iOS notifications and component not configured after restore

I’ve done that as well.

I know. Nothing seems to be changing.

Do it in this specific order:

  1. delete/rename ios.conf and delete the ios integration from the configuration/integrations/ios page
  2. delete and reinstall the app
  3. keep the app open on the app settings page
  4. restart HA
  5. go to integrations and set up ios.

Thanks Tom. I’ve done that. Still the same.

I’ve now put back the SD card with the instance I made the snapshot from and all is good. No need to do anything with the app. It all just works.

Only difference is 0.81.6 Hassio and MQTT 3.

I’m glad you got it working.

I’m becoming less of a fan of integrations. I had a heck of a time when I upgraded my phone recently (deleting the old and getting notify to work with the new). Then I had a problem with an auto discovered Wemos D1 mini (had to delete all of them to fix one). Then I never could get sonoff discovery to work, though I explained what I did for another user and it worked perfectly for them.

Well, it’s not really working as I needed.

I started this morning with creating a new SD card with Hassio and then restoring a saved snapshot.

I’m loathe to update HassIO and Mosquitto MQTT directly onto my working system after all of the pain I suffered from the recent MQTT débâcle. I was just trying it out whilst keeping a fully working version.

Like you, I’m not a fan of integrations, discovery or auto updates. I have around 80 MQTT devices and 40 ish other Wifi devices integrated with Home Assistant. When it all goes wrong it’s a real headache.

I appreciate all of the help.

Seems like the image you pulled this morning isn’t complete or you didnt allow it to fully update. Wipe the drive and start over. Bring a copy of the .ios.conf from the working setup too just in case.

For what it’s worth, i did this the other day without using snapshot and just dragging and dropping the files and it worked. The only difference is I had to re-setup all the add-ons.

I’ll give it another go though that was the process I followed. It was just the ios.conf file that was missing and I copied it across.

I just extracted all of the files from the snapshot and the ios.conf file is in there but with zero bytes.

That might be by design. Whats troubling is that you delete it and nothing is fixed. To me that seems like an issue with the install. This is all conjecture though.

I’m now at a complete loss with this.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday a couple of days trying to get my iOS notifications back.

New RPi, new sd card, new hassio build from scratch. Nothing.

I just now deleted my iOS integration on my master system and for the first time got a message saying restart to complete the deletion.

Restarted. I now have no iOS integration and my notifications are back!

Flakey to say the least.
