Spook -Your homie

frenck · February 10, 2024, 10:41pm

Thanks! That is a bug in parsing repeat actions/sequences. Will ship a fix in the next patch

Bugfix PR: https://github.com/frenck/spook/pull/607

feel honored to see my mobile_app service being shown as example here.

Cool! I think it was still on my dev env from an earlier bug report

Hey there homie

I need your help! Spook will turn 1-year old on February the 23rd.

This is great, but I’m considering changing a thing or two and am looking for your opinion on the matter.

“Spook Not your homie”

This has been the slogan since the start. But I feel like he is actually many people’s homie nowadays.

Time to change it? More context and poll is here:

Next up is the license. Spook has been published with a Passive Aggressive License. Reason: One shouldn’t be using this custom integration; thus, the license forbids use.

Maybe we need to change this too? More context and poll here:

Would appreciate your vote and/or comment

…/Frenck

francisp · February 11, 2024, 5:43pm

I used it anyway, but a better license would be nice.

boheme61 · February 11, 2024, 6:27pm

Not sure i’ve ever read the license(or any) to the end, so im not sure how it would affect me

True he has been a “vital” part of my life for a while now, reminding and enlightening me ! ( No more commends in this regards )

Dunno if that’s My Homie, is they suppose do do so every day ?

SteffenDE · February 12, 2024, 2:47pm

How we can refresh or rerun repairs without restart ha?

Steffen

frenck · February 12, 2024, 4:12pm

You don’t have to. Each repair listens for changes that might affect them, and will retrigger themselves when those events occur.

seeing this repair:

even though the service is available:

Ive just updated to todays dev 2024.3.0.dev20240220 and supervisor 2024.02.1.dev1604, to test some other functionality, so maybe its causing some hiccup ?

or maybe it checked before the integration was loaded. never noticed this repair before, and it doesnt auto disappear after restart, so figured it might be worthwhile having a look before filing an issue

Gav_in · February 20, 2024, 1:38pm

FWIW, I’m observing the same “Ghost” repairs as Marius over last few days…for random automations and random services…perhaps there is a Spook about

Mats789 · February 20, 2024, 5:54pm

I also have seen this for entities that actually are available. Similar to this:

Spook: Repair: Available entities are announced as unavailable.

### What version of Spook are you using? 2.2.2 (latest) ### What version of Ho…me Assistant are you using? 2024.2.2 ### The problem Hi @frenck Since the last Update of spook I've a similar issue: I got this repair announcement about an unknown entity: <img width="595" alt="image" src="https://github.com/frenck/spook/assets/90566183/82ba6bfd-3883-4f55-8f2f-6e12d9d7810d"> but in developper tools this entity is known: <img width="1010" alt="image" src="https://github.com/frenck/spook/assets/90566183/c729eedf-3302-4b03-8a02-29e161d93330"> and in "Overview" it is also available: <img width="335" alt="image" src="https://github.com/frenck/spook/assets/90566183/90947b78-a369-4fc6-a7ea-ec8ec6916c49"> I've received this message after restart from update from 2024.2.1 to 2024.2.2. In former times, and also before last spook-update, I've received this message, too, but it was gone some seconds after restart of HA. On restart of HA, an automation will also restart the samba-addon, so for few seconds it might be possible, that spook recognize this entity as unavailable. But after the restart of the add-on it's available (as you can see in screen shots above). I think it's a bug in the last spook-update. ### Anything in the logs? Paste it here! ```plain text About this issue, there aren't any logs. ```

Mine keeps identifying my Alexa notification services as ghosts …

The service does work perfectly fine. Here’s how I tested the service:

Spook just saved me a lot of time and testing. I had to replace 8 smart light dimmers (Zigbee). I reused the device names, but that was not good enough for the automations in Home Assistant. Spook identified all updates I needed to do, and removed the notifications as soon as the correct update was saved.
Thank you, Franck!

v3.0.0

Birthday release!

Spook recently had his first birthday, and I’m celebrating that with some major changes that justifies this release to be a major release

Many have complained that Spook has an annoying license and an unfriendly tone that is discouraging and scary. Well, honestly, the scary part is a bit part of running custom integrations, I guess, the reason why he is a ghost in the first place… but… Agreed.

Therefore, as of today, Spook is MIT Licensed

And not just that, Spook is no longer “Not your homie”… as of today, Spook is your homie!

Yes, feel free to run it and use it. He is your friend.

Compatibility with Home Assistant 2024.5

This release fixes a few compatibility issues with Home Assistant 2024.5.
Upgrading Spook before Home Assistant is recommended but not critical.
If you swap the upgrade order, there will be no sweat!

Labels & Floors

Home Assistant 2024.4 brought your new organizational features: Floors & Labels.
This release of Spook adds support for those too!

Spook is able to detect the use of unknown labels & floors being used in your automations and script (and creates repairs for those), but also provides you a shitload of services that allows you to manage both floors and labels programmatically.

Read more about it in the label management and floor management documentation.

Changelog

There are many other small changes and improvements. Thanks everyone for contributing!

Dunno, I think I am still “scared” to update. Kidding.

frenck · April 30, 2024, 9:42pm

kbrown01 · April 30, 2024, 10:21pm

OK … ok … upgraded. Not scary at all. Now upgrading three other homes remotely as it is nearly one of the first things I install in any solution for my homes, winery and friends! And the fun begins for the new property in Italy managed from the US.

1mfaasj · May 4, 2024, 8:01pm

Is it possible that Spook checks the previous state of a sensor? If its unavailable for a time, lets say a day, it may report it?
Because now I get the same Spook warning everytime when my solax sensor isn’t gathering data (due to inverter offline during nights).
So yes the sensor is not available at this moment. But is back when the inverter gets online.

I can click on ignore but when I restart HA it gives me the same warning again.

Thanks
