HADashboard disabled in Hassbian

Third party integrations HADashboard
1

I’ve just switched from hass.io to hassbian.
I’ve installed Appdaemon using hassbian-config install appdaemon
All seemed to go ok, but I can’t access the web interface on port 5050.
This is the output of my log:

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I got this sorted.
I appdaemon.yaml, hadashboard had to be HADashboard.

After fixing that I had a couple of issues with folders missing
Hassbian config created a folder in /home/homeassistant/appdaemon
From that the following folders were missing:
/home/homeassistant/appdaemon/compiled
/home/homeassistant/appdaemon/compiled/javascript
/home/homeassistant/appdaemon/compiled/css

HADashboard now runs, next issue is to work out why the dashboard I had in hassio looks completely wrong in hassbian. non of the color settings are applied to widgets and some text doesn’t align the same.
It’s all a learning curve!

thats a skin problem.
some variables that are needed are not in the skin you use

Thanks. I’ve got it almost working.
When I ran in Hass.io, I had widget size as 60x60 and doubled most of these, so they were effectively like a standard 120x120 widget. This was so I could have front panel style displays that showed currently playing program, but the text now sits below the widget, css issue I suspect but don’t know where to change it. I changed it for my specific dashboard css but it keeps overwriting.
Will post pictures later it might explain better!

My other issue I’m left with is the dashboard isn’t updating in hassbian, and I can’t turn lights on and off from it.
Slow but steady progress :slight_smile:

make your skin work (by adding the right variables to variables.yaml) and then the dashboard looks like you had it.

Thank you. I shall give that a try when I got home from work later. Really appreciate the assistance.
