Depending on how you’ve set up home assistant your systemd script might go by a different name or you don’t use one at all. Just comment the line After: ... and try again.
You have to change user and activate the venv:
$ sudo su -s /bin/bash appdaemon
$ source /srv/appdaemon/bin/activate
$ cd ~/. appdaemon

All i see is the following:
appDaemon: Unexpected error refreshing default state - retrying in 10 minutes

Any ideas what this means?
thats no normal appdaemon logging, but it shows that AD is in an errorstate.
i suggest that you set actual logs, so you know how to find it.
Sorry, but I don’t get what you mean…
Not sure what your systemd script looks like but it should be similar to this:
/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
[Unit]
Description=AppDaemon
[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/srv/appdaemon/bin/appdaemon -c "/home/%i/.appdaemon/conf/"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
@cgtobi It’s actually the same as the on in your first post. Should I be removing the ‘requires’ and ‘after’ lines?
I’ve now commented out the “requires” and “after” line and am getting a bit nearer. The logs now read as follows:

Why is root the owner of your /home directory?
that is a sign that appdaemon is started correct.
now you have to add apps to the apps directory.
@Burningstone /home is normally owned by root. thats nothing to be concerned about
Yeah you are right.
I’m a bit confused by the error message. Shouldn’t the config dir be something else than just /home?
the warning tells us that a parent dir from config isnt owned by the user that runs appdaemon.
so in this case no concern.
but i looked a bit more and saw that
/home/appdaemon/.appdaemon/conf is used but there is no apps dir inside that dir.
I’d mistakenly added the apps directory on the same level as conf and not as a sub directory of conf. However, I’m still not seeing the expected results from my 2 appdaemon apps (1 was installed via HACS). I’ll post some log entries soon.
This may be a problem. HACS has a standard directory where it moves the apps to when you install them, did you make sure that the files are in the app dir you configured now?
Can you please show the app and the configuration for the other app which was not added through HACS? Did you see anything in your appdaemon log for the apps you added, if so please post the log?
So, this is my log output after restarting appdaemon:

As I mention in the other thread were you also posted the question, you are trying to run an Appdaemon 4 app and you are running Appdaemon 3. You need to install Appdaemon 4 if you want to use that app.
Ok, I just followed the guide at the top of this thread. I assumed that would have installed the latest version of appdaemon.
@renetode Is Appdaemon 4 released or still in beta?
@Phill_Healey, please look for the install instruction for Appdaemon 4 and it should work.
It’s still beta.
