Websocket library brake AppDaemon add-on connection

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

I am using HA OS on Raspberry.
I have installed the AppDaemon Add-on from the store and i’m trying to import “websocket” library during app startup.
When i add websocket python library the startup process of the python scripts brake and I receive the following error:
2024-03-26 11:40:00.858710 WARNING HASS: Disconnected from Home Assistant, retrying in 5 seconds

Also adding the token nothing changes.

Here the full log:

I’m struggling on it from days

I’m not entirely certain, but I’m wondering if using the websocket library in your code is causing the HA disconnect. The HA plugin uses websocket itself as the connection, so maybe when you are creating your websocket, they are conflicting on the same port? Without seeing your app(s), it’s hard to determine.

What are you using websocket for?

At the moment i’m only importing the library in the config of AppDaemon, the script I need is still on my local machine. The issue appears simply pre-loading the library.

I need to integrate my solar inverter in HA (no addon actually available for my product).
The screep just login in the web page, send a WS request and write the JSON in a local file that HA should monitor. I just need a WS client for sending a simple request, no ports need to be exposed by HA.

I’ve resolved the issue. The “websocket” library was conflicting with the one already in use by AppDaemon. I simply resolved it by importing it directly into the script rather than through the configuration interface.
