Thank you! This was very helpful.
Any update on this? This would be wonderful 
Not sure what you are asking?
Sorry, my quote failed! Edited it 
I was asking about the integration of the dashboard with homeassistant.
I’ve been trying to set up HAdashboard for a couple of days now and I’m still failing, so that would be a relief!
I’m getting ready to put out 3.0 of AD which is a complete refactor - it’s taken me a while to get through. One of the goals of this is to make the integration with HASS possible.So When I am through a short beta period, I’ll start looking at the integration in more detail. It won;t be immediate but I have made some huge steps in the right direction under the covers.

I’m very glad to hear it, thanks for your hard work.
I’d be happy to beta test if you’re looking for testers.
Thanks When the time comes for 3.0 (probably in the next couple of weeks) I’ll post a thread so that anyone who wants to can can help with the beta.

Count me in on the Beta as well, excited to hear about the upcoming release.

Has anyone managed to get HaDashboard running on HassIO? I have the appdaemon add-on V3, are there any changes needed to the add-on config other than the default?
{
"log_level": "info",
"commtype": "websockets",
"system_packages": [],
"python_packages": []
}Did you uninstall the v2? Do you have any error? Did you change the AppDaemon.yaml according to the docs?
I did get it to work, thanks. I saw there was an error file so went through that. I’ll go through the steps I took to get it working for the next person that has trouble and searches the forum.
I uninstalled V2 and only have V3 with default settings:
{
"log_level": "info",
"system_packages": [],
"python_packages": []
}
I made folder in the config folder called appdaemon. In there I made a folder called dashboard and another called apps.
I then have appdaemon.yaml at /config/appdaemon which has the following:
log:
logfile: /config/appdaemon/appdaemon.log
errorfile: /config/appdaemon/error.log
appdaemon:
threads: 10
app_dir: /config/appdaemon/apps
plugins:
HASS:
type: hass
ha_url: https://xxxxxx.duckdns.org:8123
ha_key: Secret
hadashboard:
dash_url: http://192.168.0.196:5050
dash_dir: /config/appdaemon/dashboards
dash_password: secret
In the apps folder, /config/apps I have two files. apps.yaml with the following:
hello_world:
module: hello
class: HelloWorld
And a file called hello.py:
import appdaemon.appapi as appapi
#
# Hellow World App
#
# Args:
#
class HelloWorld(appapi.AppDaemon):
def initialize(self):
self.log("Hello from AppDaemon")
self.log("You are now ready to run Apps!")
And finally, in the dashboards folder I have my panel file, called panel.dash:
##
## Main arguments, all optional
##
title: Hello Panel
widget_dimensions: [120, 120]
widget_margins: [5, 5]
columns: 8
label:
widget_type: label
text: Hello World
layout:
- label(2x2)
I know this was long but I think it will help others starting out.

anyone can help me, where i get a failure ?
@dion0511 I’m not using HADashboard currently but planning to use it, so i could not tell you for sure. But it looks like you are using a tab \t character on line 38 which triggers the error. I could not check this since you did not add the config as code block.
