Hi, I searched for a lot on google but I haven’t found a solution, this is the content of the logs.

2019-03-19 20:20:43 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker] Unable to load /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/known_devices.yaml: Config file not found: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/known_devices.yaml
2019-03-19 21:20:43 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.updater] Got unexpected response: None

Any idea?

Thanks

Can you share your config? Especially the bits about your device_trackers

So you don’t have device trackers?
Can you confirm you have a file called known_devices.yaml in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/
If so, make a backup copy and try to delete it.

5

No and I don’t have any files known_devices.yaml in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/

6

that’s weird. SSH to your ha folder and type touch known_devices.yaml
then restart HA and see if it makes a difference…

7

I had to add sudo to touch it, however the same errors remain in the logs. I also tried to change user and group of known_devices.yaml but nothing to do…

8

Perhaps someone can tell you what to check but this seems to be a permissions problem. I wouldn’t think you would need to use sudo in your home directory.

It may be that Home Assistant can’t create the files it needs to because it doesn’t have the correct file permissions. This might explain the odd error messages.
