Proposed changes

Rollback to 4.3 until 1747 gets resolved.

This is an AppDaemon issue, not an add-on issue. Please keep track of

You can configure the following command in the appdaemon addon settings, until there is a fixed version of appdaemon released.

sed -i 's:"/api/template":f"{self.ha_url}/api/template":g' /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/appdaemon/plugins/hass/hassplugin.py

Always can count on you @joBr99 !

That is modifying signed sources and thus not recommend or supported. It may cause issues and even may cause HA to consider your whole system as unsuported dur to source modifications.

If this upstream bug causes an issue for your use case, please downgrade to the previous version using the backup that is created on upgrading the addon.
