Trouble porting platform to new format - HA just hangs :-(

Development

HA Version : 0.93.2
Hey guys,

Im trying to port my wiser heating extension from the old “components” method to the new one… For some reason when I run HA , HA just doesnt start… No notable errors in the log files just doesnt start… If i remove the component reference in the configuration.yaml , it starts (sans the component)…

Im baffled… Any ideas??

the code is available at this branch in github https://github.com/asantaga/wiserHomeAssistantPlatform/tree/UseNewPyPi

the config file would look like this

wiser:
  host: 192.168.0.29
  password: xxxxxx
  scan_interval: 300
  boost_temp: 25
  boost_time: 30

Baffled…

I thought you need a manifest file too now.

Sorry yes you do. was an error in my .gitignore, it was ignoring manifest files…

note to self : dont reuse .gitignore files…

Pushed new version

thanks for looking BTW

Have you tried disabling all functionality in setup?

5

Robban, not sure what you mean… which setup? the one in the code?

6

Everything in def setup(hass, config):

i commented out everything in the setup(hass,config): method an its the same.
The only way HA starts is if it remove the reference to the platform from the config file…

8

Put the .py file in the root custom_components dir.

update!

I figured out whats causing it… Its the new manifest.json file. If i take the file out then it works!

After a lot of checking/comparing with another manifest file which does work I sussed it

I was missing the “dependencies”: [], section. without this instead of giving an error HA Startup just hangs…

logging an issue

shame it wasted 2 evenings :frowning:
