2020-04-08 12:57:25 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Platform error: camera - Requirements for ha_skyfield not found: ['skyfield==1.15']

partofthething · April 9, 2020, 2:09am

In the optional configuration section listed here there are various options that you can put riht under platform: ha_skyfield in the config entry. So like:

camera:
    platform: ha_skyfield
    show_constellations: true

partofthething · April 9, 2020, 2:12am

Looks like the gcc compiler is missing. Maybe try installing the build-essential package with something like the following will fix?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

John_P · April 9, 2020, 7:51am

Stays the same problem

daxm · April 9, 2020, 8:45am

Should this work with hassio?

tom_l · April 9, 2020, 9:17am

No.

I spent a lockdown day on this today.

I got to the point where it was nearly running, then completely borked my docker container and had to remove it and start again - which of course completely reverted to the starting point. A brief outline of arriving at that point:

I am running HA core on docker with the following

docker run --restart unless-stopped  --init -d --name="home-assistant" -e "TZ=Pacific/Auckland" -v /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant:/config --net=host homeassistant/home-assistant:0.107.7

the essential problem is that the wheel files for matplotlib, cycler and kiwisaver on pypi do not seem to be compatible with the home assistant docker images. FAIL.
pip therefore tries to compile the necessary packages, but gcc is not present in the home assistant docker image, FAIL sigh
OK, well you can try to install stuff into the container - this will break when you next update home-assistant, but it should be reproducible and scriptable to instal into the next container, so let’s see.
Research reveals alpinelinux (which the docker images are based on) has packages for py3-cycler, py3-matplotlib and py3-kiwisaver. Excellent.
But hold on they are not in a repository that the container automatically has access to. sigh
Research the inner workings of the apk command and decide that this might work (obviously this is inside the container, reached by docker exec -it home-assistant /bin/bash)

bash-5.0# apk add s3-matplotlib s3-kiwisolver s3-solver --update-cache --allow-untrusted --repository  http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

  s3-matplotlib (missing):

  s3-solver (missing):

sigh no luck
OK let’s download the packages and try again

OK: 332 MiB in 176 packages

OK, that is looking positive, but the trouble is that matplotlib is only working with python3.8 and yet home-assistant docker image has python 3.7. sigh
OK let’s make the python binary link point to python 3.8 hint don’t, at that point home-assistant stops working and you have to delete the container and start it again and it comes back in a virgin state
At this point realise that I need to understand more about python versioning.

Foxxy · April 14, 2020, 9:29am

Had to suspend it as this was too heavy on my tiny RPI3+ install RAM resources
Nothing catastrophyic but still made me check status daily
But it worked OK and was nice to have…
Maybe time to move on to another HW as demands rise and wishes/ideas too.
Thnx to developer, still watching Your progress.
Best, JR

@partofthething Is matplotlib v3.1.2 really required?
I’ve tried to install without the version-requirement, the latest version, v3.3.1, installed just fine on my HA Core system (hassio). So did the latest versions of skyfield and numpy.

Unfortunately, with the latest matplotlib version there is an error when I try to check out the camera-picture:

Update: I’ve changed line 185 in bodies.py to:

np.linspace(0, 360.0, 9), ["N", "NE", "E", "SE", "S", "SW", "W", "NW", "N"]

Adding a 2nd “N” to make it 9 instead of 8 directions, matching the 9 in np.linspace.

And then, after restarting HA, it works!

Update 3:

After the change shown in the above post it’s fully working:

partofthething · August 23, 2020, 10:07pm

Beautiful! Thanks for the fixes. I merged the PR.

DavidFW1960 · August 23, 2020, 10:44pm

I’m assuming you don’t mean hassio/ha supervised? Core isn’t hassio/supervised. This still won’t work on supervised right?

b4ker · August 23, 2020, 11:48pm

Thanks for your great work!

Works perfect on my system.

How did you do this?

Download the prerequisites: pip3 install skyfield matplotlib numpy

b4ker · August 23, 2020, 11:55pm

Download the recent ha_skyfield folder (updated one hour ago) from GitHub and copy to custom_components folder
Add camera to configuration file.
And add entity to lovelace.
That’s it.

DavidFW1960 · August 23, 2020, 11:56pm

Just doing that now… I had tried previously and it didn’t work because those requirements were not met and couldn’t be installed. Awesome if this works now.

DavidFW1960 · August 24, 2020, 12:17am

This is great!
@tom_l did you see this?

Is this how I should configure it?

# Skyfield Custom Component https://github.com/partofthething/ha_skyfield
camera:
  - platform: ha_skyfield
    show_time: true
    show_constellations: true
    show_legend: true

DavidFW1960 · August 24, 2020, 12:39am

seem to be getting these fairly regularly

and the plot disappears…

ok I’m going to remove this… my HA keeps restarting…

tom_l · August 24, 2020, 3:02am

That doesn’t sound good.
