Any help?

@maurizio53 Delete the compiled folder in the /config/appdaemon/ directory, and try again

maurizio53 · January 16, 2020, 2:43pm

I don’t have a compiled folder inside /config/appdaemon directory.
Or at least i don’t see it…

frenck · January 16, 2020, 2:44pm

That is a pretty clear message to me…

maurizio53 · January 16, 2020, 2:45pm

@frenck

This is the tree of appdaemon folder
I tried to create that folder but it says it already exists, but i don’t see it…

frenck · January 16, 2020, 2:49pm

Check via SSH please.

maurizio53 · January 16, 2020, 2:53pm

Thanks… solved…

ReneTode · January 16, 2020, 7:27pm

@Mariusthvdb i think you better take it up with ludeus at another place.
this has nothing to do with the addon, and its also nothing that is caused by a breaking change that i know of.

maybe geopy is not compatible with python 3.8, or something there has changed, but i really cant tell.

Mariusthvdb · January 16, 2020, 7:31pm

ok I will, thanks.

not sure if it’s the add-on or the AD update itself, but either cause the app not to run anymore…
again, appreciate the effort you made!

baz123 · January 17, 2020, 5:17pm

Any suggestions as to how to make the ‘Open Web UI’ button work?

frenck · January 17, 2020, 5:23pm

SSL configuration for AppDaemon is not handled by the add-on, but by AppDaemon itself. See the AppDaemon manual for more information about configuring SSL.

This also means, Hass.io is not able to track if AppDaemon uses SSL or not, and thus the “OPEN WEB UI” button in the interface will never work for those cases.

baz123 · January 18, 2020, 7:37am

Ok thanks. Is it possible to configure AppDaemon so it does work?

I’ve seen the HTTP Component section of the docs and it refers to this being a ‘Unified Frontend’ - is this the same as the Web UI?

That section refers to dash_ssl* settings - do those work for the Unified Frontend or just the dash?

What is the relationship between the HTTP Component and the ha_url - are they one and the same? Or is the ha_url the Open Web UI url?

frenck · January 18, 2020, 8:27am

The “OPEN WEB UI” button will only work with the default setting. It cannot act upon changes in AppDaemon. If you enable SSL, the button won’t work and there is no way to make it work.

Yes. (Port 5050 by default).

It is a unified frontend, it applied to all elements mentioned in the HTTP documentation. (AppDaemon’s Admin Interface, HADashboard, and the AppDaemon API).

No, ha_url is the Home Assistant instance URL AppDaemon itself will connect to in order to communicate with Home Assistant, it has nothing to do with the OPEN WEB UI button.

TL;DR: With SSL enabled, the button won’t work and can’t be fixed.

crowbarz · January 19, 2020, 1:03pm

I haven’t been able to configure AppDaemon to serve SSL either, for me the browser times out when trying to send an https query to port 5050. So I logged an issue against AppDaemon for this.

Once SSL is enabled on AppDaemon, you should be able to add a panel_iframe to the HA config and and use that to access AppDaemon via https, instead of the the Open Web UI button that is hard coded to use http. (Ironically, panel_iframe doesn’t support the embedding of http sites like AppDaemon without SSL enabled if you are accessing HA via https.)

@frenck I get and agree that the addon framework shouldn’t be interacting with configs for the underlying addon itself, but is it possible to add an addon config option that the user can set manually to indicate whether they themselves have configured AppDaemon for SSL or not, and if so the Open Web UI button should use https instead of http?

frenck · January 19, 2020, 5:00pm

The open web ui button is hardcode and can only respond to addon option, there isn’t one. Not in the Hassio world, only in the appdaemon world. You can configure appdaemon for ssl, that works, you’ll loose the working button.

This is not fixable and has been this way for the past 2 years, including all previous appdaemon addons.

I investigated for adding Hassio ingress to appdaemon, but the appdaemon frontend code simply doesn’t allow for it. It handles web sockets in an unfriendly way for reverse proxies and all assets are loaded in various ways.

This is what it is for the addon, and where it ends as well at this point.

latest AD update to 4.0.1 seems to have improved the handling of the address.py app mentioned above. So posting here again.

Finally I see a

2020-01-21 08:46:50.130904 INFO address: Updating state for device_tracker.life360_name

in the log. It still isn’t as responsive as under AD3, and the updating isn’t as frequent as state change would have it to be. Nor does a subsequent update keep a reverse coded address in the device_trackers state…

Will add this to the GitHub too, to track progress

reverting to AD3 again, and all is good. At least that shows that updating HA to 104.2 isn’t the culprit.

@frenck Hi, is it somehow possible to do sensor like below? If I try to do this for this addon like http://192.168.1.24:8123/api/hassio/addons/a0d7b954_appdaemon/info it does not work/create sensor.

For appdaemon3 it worked well (http://192.168.1.24:8123/api/hassio/addons/a0d7b954_appdaemon3/info).

Thank you in advance for your help…

I’m new to appdaemon.
I’ve installed the hass.io add on for appdaemon 4.

But getting this in the logs:

1

Any ideas?

ReneTode · February 13, 2020, 12:24pm

exactly as the error says:

No such file or directory: '/config/appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml'

and that is the needed configuration file from appdaemon.
