Oh, then yes, that is normal. If your notifications are set to send any state change, then you’ll get flooded. When AppDaemon starts up, the states for everything will briefly go to unavailable and then update to the correct state.
Ok, that makes sense thank you. Do you use zwave ? if you do what usb dongle are you using?
The Zooz ZST10
I’m still using my homeseer g3, I think is made by silicon labs for them. Just got new zooz ZST39LR not sure if that was right choice since its a 800 series. probably should went with something like your 700 series. I dont want to redo my entire network and I’m having hard time restoring from back up
Yep. Just was reading the GitHub issue around NVM restore not working for the 800 series chip yet.
Hi
I’m trying to set this up but have HA setup up in a container environment. I have a MQTT broker and app daemon setup\s in seperate containers. The broker can be entered into the MQTT config in HA and it sees it. I copied over the qolsysgw folder from the HA container to the appdaemon container config folder over but it doesn’t ever see qolsysgw in the appdaemon gui which in turn makes the overall solution work.
Does anybody have any suggestions or guidance?
Thank you!
Disregard the above, I set it all up in it’s own VM and it’s working great!
@FriedCheese thanks for providing this. The other page was confusing but this one helped a lot. However, I am only 95% of the way there. Could you help with the last bit?
It seems after doing all this I am still not getting any entities to appear. When I open the appdaemon web UI it says “terminated” for QolsysGateway. 0 callbacks.
Some things to check.
Check the AppDaemon add-on logs to see if there are any errors. Doublecheck that everything is enabled on the panel. Reboot the panel.
Appdaemon log says “no data available.” The panel enables control 4 and then 10 minutes later disables it. I called technical support and they said it may be timing out because nothing connects to it. Is there a way to actually get home assistant and the panel to sync? I rebooted the panel several times and also home assistant.
@FriedCheese I more than likely am not fully understanding something to do with either the client host/client port, or the panel host etc. What exactly do I have to enter for the client host and client port? How do I find the client host? I copied and pasted your coding but maybe mine is wrong. Your instructions said something about host IP address. This is what I have in my (addon_configs/_appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml.) file. Should it be different in any way?
MQTT:
type: mqtt
namespace: mqtt
client_host: core-mosquitto
client_port: 1883
client_user: UUUUUUU
client_password: XXXXXXXXXX
Where, of course, UUUUUU = my username and XXXXXX is my password.
Maybe this will help:
The section you’re configuring above is to tell AppDaemon how to connect and forward the information from the panel to the MQTT Broker. So the client/host you have are correct.
Back to the logs…you should definitely have any logs for AppDaemon. Are you sure the add-on is running?
@FriedCheese oh sorry I thought you meant in the appdaemon UI there is a tab that says “logs” and it is blank. If I go into the appdaemon add on I DO have errors. Here is what I am seeing:
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientResponseError: 502, message=‘Bad Gateway’, url=URL(‘http://supervisor/core/api/services’)
I also am getting some interesting lines that aren’t errors but probably important:

It says this several times.
And you have the apps.yaml for AppDaemon updated?
qolsys_panel:
module: gateway
class: QolsysGateway
panel_host:
panel_token:
panel_mac:
panel_user_code:
arm_away_exit_delay:
arm_stay_exit_delay:
arm_away_bypass: true
arm_stay_bypass: true
---
hello_world:
module: hello
class: HelloWorld
qolsys_panel:
module: gateway
class: QolsysGateway
panel_host: xxxxxxxx (IP address)
panel_token: xxxxxxx (token)
This is all I have in the whole apps.yaml file. @FriedCheese
To be clear this is in my apps.yaml file. Not the appdaemon.yaml.
And you have a qolsysgw folder under /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/?
Yes I have that qolsysgw folder in that file.
Was I supposed to have more in the apps.yaml file?
I don’t think so. I’m not sure what the issue is.
Can you post or send your entire AppDaemon.yaml?
