How-to Upgrade to AppDaemon 15

[joBr99]

This is a summary of the action you have to do after you've upgraded from AppDaemon 14 to 15.

You config files have been moved from /config/appdaemon to /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon

See this if you need assistance to access the new folder: https://docs.nspanel.pky.eu/configure_mqtt/#note-for-appdeamon-addon-version-15

There is one important change that you have to do to your appdaemon.yaml, which is also mentioned in the release notes of the new version.

1. Change this in your appdaemon.yaml:

from: secrets: /config/secrets.yaml to: secrets: /homeassistant/secrets.yaml

This should already fix appdaemon, but do not stop here; next steps are required to get updates though hacs.

2. add this line in your appdaemon.yaml to configure your apps directory back to the old directory (below the appdaemon: key)

  app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/

3. move your apps.yaml from /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps to the old location within /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/

4. redownload the nspanel-lovelace-ui app from HACS

5. optional cleanup; delete the apps folder in the addon's directory /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps

See #1028 if you are interested in more Details around this mess.

@joBr99 Are they any recommended steps if we are starting from AppDaemon 14 (I did a restore this morning to a backup this morning when I got in trouble because the clock time stopped).

[joBr99]

wdym? The steps above should be everything you need to do the update.

[Jelloitsalive12]

OK, I wasn't sure if there would be something I could do pre-emptively to configure the directories/yaml so that it worked when upgrading to 15. I am assuming after redownloading nspanel-lovelace-ui the custom configs we have will still work.

[joBr99]

Your apps.yaml&appdaemon.yaml won't be touched by redownloading the app from HACS.

However the update from AppDaemon moves all files to a different directory, see my link to the docs on how to access the new folder.

[Dattel]

app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/

regarding these setting: so if i update on nspanel exists two times on my system

/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps/nspanel-lovelace-ui and /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/nspanel-lovelace-ui

i assume, that's only on the upgraded systems the case and i can safely delete /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps/nspanel-lovelace-ui?

[joBr99]

yes, the appdaemon upgrade moves the folder to /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps/nspanel-lovelace-ui, if you changed the app_dir you can safely delete the folder

[Dattel]

sadly no... if i copy it back to addon_configs, it starts correct

In my last post you can see, that the hello_world app gots running - > because it is still exists in addon_configs/........ there is no trace of starting nspanel from the appdaemon/apps/nspanel-lovelace-ui

[joBr99]

It needs to be like this:

secrets: /homeassistant/secrets.yaml
appdaemon:
  app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/

However I'm currently trying to figure out how I convince appdaemon to load my apps.yaml ...

[Dattel]

thanks... is working Sorry for asking.. you already described the correct position in your documentation earlier..

[Jelloitsalive12]

So now I have a weird problem. I restored to my previous backup of 14.0, then reupgraded to 15.2. As expected AppDaemon is not running again, but now, without making the changes to my appdaemon yaml (at least that I can tell), I still see logs in AppDaemon and my NSPanel seems to be working. Any suggestion what I might have done to get into this weird state? Even after restart behavior is as described.

[joBr99]

idk what you did, but without the appdaemon add-on running it's not going to do anything

[Jelloitsalive12]

I see all of the following in the logs despite the main page info dialog saying Add-On is stopped.

So I followed your instructions. The module will be loaded but then, these error messages come up. Any ideas? My NS-Panel is waiting for content. Tasmota and MQTT (configured inside Tasmota) work.

okay, never mind. I copy the apps.yml from the appdaemon addon into the old /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps folder, restarted everything and now it works :)

[karlc28]

so i followed all the steps above i have appdaemon running and my nspanel seemed to have refreshed and when i touch the screen my normal screen comes on but if i try to tap or swipe to the next screen it goes blank/black screen with the backlight on and is unresposive untill it dims and goes back to the normal screen again

any ideas

[joBr99]

please provide the logs from appdaemon during this issue

[Jelloitsalive12]

idk what you did, but without the appdaemon add-on running it's not going to do anything

I have gone as far as removing appdaemon, and reinstalling after a reboot. I performed all of the changes described above in steps 1-4 in top post, but my AppDaemon still shows as not running. That said, I can't tell from logs/NSPanel functionality. Everything appears to be working, but would like confirmation that AppDaemon is in fact running.

@karlc28 Hard to tell like this, there is something wrong with your connection to home assistant. Please open a Waiting for Content Issue with your configs and the startuplog from appdaemon.

[joBr99]

@Jelloitsalive12 it has to run somewhere - you cloud check the docker containers running on the terminal or try to reboot hour Homeassistant OS (Advanced Options in the Restart Dialog - Reboot System)

which configs would you need

[joBr99]

It's explained in the issue template, but basically apps.yaml and appdaemon.yaml - just open a new issue with that template.

You Backend is dead - if you restart tasmota it's going to show the Waiting for content screen

Thank you for the reminder about full reboot vs restarts I'd been doing! That was it, seems to be working as expected again.

[aussiebum71]

so i followed all the steps above i have appdaemon running and my nspanel seemed to have refreshed and when i touch the screen my normal screen comes on but if i try to tap or swipe to the next screen it goes blank/black screen with the backlight on and is unresposive untill it dims and goes back to the normal screen again

any ideas

I'm having the same issue, I will this evening do some further investigation and provide some diagnostic logs. I don't think it's an AppDaemon 15 release issue. It started after the update of the Core and or the Supervisor to 2023.11.x

[joBr99]

@aussiebum71 Make sure to be on the latest version of nspanel-lovelace-ui there was a fix for 2023.11

[finipini]

Sorry for (maybe) spamming this but i never updated to the version 0.15.0 or 0.15.1 , the ones with issues , i update directly to 0.15.2 and edit the secrets line and had no issues. I did notested that some addons ( like Appdaemon) moves outside config ( now homeassistant) folder.

My question is: i still have to relocate Appdaemon to the previous location ? With that will be no issues in the future with some update from home assistant? I see that addons still have files in both directories but i guess that they Will erase the old files Somewhere in the future.

[joBr99]

Yes, if you do not move your apps folder back to the old location you are not able to do any updates though HACS.

[rossi75]

There is one important change that you have to do to your appdaemon.yaml, which is also mentioned in the release notes of the new version.

for those who are struggling the same way as me for all the directories, only to mention that this appdaemon.yaml is in /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/. I accessed this via the "terminal & ssh" HACS-add-on.

I am asking myself, why there may occour those issues where you need a manual intervention into the files. I would assume that if there is a change in any way, the appdaemon add-on checks this for itself and corrects it if neccessary.........?

[Leichtbaumichel]

sorry for the maybe stupid question, but I cant get the panel working after installing Appdaemon 15.2. I have read all the tipps and followed all the steps, but I can't find the bug. Here is the log of appdaemon:

The identation of MQTT is wrong it needs to be on the same level as HASS

same problem

[joBr99]

adjust the secrets line, copy pasted my example from the documentation, need to fix that

[Leichtbaumichel]

Thank you very much- its is running! Looking at my mistakes it must be a little bit to late for me ;-)

[michilehr]

There goes another 🍺 or two. Thanks for the very well documented update process @joBr99 🙏

[six50joe]

for those who are struggling the same way as me for all the directories, only to mention that this appdaemon.yaml is in /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/. I accessed this via the "terminal & ssh" HACS-add-on.

I haven't been able to access this dir via ssh; it isn't visible as a volume, only /config and the usual other dirs- is there a particular thing you needed to do?

You need to enable the invisibles in the Editor settings

Thanks for replying. This only allows you to access it using an option built into the HA VSCode Editor add on, which is unrelated to ssh. I want to know how to access this volume in a terminal shell (ex. cd <volume>/a0d7b054_appdaemon) then run my own comand line editing tools or my editor (Emacs), which can edit files over ssh, as I have been doing with files in /config/* for a long time.

[joBr99]

I don't know, I'm not using the ssh plugin. The instructions above are moving the app and the apps.yaml back to it original location in /config, as the new location isn't going to work with HACS and I think the benefits of the new location are not worth the issues created by this change. But I don't have any influence on that.

If you want to know how to access the new config folder over ssh ask the devs of the ssh plugin or the devs of the appdaemon addon.

[randybb]

I have all files in the new directory, I have the old addons_config dir empty and no issues.

The reason for the new dir is that HA can create a backup of a plugin and it can be easily reverted. This was not possible previously, as addons_config dir is included in HA backup.

[joBr99]

Yep, the only issue you have is that HACS won't be able to update the files in the new folder as HACS is running inside of the Homeassistent Container and will never be able access to the new folder.

There was a backup of the config before just not bundled with the appdaemon app, it was bundled with Homeassistent, which I actually would prefer as my config doesn't get messed up when rolling back appdaemon to an older version.

[madebywitteveen]

Hello joBr99, regarding all the issues with the appdeamon and the core update 2024.4.

could you make a summary where all the apps/configuration/secrets files should be and what should be inside to get it working. Or is there some tool which checks everything ?

After the latest 2024.4 core update I have the weather card working again but can not use the 'type: x' options.

This doesn't work:

    - entity: weather.forecast_home
    type: 1

Then the weather card disappears completely.

thanks

[joBr99]

Your indentation is wrong type has to be on the same level als entity. Also see #1204 and the latest release notes: https://github.com/joBr99/nspanel-lovelace-ui/releases/tag/v4.4.0
