pyvera install

[orginda]

hi, i'm trying to integrate veraplus with hassio, i'm reading all the posts i find but i can't find or better it is surely the fault of my inexperience but i can't solve the integration of veraplus with hassio, i added the integration of vera in the devices , I see them on hassio but it does not update the status, I understand that biogna update pyvera with the latest version and I launched the command pip install pyvera == 0.3.11 from the terminal but still I do not see anything happening, it is possible to have a basic explanation of the procedure, I don't know what to do.

It's normally straight forward, you should just need to add your vera controller path (mine is http://192.168.1.162:3480/) and then the rest should be pretty automatic.

If you add the following lines to your home assistant configuration.yaml, you should get more useful information in the home assistant log:

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.vera: debug
    pyvera: debug

Let me know if you see anything useful in the log.

Vera runs a dedicated thread to get updates - so it may be something is preventing that running. The logs should tell us.

Can you control devices from HA (even if the state doesn't come back correctly)?

[orginda]

yes I can check them but without having the status updates regarding pir sensors and door sensors, but on the interface of vera I see all the changes, I also added those lines on configuration.jaml

With debug turned on you should see traces like these:

where do i see this screen? in system log I don't see these entries

[pavoni]

It's in Configuration / Logs

[orginda]

the only logs is in supervisor, I guess I'm not understanding, can you be more precise? I'm sorry

So that's not able to connect to your vera controller at all.

My guess is you have the wrong IP address, or some sort of network problem.

[orginda]

the ip address is found, heart attack I can activate hassio checks and check its activation status on the veraplus page

[pavoni]

I'm not sure what you mean - but while you see that type of error in the home assistant log pyvera isn't connecting to your vera controller - so there is nothing more I can do to help.

[orginda]

from hassio I can activate the veraplus devices, but I can't see the status of the sensors

[pavoni]

With that error I don't believe you have any connection to Vera devices at all from hassio. So I don't know what you've got activated - but I don't think it's vera devices!

[orginda]

in any case I did a restart and the error in the log is not there now but the situation has remained the same

[pavoni]

If you click on the button at the bottom - it should show you the full log.

[orginda]

[pavoni]

That looks good.

So now you need to watch the log and do some detective work. Change a switch or sensor and see what happens in the log.

[orginda]

just restarted it seemed that the messages in the log were created but now everything has stopped

[pavoni]

I think you’re going to need to get a bit more on top of Home Assistant before I can help.

This is really a place for raising technical issues with the pyvera python library, not broader home assistant help.

[orginda]

sorry if I wasted your time, I try and try again to read the log but the updates are not recorded except in the first moments that I restart hassio and after all is silent, in any case thanks for the help, I admit my incompetence on the subject.

[pavoni]

No problem.

Once you’ve got on top of home assistant, reading the logs etc, feel free to come back if you still have a problem with Vera devices not updating.

[orginda]

the problems are always there, but I try to investigate the problem well so as not to disturb you, trying to understand even if it has to do the installation on proxmox, I will do all the necessary investigations and as a last hypothesis I return to ask questions and if I have need, thanks again
