[QUESTION] ControllerX Not working on fresh HA install

[Meisteryoda1994]

I started a fresh HA installation and uses my old apps.yaml file for controllerX. I placed it in the correct folder.
in my old installation everything works fine but in my new installation it won't work.

I run everything on the latest software

[xaviml]

Hi @Meisteryoda1994 , have you changed the "app_dir" attribute from appdaemon.yaml?

You can follow these instructions: https://controllerx.netlify.app/controllerx/start/installation/

[Meisteryoda1994]

@xaviml HI, Yes I did it and still no results

[xaviml]

Can you show the AppDaemon logs? I first need to know if it is picking the right AppDaemon logs.

Can you also share the appdaemon.yaml file as well as its location?

[Meisteryoda1994]

@xaviml

The location is : smb://homeassistant/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml

the code is:
--- secrets: /homeassistant/secrets.yaml app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/ appdaemon: latitude: xxx longitude: xxx elevation: 2 time_zone: Europe/Amsterdam plugins: HASS: type: hass http: url: http://127.0.0.1:5050 admin: api: hadashboard:

Can you indent the appdaemon.yaml file content? It seems that app_dir is outside of appdaemon. Please, check closely the instructions and where the app_dir is placed: https://controllerx.netlify.app/controllerx/start/installation/

[Meisteryoda1994]

The AppDeamon.yaml file is when I open (with samba share)HA Server In the Addon_configs. there is a folder called "a0d7b954_appdaemon"

The code from the appdeamon.yaml file I use is 1-1 copy (with other coordinates location)

then inside homeassistant there is also a config folder. when I open that I get a folder with the name Appdeamon.

inside that folder is a folder called Apps. inside that folder is a folder called controllerX and the apps.yaml file.

so I think everything is in the right spot

[xaviml]

Can you show an screenshot of the appdaemon.yaml content?

[Meisteryoda1994]

yes

[xaviml]

All the files and logs you are showing are not coherent since the apps dir is pointed to a directory with controllerx app, but the AppDaemon logs show the Hello app loading. So, I am not sure where the issue is, but it seems to be related to not picking up the right appdaemon.yaml file maybe.

[xaviml]

You can see this in the logs:

maby this is easier to read

[Meisteryoda1994]

i fixed it Bly replacing the controllerX folder to the config add-on folder. so I think with the redirection there is a failure somewhere because normally it link to the appdeamon folder

[xaviml]

Correct, it seems that appdaemon is not reading the right folder somehow, and I cannot identify why.

You fixed is a workaround, but if ControllerX gets updated, you will need to copy the folder again.

[Meisteryoda1994]

yea the same is the problem with the direction of the apps.yaml.
