not there.
and i dont know what else they relocated
and i am sorry but i have no clue how they did built the whole structure, and how to access the complete file structure.
hassio is like windows, you install programs, but if something is wrong, you dont want to try to find the failure
it has advantages for people who want things simple, but people who want to do more complicated stuff dont use it. (and that also creates a problem, because Andrew doesnt use it, I dont use it, so we wont get exp. in it.)
