How to activate venv?

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,
please excuse thie rookie question, but I just started using HA (migrated from openhab).

I am using HAOS and have problems with the lupus alarmsystem integration, which seems to be a known issue ( Can not integrate Lupus XT2 Plus · Issue #73547 · home-assistant/core · GitHub.

To fix this I was asked by the creator of the github code to update the lupupy (base of the integration):

pip install lupupy -U

but to activate the venv prior to the upgrade:

But how do I do this?
Isn’t the virtual environment for pylon activated by default?

You help is greatly appreciated.

In HAOS you don’t have a venv.

Ok, ok.
Thank you.

But how can I upgrade the lupupy.py then?
If I run the upgrade as above I get:

➜  /usr pip install lupupy -U
Requirement already satisfied: lupupy in ./lib/python3.10/site-packages (0.1.9)

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv

So I am obviously root.
But I don’t see any of these files:
/usr/src/homeassistant/
See also my other thread here:
Lupusec integration won’t start - Configuration - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

Because I re-engineered the connection to the Lupusec system using curl (on openhab), I would like to look into the files to investigate.
(I did not find out yet, how to curl by http(s) to local webservices.)

What version of lupupy do you want?

5

the latest (0.1.9) as suggested in the github issue:

Can not integrate Lupus XT2 Plus · Issue #73547 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

In the meantime can you just change manually the required lupupy version in homeassistant/components/lupusec/manifest.json to 0.1.9.

But I don’t have any access to /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant to check

You should copy the integration code to custom components, then change the manifest.json to require 0.1.9, and also to add a version key. Then restart HA.

If you need a hand with that procedure, ask away.

In fact I think this should work. SSH into your system using the web terminal & ssh addon.

Then use this command

docker exec -it homeassistant bash

you are in the HA container, run the following

mkdir /config/custom_components/lupusec
cp /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/lupusec/* /config/custom_components/lupusec/

ctrl-d to exit.

nano config/custom_components/lupusec/manifest.json

Change the requirement line to

"requirements": ["lupupy==0.1,9"],

and add the following

"version": "1.0.0",

above the last line.
ctrl-x to exit and save

ha core restart

Thank you so much for your assistance!

this returns no matches found
and using ls- la /usr/src does not return anything - that’s what’s confusing me (might be related to docker, where I don’t have experience)

You did enter the first line to enter the docker container?

If so the haos container may have the files arranged differently.

find /|grep lupusec

Stupid me! Sorry!
Yes, I executed it, but got the response that the protection mode is active.
After disabling the protection mode for ssh / terminal, your procedure was successful.
Means, there is no error message in the logs anymore.
Thank you very much!

Now I just need to figure out how to access the Lupus entities, because there is no new device detected yet.
