If you have https configured you must yous the full name that is in the cert not the IP address or you will get errors.

@aimc
Sorry I should have said I have changed the address for pubic reasonsā€¦ I forgot that with HTTPS tags it would appear wrong.

hapush.cfg

ha_url = "https://hass.domain.com:8123"
ha_key = API-Key-Here
dash_host = "http://10.3.6.250:3030"
dash_dir = "/home/pi/hadashboard/dashboards"
logfile = "/etc/hapush/hapush.log"

ha_confi.rb

 $ha_url = "https://hass.domain.com:8123"
 $ha_apikey = "API-Key-Here"

 $news_feeds = {
 "Traffic" => "http://api.sr.se/api/rss/traffic/2863",
 "News" => "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml",
 }

I get the error in hapush regardless if Iā€™m using HTTP or HTTPS and with or without an API key.

Edit: Doing a full wipe and reinstall of everything again to see if it fixes it (on my backup SD):slight_smile:

I am getting error on version 1.9.0 any idea?

scheduler caught exception:
undefined method `gsub' for nil:NilClass

Looks like you don;t have sensor.dark_sky_icon configured in your hass instance.

828

Not sure you are replying to me or not. If you are then where do you see the dark_sky_icon in my posted error? I donā€™t have any trigger set on that sensor. Again sorry if you are not replying to me.

829

I was :slight_smile: For the dashboard it is a requirement to have many of the dark sky sensors configured - the docs should have details. It wasnā€™t in the error, it was in the code (lines 307 and 308):

	response = ha_api("states/sensor.dark_sky_icon", "get")
	icon = response["state"].gsub(/-/, '_')
830

I assume I can ignore that error if I donā€™t want weather on my dashboard correct?
I read history.md about this in breaking changes:

Breaking Changes:
Weather will not work unless Home Assistant is updated to use the Dark Sky component

Thanks

831

if you dont want darksky weather (like me) you can edit homeassistant.rb in the jobs directory.
at the bottom you can take out the whole weather schedule part.

832

Update report: rebuilt the Raspberry Pi from the ground up and in doing so discovered the error and it wasnā€™t until I looked at the default config for hapush that I discovered it :rage:

The error was in my hapush config and now I see it it was so simple, shame it took me 3 days to work it out!!!

My original hapush.cfg

ha_url = "https://hass.domain.com:8123"
ha_key = API-Key-Here
dash_host = "http://10.3.6.250:3030"
dash_dir = "/home/pi/hadashboard/dashboards"
logfile = "/etc/hapush/hapush.log"

The correct config for hapush.cfg
> ha_url = ā€œhttps://hass.domain.com:8123ā€
> ha_key = API-Key-Here
> dash_host = ā€œ10.3.6.250:3030ā€
> dash_dir = ā€œ/home/pi/hadashboard/dashboardsā€
> logfile = ā€œ/etc/hapush/hapush.logā€

ā€œdash_host=ā€ cannot be HTTP:// or HTTPS://.

Thanks to everyone that helped out, Iā€™m just glad to have got it working. On a plus note I now have a nice clean install with regular backups. Special thanks to @aimc for bringing the community this content :slight_smile:

Glad you figured it out - I should have made it a bit more consistent I guess :wink:

834

Need a little help. Running on Ubuntu 14.04 - I get errors when I execute ā€œdashing startā€, but the dashboard is accessible on port 3030. Unfortunately, only the clock widget works though. I did verify the state data is available via the API from HA.

Any ideas what is missing and causing the errors based upon the following:
udooer@udooneo:~/hadashboard$ dashing start

Iā€™m also a little confused on where I specify the sensor name to tie the widget to the HA sensor. Do I change the erb file or the widget files to make the sensor names match?

Thanks in advance,

835

No blame to be had - just one of those thingsā€¦
At least now I have documented every working step and every working command from new Base image to working hadashboard and hapush.

Just the final step now getting to run at boot and document the process this bit should be easy though its been covered multiple times in this thread

Iā€™ll make a backup just in case though :smiley:

@aimc Is it be possible to get hadashboard to work on https?

836

Iā€™ve never done it but I don;t see why not - the underlying webserver thin supports SSL, but youā€™d need to figure out how to add certificates etc. Another possibility would be to use nginx to proxy it for you.

837

i had that same error when i first started using dashboard.
i ended up taking out the weather part in homeassistent.rb (because i didnt use it anyway)

838

Perfect, I will do that, thanks.

839

You can fix the weather widget loading issue like this:

Be aware I have split my configuration.yaml into separate *.yaml files as shown below. So you may need to add it to your configuration.yaml

sensor: !include sensor.yaml

840

i dont think its wise to add unwanted sensors to hass and hide them, just to get dashboard running without errors.

i think that taking it out of the job is more wise.

@aimc in a future release could the weather be optional? (a check if it exists, and if not ignore to avoid errors)

841

To be honest i donā€™t really hide them, I just donā€™t display them any where, oneday maybe theyā€™ll have a use

842

if you dont hide them they show up in the frontend. that would annoy me :wink:

843

Thanks noodlemctwoodle and ReneTode - I use Yahoo Weather so I will play around to see if I can get it to work.

I did get a few of my other sensors to display properly in the dashboard so I think you folks were ā€œspot-onā€ with the weather widget being my issue.

Thanks again for you help!!
