Third party integrations AppDaemon

I have recently noticed this error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/appdaemon/appdaemon.py", line 1591, in read_config_file 
config_file_contents = yamlfd.read()
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/codecs.py", line 321, in decode 
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 37: invalid start byte

I am also not using apps but have created the apps folder in order for appdaemon to run properly but also see this:

WARNING AppDaemon: File '/home/junior466/haappdaemon/conf/apps/._apps.yaml' invalid structure - ignoring
WARNING AppDaemon: File '/home/junior466/haappdaemon/conf/apps/apps.yaml' invalid structure - ignoring

I am running the latest version of the beta.

This looks like a couple of problems with your editor.

This looks like your editor is saving a backup or cache file in the same directory as the actual file. Can you change the options in your editor to save it somewhere else?
@aimc Do you think it would be a good idea for AD to ignore hidden files ?

This looks like your editor is saving files in a format AD cannot read. Somewhere, you should be able to set the character encoding to UTF-8.

What editor are you using?
