Disabling Unify configuration while Homeassistant is down

Configuration
1

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to disable the Unify integration while homeassistant is down.

Details
So a disk in my server died. Luckily I am running everything in docker with the state on a Nas. After setup of a new dockerhost I run all my containers fine again, except Unify and Homeassistant. Unify really died or messed up the database so I will fix that. Homeassistant (core) is expecting a Unify to be available and I cannot enter the webui to disable this. Logging shows:
I went to my Yaml Config file to disable Unify, to my suprise it was already hashed out(it’s been a while).
I also tried disabling the whole device tracker part with the same result.

2020-05-24 19:05:57 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.unifi] Error connecting to the UniFi controller at 192.168.2.9
2020-05-24 19:05:57 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Config entry for unifi not ready yet. Retrying in 80 seconds.

Anyone got some ideas to figure this one out?

First, you should open an issue on github, because:

  • that should not prevent HA from starting into the safe mode UI.
  • some of us don’t like the removal of yaml.

To get your HA back, take a look into the .storage folder, make a backup of the files before you edit them and remove the integration from the json files (core. config_entries, i think)

thanks, I am back up!
