to add more details, HA 2024.6 adds a check for this type of file I/O happening in the event loop.

I am running into what I believe is the same issue. I had to actually disable the integration as this specific long section of messages keep appearing endlessly in my syslog - and also includes the statement "please create a bug report at https://github.com/dummylabs/thewatchman/issues":

[johntdyer]

So i'm a little worried about this, the owner of this repo has basically no commit history this year and is the only contributor .... Even if a PR was opened with a fix do we think it will be merged?

[andreasbrett]

Maybe it's the perfect moment for a fork that addresses some of the issues and takes care of some PRs.

[andreasbrett]

@mariusthvdb @OzGav @asucrews @johntdyer I think about creating a maintained fork of this repo. Not introducing lots of new features but rather taking care of due maintenance, small fixes and ensuring it works with the next versions of HA. There's no activity in here and as @johntdyer already pointed out: this might be a sinking ship. Would be great if we could maintain that ship until maybe @dummylabs re-surfaces and takes over again.

Since I don't want to end like @dummylabs and have to do it all alone and you've either contributed to this project or commented and seem to have dev and/or tech backgrounds: would anybody like to join me in realizing this?

[asucrews]

@andreasbrett not 100% sure what i can do, but i am willing to help out

[OzGav]

Sorry I am unable to commit to helping as I am busy on other projects.

[andreasbrett]

I just released a beta over on my fork. It fixes this issue. Could you please test it in your HA installations? Find the installation instructions in README and in HACS don't forget to enable "show beta versions".

https://github.com/andreasbrett/thewatchman/releases/tag/v0.6.2-beta0

[jhemak]

Sees to be fixed for me using your beta. Great work!

[AnthonyBe]

I've also replaced the old version with your form beta 0.6.2 beta0 and it's working perfectly! Thanks @andreasbrett !

[Mariusthvdb]

Thanks for picking this up! I’ll surely test drive.

having said that, I am surprised I dit see these loggings… I did add the line to the manifest some iterations ago forcing to be correctly using HA internals but other than that, I have not a single issue with the original.

let me check more and I’ll report back

edit

I see I didnt have that anymore at all, simply have the manifest:

not sure why I dont get the errors mentioned above in that case....

Hey @Mariusthvdb could you explain which line you added where? I'm a bit confused, the manifest looks the same in my installation, like in your example.

[Mariusthvdb]

Correct, as I stated above. It is no longer there. Core HA now forces Custom components to use the guarded system, except when they bail out in the manifest.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately, I'm not good enough to understand everything. I don't have core 2024.6.0 or higher installed yet.

Is there anything I can or must do to avoid getting the error later after the core update?

[Mariusthvdb]

Tbh: I am not the expert here. Important thing is that

Import executor is on by default now so they don’t need to add that anymore

you could check at discord dev channel ask around. BDraco is the expert on the matter, maybe catch him in the release community post

I just released a beta over on my fork. It fixes this issue. Could you please test it in your HA installations? Find the installation instructions in README and in HACS don't forget to enable "show beta versions".

@andreasbrett I try your beta 0.6.2 beta0 and it's working great on two systems with HA 2024.6.1 Thank you!

[popy2k14]

@andreasbrett Tried your 0.6.2 beta0 and it fixed the issue for me. thx a lot for keeping the MUST HAVE integration alive!

PS.: I wonder why this integration is not a standard one.

Thank you for your response. Maybe I'll just wait a bit. @andreasbrett seems to be on the right track.

Edit:

Furthermore, I am even less of an expert. I am a simple user. And somewhat overwhelmed by the problem.

[gcoan]

Thanks @andreasbrett I swapped from dummylabs' version to your fork and installed the 0.6.2 beta0 and it fixed the issue for me.

Steps I followed to move to the new version:

• In HACS, click on thewatchman, three dots in top corner, Remove
• Warning about the integration is configured, click Ignore
• (HACS now has forgotten about the integration but it still remains in HA)
• In HACS, three dots, custom repositories, add https://github.com/andreasbrett/thewatchman
• Click thewatchman, Download (actually I ticked beta version and selected the beta)
• Restart HA

No reconfiguration required and all working fine

[teskanoo]

Thank you @andreasbrett for the update to this repo and to @gcoan for the update instructions.

I am using the new (experimental) HACS user interface.

In order to obtain the 0.6.2 beta0 version, I had to 'redownload' the after initially switching to the new repository.

'redownload' gave me the option to enable beta versions and to select 0.6.2 beta0 version

[cbhiii]

Yes, thank you! This is working great thanks to your time and efforts.

Hey @andreasbrett, thank you for your efforts. Hopefully, I’m getting back on track and am ready to maintain this repo. Could you please create a pull request for your fix so that I can incorporate it?

[ncd7]

@dummylabs - thanks for coming back! You can probably just diff his fork and pick up all the updates in case @andreasbrett doesn't get back to you soon

[dummylabs]

Yep, just wanted to have proper attribution in the code. Anyway, I really appreciate the valuable contribution of @andreasbrett and other guys. Thank you!

I just created the PR for the "blocking call" fix.

[dummylabs]

For some strange reason, I couldn’t run it in the devcontainer with HA version 2024.6.0 because of an error message: "No module named ‘aiofiles’". However, adding it to the manifest file solved the problem. I’ll continue testing tomorrow.

[dummylabs]

Fix is in the main branch (available in HACS as beta). The new version will be published soon.

[dummylabs]

Should be fixed in 0.6.2.

[popy2k14]

thx, for keeping the original watchman repo alive! PS.: any chance to see this in the core?

[dummylabs]

any chance to see this in the core?

Don’t believe it’s ready yet. I see several areas for improvement in how watchman should function, particularly:

1. The standard configuration popup feels too cramped for the numerous configuration options. Having a dedicated panel for configuration (and perhaps reporting) would be beneficial. Every time I attempt to add a new config option, I encounter this issue. However, this requires frontend programming skills, which I don't have at the moment.
2. The concept of storing a large amount of data in sensor attributes (even though it was an experiment to support custom Lovelace cards). Perhaps creating a separate entity for each detected problem would be a better approach. This would ensure that watchman findings are compatible with most Lovelace cards out of the box. The "repairs" feature is another option here to consider.

[Mariusthvdb]

well, if anything, I find the current install working very nicely! and I dread the moment you would change to creating repairs for each file Watchman finds..... maybe per category, but not per file, that would be not be a nice user experience at all, aas Ive seen moments in the config where over 70 or so files where either not used or missing etc etc....

this is one of those very useful components that probably will never be in core, so if you ask me, dont strive for that at all. Just make it better!

thanks for doing so!

btw a FR (will open a separate) would be to add a service to update the readings, (not create a report but actually a rerun of the component) after one has made changes on the config/yaml/recorder etc etc.

we now have to reload the integration, which is not very UI friendly. Seems also not to be reliable, because after commenting an offender, it is still reported after the reload of the integration. but that is per design:

By default, watchman's sensors are updated by homeassistant_started event.

I would just like to add a button in the Dashboard and click that ;-) Additional to the default.....

[dummylabs]

Thank you for your kind words!

Watchman listens to several events in Home Assistant and should automatically update its sensors when Home Assistant starts and when configuration parts gets reloaded via UI (YAML configuration reloading). I will check it out, may be things have changed since this feature was released.

[Mariusthvdb]

Sure.

please also see if you can add functionality for changing recorded entities filters.

thats when I noticed .
