I cant seem to find the log file in the appdaemon dir

22

in your appdaemon.cfg should be this:

logfile = STDOUT
errorfile = /mnt/usbdrive/pi/HAlogs/appdasherror.log

app_dir = /home/pi/.homeassistant/apps/
dash_dir = /home/pi/appdaemon2/appdaemon/conf/dashboards

i got the log set to the screen, you should have it set to a file.
the foscam.py should be in the appdir
and i need to see the ouput from logfile and errorfile

23 
logfile = STDOUT
errorfile = STDERR
threads = 10
dash_dir = /home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/dashboards

dash_url = http://192.168.1.21:5050

I have no app_dir

24

set both logfile and errorfile to a file.

you could use:

/home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/app.log
/home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/apperror.log

for instance.

you need to create the line app_dir = ā€¦ then
or else appdaemon will never find any apps :wink:

so create the dir

/home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/apps

set the line to

app_dir = /home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon/conf/apps

and save the foscam.py in that dir

25

dont forget that you need to restart appdaemon after all this

27

you need to install untangle (says so at the info from the app :wink: )

pip install untangle

28

Ah yes. I had installed it but Iā€™m running HA and appdaemon in Virtualenv

29

so you had it installed at the wrong place?

does it work now?

30

No still the same error

31

Its getting late here. i need sleep. I will see whats wrong in the morning Thanks for now

32

you did install untangle while you were in the virtualenv?
because thats what you need.

oke i need to sleep also :wink:
good night.

33

Well it looks like I have untangle installed. But appdaemon is still not finding it.

(homeassistant) homeassistant@pine64:/home/debian$ pip install untangle
Requirement already satisfied: untangle in /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.4/site-packages
(homeassistant) homeassistant@pine64:/home/debian$
34

do you have appdaemon in the same virtual enviroment?
untangled should be in the same environment as appdaemon

35

I think so. How can I check?

Sorry Iā€™m still learning

36

i have no clue.
i dont work with virtual environments :wink:
i guess you should try to find out where you installed appdaemon.

i checked a few posts back and i see that your dir for appdaemon is:

/home/debian/appdaemon_dashboard

i got a feeling that is not inside your environment.
so you need to get out the environment and install untangle.

37

ā€˜pip3 install untangleā€™ will work wonders ā€¦ (pip3 iso just pip)

38

Would I need to be in virtualenv to run the pip3?

39

So Iā€™m really confused on why appdaemon can not find untangle. Did a bit of searching and tried installing again. Look at this:

debian@pine64:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.9
debian@pine64:~$ sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant

[sudo] password for debian:
homeassistant@pine64:/home/debian$ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
(homeassistant) homeassistant@pine64:/home/debian$ python --version
Python 3.4.2
(homeassistant) homeassistant@pine64:/home/debian$ pip3 install untangle

like i said, i get the feeling you didnt install appdaemon inside your virtual environment.
so try installing untangle outside the virtualenv.
