How to get rid of these warning?

Configuration
1

I noticed these Supervisor logs always present…

Is that a kind of “normal”? or does it mean that I have some wrong configuration?
Sorry but it is unclear…

Hi Stefano Panzetta,

I’m pretty sure it tells you clearly in the warning messages.
I didn’t see an error message.

3

Does it mean that all HA users that is using MQTT has that warning message in his logs?

It seems impossible that nobody reported this to the “to the maintainer of…”

4

Maybe they have an update for you. I don’t know, but if you think they know they may have fixed it already.

5

If they use the same HA and integration/addon version as you…Yes.

Deprecations are announced 6 months before they take final effect, unless they are coming from third party in which case there are no standard.
Some maintainers rush to clear up the deprecations, while others implement them with the next normal update.
There are also maintainers that are more “lazy” in their approach and then there are integrations/addons without maintainers.

Thanks for the reply…

AFAIK MQTT is widely used… that’s why I was suprised about that…

7

it is, but

is not

I can’t even find this addon. Can you take a screenshot of all the addons you have installed in settings → addons?

As a sidebar, when I google home assistant "MQTT Importer" only 3 links show up. 2 of them are links to supervisor logs you’ve posted in the past, the 3rd is to someone else’s supervisor logs. What is this mystery addon?

8

I I am a little bit confused now
I just have MQTT Mosquitto broker so cannot understand that warning related to MQTT importer…
Also the other one (SVPN) don’t know from where it comes from… unless it refers to duckdns which I have

9

Can you screenshot your addon page please?

10

You migrated from a Pi3 to a Pi5, right? And I’m assuming you restored a backup when you did.

If so, do you remember ever installing some addons with those names in the past?

11

Right… and I always had those warning from day one but since there was other bigger problems with PI3A+ I didn’t take care too much…
Now that with PI5 everything works perfectly I only have those 2 warning which I wanted to understand and eventually fix…
Addons are always the same … see screenshot

Next time please provide that context when raising an issue. No one would have known your history or the fact it’s an old issue if I hadn’t asked you.

Let’s start with the most obvious one. Can you stop the ring-mqtt addon and fully reboot HA? Do the mqtt errors go away?

14

Sorry but I really thought this was a known issue since MQTT is “famous”… that’s why I didn’t explain I have it from long time (I didn’t give too much importance to it)
Now I am discovering that apparently it’s only me… or anyway it’s not so diffused…
I will see if with ring-mqtt off it will stop…
In any case you have to agree that those warning are not so clear (the other one, OpenVPN client is also unclear from who comes… maybe from duckdns??)

15

And thanks for giving help
Really appreciated…

16

Openvpn is unlikely to be duckdns

17

So it’s another strange situation…
Don’t have any OpenVPN addon… where it comes from that message??

18

Just found exactly the same 2 warning (MQTT Importer and OpenVPN client) into an issue reported here…

This user is also running on RPI … maybe it’s common to HAOS?

19

The post you linked to might give a clue. Right above his errors, the system was updating a bunch of addon repositories like:

Update add-on https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository repository

Can you go back to your logs and paste all the repositories your system is trying to update on startup? I have a feeling that it’s picking up deprecated addons from some abandoned repository.

20

That’s a good catch :wink:
Here is my addon repository list…
