Moved to Ubuntu platform now somethings dont work (LIFX)

Configuration
1

Hi all,

Im fairly new to linux and HA. I was running HA on a raspberry pi, and eventually had some issues with the SD card. I decided to start a fresh and install HA on my ESXI server instead using ubuntu 16. Everything went pretty smoothly, i copied over my old YAML files, and everything is back to normal. I noticed though that the effects calls on for my LIFX globes no longer function.

Why would this be?

I did notice (but not sure if it makes a difference), that the version of HA that is installed is 0.53.1. Could this be the issue?

I tried to updating using ‘pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant’, but after that everything broke, and im not linux savvy enough to know what went wrong or how to fix it. So i rolled back to the previous backup

Thanks for any help

Also, i checked out the logs. What does all this mean?:

That is a version mismatch, I’m not sure how you could end up with that.

Try ‘pip3 install aiolifx==0.5.4’ to get a version that works with HA 0.53.1.
