Hassbian and HeyU Configuration File

Configuration
1

Hi everyone. I’m running Hassbian with HeyU, but I can’t get Hassbian to recognize HeyU. I get this error

2017-09-04 15:17:21 ERROR (Thread-6) [homeassistant.components.light.x10] b’Unable to find Heyu configuration file.\n’

I’m thinking Hassbian is looking in the wrong directory for the HeyU config file. Does anyone know how to change that? HeyU works from Putty manually, so I know the pi is communicating with the lights.

Also I have Honeywell Total Connect which has been working when I was using Hassio, but even after I downloaded the dependencies, Hassbian won’t load at all if I have total connect in the config.yaml file.

I just encountered the same issue. I think the problem is that HA is running as the homeassistant user and not as the default pi user. What I did was to switch users:

sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant

Then create a .heyu directory there with a link to the original:

cd
mkdir .heyu
cd heyu
ln -s /home/pi/.heyu/x10config x10config

I didn’t need this on the old version I was using before, but that was set up ages ago. With this I see my lights on HA. I can turn them on, but not off from there. I think this was a problem before too. Now I need to get the automations working.
