I just updated my old system to Hassian 0.96.5. Unfortunatly when I select the Philips_Hue Integration it doesn’t do anything. I’m able to install other Integrations but not the Hue. Any ideas as to why the Hue Integration is failing? It doesn’t tell me it’s failing… it just does nothing and returns to the Integation menu. Thanks so much.
Home Assistant OS latest is version 6.1 Home Assistant latest is version 2021.6.6. There was likely a Home Assistant Core 0.96.5 but that would date back to 2 years ago.
There used to be a Hassbian installation option for HA but that was retired long ago. I do not know of a Hassian
Right… hassbian. I know I’m using an old version but the hassio implementation doesn’t, I believe, allow one to run custom python scripts… which I need to do.
I believe the shell_command integration allows it, provided that one understands the python script will be executed within the Home Assistant container (not in the underlying OS). Therefore all file paths are as they appear inside the container and the python interpreter will be the container’s instance.
shell_command:
whatever:
python3 /config/python_scripts/something.py
Sure, but you basically have a Home Assistant Core install there, that you can update easily enough.
Your only challenge is that you need to build and install Python 3.9 then rebuild the venv.
I’d strongly recommend you upgrade to something current, if only so people can help you.
That aside, the log file may/should contain information to help you.

To avoid the Python upgrade treadmill I am using Home Assistant Container with a local Docker volume. That makes it easy to upgrade by replacing the container.
I avoid the Python upgrade treadmill & venv complexity. HA Core is basically the same as you are running but without the Hassbian scripts.
Yeah, I guess I should make it current. I think my mistake with the old system is that I allowed the hue bridge to auto update. I shouod have locked everything down to ensure nothing changed. Thanks.
