The APCUPSd component was migrated to do configuration checks. Please see the APCUPSd Sensor documentation.

According documentation nothing has changed... Could you please point out, what I should change in the configuration to get apcupsd working again?

[Danielhiversen]

There is a bug in 0.27.1, so you have to specify the host:

apcupsd:
  host: localhost

It will be fixed in the next release

[ardzeus]

Unfortunately specifying a host doesn't fix this issue. If you check the error message, you can see the problem is somewhere else now...

[Danielhiversen]

What is the output of: hass --script check_config

[Danielhiversen]

And how is your config for the apcupsd? You should have:

apcupsd:
  host: localhost

[ardzeus]

You can check the configuration above on the bug description.

Output of the check_config is quite interesting... It's showing same for pip installation and git workarea

% hass --script check_config Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/hass", line 11, in sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/main.py", line 317, in main return scripts.run(args.script) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/scripts/init.py", line 47, in run return script.run(args[1:]) # type: ignore File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/scripts/check_config.py", line 89, in run print(color('bold', "Testing configuration at", config_dir)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/scripts/check_config.py", line 46, in color from colorlog.escape_codes import escape_codes, parse_colors ImportError: cannot import name 'parse_colors'

% which hass /usr/local/bin/hass

[Danielhiversen]

I think you are missing:

apcupsd:
  host: localhost

in your config

[ardzeus]

Yes sure there is now also the host definition like you mentioned earlier

• platform: apcupsd host: localhost resources:
  • status

[Danielhiversen]

To be sure, your config look like this?

apcupsd:
  host: localhost

sensor:
  - platform: apcupsd
    resources:
      - status

[ardzeus]

Eh, so the host definition must be under different section... Now it's working! Thank you very much for your help!

[Danielhiversen]

@fabaff We should try to find a way to give a better error message in cases where the config for the hub is missing. Not easy to understand the problem from the given error message.
