Need a hand upgradeing to v4

Trying to upgrade from v3 to v4 and I’m having trouble starting, I get the following:

I thought it was a token problem so I created a new long lived token, as seen by the comments in the config. However both tokens don’t seem to work with the new version. Same error with both.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Need a hand please.

I only have one simple dashboard setup with a few buttons. Nothing to complicated.

Many thanks.

I see you are using Home Assistant (formerly hass.io). Did you read the instructions on the add-on page? This is from the official add-on docs

By default, this add-on ships without a token and without the ha_url in the appdaemon.yaml config file. This is not an error!

The add-on takes care of these settings for you and you do not need to provide or set these in the AppDaemon configuration.

This automatic handling of the URL and token conflicts with the AppDaemon official documentation. The official documentation will state ha_url and token options are required. For the add-on, these aren’t needed.

However, you are free to set them if you want to override, however, in general usage, that should not be needed and is not recommended for this add-on.

So you need to remove the lines “ha_url” and “token” because the add-on already handles this.

Yes I had tried that. but it threw another error, so I was trying different things. I got off on a tangent error and became stuck with that path.

With the config as:

Many thanks.

This looks “better” at least the connection to HA worked. I just saw that you are missing the http: part.
Add this to your appdaemon.yaml

http:
  url: http://127.0.0.1:5050

and remove this part from hadashboard:

dash_url: http://127.0.0.1:5050

This:

Needs to be like this:

That did it!

Many thanks for the help.

Edit: getting java errors opening dashboard pages, (just main page and hello dashboard) on chrome but all ok on firefox for some reason.

Glad that you got it to work :slight_smile:

Can’t help you on the java errors with the browsers.

Hello, I have a same problem.

Did you try adding the http section to appdaemon.yaml like this:

http: 
  url: http://127.0.0.1:5050

As I do not have a Hass plugin but pip install method, I had to add ha_url and token. Now it works.

You DO have a HASS plugin, your are just using a venv to install AppDaemon instead of the AppDaemon add-on for Home Assistant (formerly hass.io). That’s why your config is a bit different. The add-on handles the authentication to Home Assistant. I should have noticed, I somehow ignored the first part of your post and focused too much on your config.

Sorry, I mean I haven’t AppDaemon add-on.

I have similar issue.
I’ve been running AppDaemon 4 addon without problem and suddenly, it starts every 5 secs.
I need to stress that I did not change neither yaml files, nor appdaemon config, not even dashboards files.

Any advice pls?

For two days I’ve been searching for a solution to this problem. Came across your comment and thought, “no way”. I tried it and it worked. Thank you so much for posting this.
