Problem with new version homeassistant 0.84.x and variable component

Configuration

Hello
I am using home-assistant with the variable component since a year without problem. But when I try to upgrade from HA 0.83.3 to 0.84.3, the variable component breaks and I got the following error:

I am using pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant to upgrade on a raspbian strech
Linux homeassistant 4.14.34-v7+ #1110 SMP Mon Apr 16 15:18:51 BST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Did the new release work with the variable component ?

Thanks for any advice

This works
Comment out line 14 of variable.py
#from homeassistant.helpers.restore_state import RestoreEntity

Save reboot HA and then uncomment and reboot.

This seems to work for me.

There’s a pull request that fixes this. Updated file here:

Yes that’s the one I was having trouble with.
Download it yesterday.

Thanks for the reply
In order to have a working variable component, I have download and install the variable.py as pointed out by aetolus

I have also to use a long token in appdaemon.yml to connect appdaemon with home-assistant.

With these 2 modifications, version 0.84.3 of HA is now working
Thanks

I’ll wait until it’s “officially” fixed by the maintainer I guess
