So I was notified there was a new update for home assistant available. I went to install it and each new component was meet with this error:
Retrying (Retry(total=3, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None)) after connection broken by ‘ReadTimeoutError(“HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘www.piwheels.hostedpi.com’, port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=15)”,)’: /simple/homeassistant/
After it went through the components it uninstalled a few things and installed updated versions. Now I cannot get into my server - it doesn’t show up on the app (iOS; most recent version). I am running raspbian stretch in the python virtual environment. I have already updated the base os and that didn’t help. Also, have port 443 forwarded to my port 443 on the internal network of the router to the pi. I don’t have any other ideas minus reinstall the os and everything or delete the installation (not fully sure I know how to do this). Any other ideas?
This is most like a network error. Did you try ping www.piwheels.hostedpi.com to see if your pi can reach that address?
Since you have a virtual environment, re-installation is just a matter of deleting the virtual environment directory (or moving it if you want to be careful) and following the steps you did to create it again. It should be much quicker as all the files have already been downloaded (once you have the network problem sorted).
Thats a good idea. I did not try that. I tried seeing what I would get trying to visit that site on my macbook. I will give that a shot after work. Hopefully its a simple thing. If not, I can just reinstall the virtual environment like you said.
