Favor please testing something for appdaemon

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

The following code works for me, but it failed for some others. I was wondering if a few of you using appdaemon, could run this from your appdaemon apps directory and see if it works for you? It should just reach over to HA and get your location configuration information. I’m trying to figure out why it works for some and not others.

from homeassistant.util import location 

def loadHAconfig():
    haConfig={}
    locinfo=location.detect_location_info()
    haConfig["IP"]=locinfo.ip
    haConfig["country_code"]=locinfo.country_code
    haConfig["country_name"]=locinfo.country_name
    haConfig["region_code"]=locinfo.region_code
    haConfig["region_name"]=locinfo.region_name
    haConfig["city"]=locinfo.city
    haConfig["zip_code"]=locinfo.zip_code
    haConfig["time_zone"]=locinfo.time_zone
    haConfig["latitude"]=locinfo.latitude
    haConfig["longitude"]=locinfo.longitude
    haConfig["metric"]=locinfo.use_metric
    return haConfig

hainfo=loadHAconfig()
print("hainfo={}".format(hainfo))

I got this error:

do you have a $PYTHONPATH environment variable set in the environment where you ran this?

(hass) hass@hass:~/code/appdaemon$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
(hass) hass@hass:~/code/appdaemon$

4

No. Also, I am running this a the pi user, not as the hass user.

5

Try it as the hass user please

6

where do you run appdaemon from?

7

From /home/pi/appdaemon

8

ok run it from pi, but add a pythonpath variable to point to where your python libraries are installed
probably /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages

9

Same error.

10

If you look in that directory, do you have directories similar to the following?

hass) hass@hass:~/code/appdaemon$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/home*

There’s no homeassistant directory at that path. I am running a pre-December 2016 AIO install if that helps.

12

Ok, that explains a few things. Now to figure out where the python libraries are on your system… Login as your homeassistant user and see if it’s in there then?

13

Not sure I understand what you mean here.

14

the user you run home assistant as. I’m not familiar with the AIO install so I’m kind of flying blind here. But the library where the python libraries are for python is probably where we need to be.

15

Yeah I got the part about which user, I wasn’t understanding what to do once I was logged in. The ls command is going to show the same thing no matter which user I’m logged in as, right?

16

I’m not sure. If it does a virtual environment kind of thing it might not.

17

Can’t seem to find it. I thought this might be the path:

/srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages

But when I set the PYTHONPATH to this it still failed with the same error, even though this seems to match the contents of the example you gave:

ok, very strange. I’m gonna have to get on the developers board and figure out what they are doing…
Thanks

NP. Hope it helped.

I put the file in my apps directory of my test box and got this in the log file with no errors

2017-01-30 17:17:20.013334 INFO Reloading Module: /home/homeassistant/.homeassis
tant/apps/haconfig.py

Is that a successful test?

edit:
I have no PYTHONPATH, but appdaemon and hass are both running in the same virtual env.
