Problem downgrading/reverting to a previous version of HA

Installation
1

I’m having problems with 0.58 where the UI is really unresponsive, sometimes not updating at all and want to downgrade to 0.57.3 (I’ve had the same problem with the AIO installer and now Hassbian on 0.58).

I’ve tried these commands in Terminal

sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
sudo pip install homeassistant==0.57.3

But then I get the following error

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-1gRcfx/aiohttp/

Any idea on how to fix this so I can revert to 0.57.3?

If you are using hassbian, you have HA installed in a virtual environment using the homeassistant user.

Specifying a different version of HA is just like upgrading. You need to switch to homeassistant user, activate the virtual environment, and then run the pip command.

Ah, that’s it. Thanks for pointing that out!
