The addons are no longer accessible through exposed ports, they now use the ingress functionality. To access them you currently go to the Hass.io page, navigate to the addon, and press the button to open the web ui.
In a future update there will be a button to add new options to the left hand nav bar to replace the panel_iframes
Well I got a bit of sleep but I did not solve my issues. I still have a lot to do to get things working again (I see it more as a waste of time than an interlective expanding experience). I’m not the type interested in why it is working - I’m more into prevent situations like this where well working environments goes totally wrong by doing simple upgrades. I see the art of software development being improving user experience over adding new features and functions that for a while will “kill” good user experiences. Seamless feature and function improvements is more impressive for me than being an expert into deep feature and function developments where the user experience is totally neglected.
From a behaviorist scientific point of view my experience last night was total punishment and no reinforcement at all. This will only prevent me and others (I don’t think I’m the only one) from making updates and upgrading systems. And this cannot be in the interest of the software developers (the improve’rs) . It most be frustrating for these people to know that their effort of doing software improvements is wasted or not used.
A cynical aspect could be that some are interested in users not upgrading and thereby making their systems more vulnerable. Who have interest in this?
Probably the best thing in this case, is to rollback from a snapshot, hopefully from the day before the upgrade, and then, before proceeding to a new one, read all the breaking changes for all versions and sub-versions that there were from the installed version and the target one, and prepare all the stuff needed to avoid issues.
The title of this thread seems too strong than the reality.
I had a similar situation with my node-red.
After a restart didn’t solve it I did this:
Backed up my node-red folder
Copied my add-on config
Unintalled the add-on
Reinstalled add-on
Pasted my add-on config back in and started the add-on
That worked for me. You shouldn’t need to back up the node-red folder, uninstalling the add-on doesn’t remove any flow data etc. It was just a precaution.
Hi Woody - you are right the title seems strong - but never the less fixes could be minor but impact of things stop working is righter frustrating. But the term “breaking changes” should be called “fatal changes”. I see this team “breaking changes” being used a lot in my professional life. And here I call these potential business harming changes fatal.
You are totally right about ways to either role back changes or ways to test impact in an safe environment before major role out. It was actually what I would like to hear more about from others. How can I make an “testing environment” for testing impact of future updates before “messing up” my operating hassio environment. There is NO WAF in a not working hassio environment. The wife might start to shout: “Give me Google Home, Alexa or Apple Home in stead of this annoying technical crap”. And that’s a shame don’t you think Hassio-follows ?
I am still learning and am developing upgrade theories to increase my system stability.
The current one I want to try is to only upgrade to .2 or later, being sure to read the release notes in between for breaking changes. I understand that in 0.92.x we are supposed to have an option to choose to set up addons in the menu automagically. That means I will wait for 0.92.2 before upgrading.
