Third party integrations

I updated to 2025.5 but when I restarted system HACS no longer start up. I checked logs and it shows this:

Logger: homeassistant.config_entries

HAOS is running on intel nuc150.

Solved, I had very old version of HACS. I guess it never updated automaticaly. I manualy reinstaled it and now I can upgrade normaly.

I’m having the same error…
But even after reinstalling HACS still the same error…
HACS version 1.33

Current version of Hacs is 2.0.5, so you really need to update.

OMG, thx! fixed it :slight_smile:

Remove HACS from HA en reinstalled it, but get again version 1.33 How to force to get the lastest 2.0.5 Version… THanks for any help

I had a similar problem. I could go to Developer tools and could get an option to restart HA, but no option to reboot the system. I finally disconnected the ethernet cable (my system is a HA Yellow with POE), and after rebooting the system, everything works like it should.

8

Finally get it working, after i manage to instal V2. of HACS. Was not a easy task en not very clear how to do it But via the hacs.xyz web site it works on the end. Take at least 5 hours trial and error…

I also updated to 2025.5 and my HACS 1.34 is down. I cannot restore backup because I get an error. How can the problem with HACS be resolved?

I’d been putting off upgrading HACS to the 2.x release since I had a Lenovo clock that did not like the updated versions of specific packages. Didn’t see anything in breaking changes, but maybe I missed that, so updated HA to 2025.5.1 and then HACS refused to start. Deleting and re-adding HACS just brought me back to a 1.x release. As @PdeRuiter pointed out (but didn’t provide steps), this took a minute to resolve. Steps are below that worked for me, irritating start to the day but my dashboards are all working again at least.

Go to the downloading page on hacs.xyz, click My Link to open HA add-on prompt, install Get-HACS add-on, set add-on to start at boot, restart HA, go to Add-ons → Get HACS → Logs tab and verify that it’s downloading HACS. Once complete, this installed HACS 2.0.5 for me and I saw a long list of HACS packages to update. You can remove the Get-HACS add-on after this.

Thank you. I’m following your steps, but it’s stuck on the “waiting for device activation” page now. I’ve added the activation code to github and got the confirmation that it was correct, but the page in HA just doesn’t change. It’s circling on “waiting for device activation” for a while now. Any idea what to do? Or does this take a while?

Just had this problem myself and this topic, particularly this response, helped me solve it. Thanks!

Sorry, wasn’t following this thread. It took mine quite a while to get past that screen, did it eventually complete for you?

I had a similar issue. I am on Starlink which uses a CGNAT (IP is shared with multiple devices). I had to temporarily route my home assistant through a VPN to allow the authentication to work. I would check to see if your service provider uses CGNAT.

thank you so much for this. should be stickied!

one more thing: if you’re like me and removed the old defunct HACS manually before doing the steps described above you will need to add the HACS manually again after the addon completes its job. otherwise the integration won’t show up.

Hi thanks for getting back to me. I found another thread that suggested to wait a while and try again because something somewhere might be getting too many requests. I finally did that after it failed to complete about half a dozen times. Waited an hour or two and then it worked within seconds :slight_smile:

Thank you @mclardass. Tried a number of things to upgrade from a 1.x version without success. This worked perfectly. Extra points for providing the stpes and links. :star2:
