Hello.py not working

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

I just installed AppDaemon 2.1.12 and I cannot seem to get hello.py to load. I followed the Installation doc for pip3 (running on Ubuntu 17.10) and I do not see any error so I am not sure where to go from here.

Log:

apps.yaml:

hello_world:
  class: HelloWorld
  module: hello

hello.py:

import appdaemon.appapi as appapi

#
# Hello World App
#
# Args:

class HelloWorld(appapi.AppDaemon):

    def initialize(self):
        self.log("Hello from AppDaemon")
        self.log("You are now ready to run Apps!")

appdaemon.yaml:

Any help would be appreciated

Did you follow the v2 instructoins? According to this post the current instructions are for v3

the problem is that the docs that are pointed to (latest) are now for the beta 3.0 version from appdaemon.
you need to use the docs from 2.1.12
http://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/2.1.12/index.html11

I did see that post and initially I was using the v3 docs. My appdaemon.yaml and hello.py above should match the 2.1.12 docs.

4

Do you see any errors in the logs?

5

No errors in the logs. The appdaemon.log contents are above, nothing in error.log

6

Looks like hello.py isn’t in the right place, also apps.yaml doesn’t seem to be picked up - where did you put them, and what command line are you using to run appdaemon?

7

Both hello.py and apps.yaml are in /home/kevin/homeassistant/conf

I have used both:

appdaemon -c /home/kevin/homeassistant/conf

And

sudo systemctl start [email protected]

I checked the logs again when I got home after restarting appdaemon and now it shows:

Do the warnings give any indication as to the problem?

The clock skew warnings are OK to ignore on startup - for thaty version of appdameon, apps.yaml beliongs in /home/kevin/homeassistant/conf but hello.py belongs in a subdirectory called apps under conf.

From the docs:

To add an initial test app to match the configuration above, we need to first create an apps subdirectory under the conf directory. Then create a file in the apps directory called hello.py

That is some egg on my face.

Working now. Thank you for pointing that out!

Now on to building some apps
