MrGeekOP•8mo ago

hmm does Local API need to be enabled on Hass.agent? oh no i dont think it does and was never enabled before

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

The device is not there at all in HA

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

DrR0x•8mo ago

Yeah delete it And then restart, Autodiscovery issues are unfortunately common We can't easily fix it tho, it's almost impossible to get debug info

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Delete the whole integration? or just the device?

DrR0x•8mo ago

Device First, but a foolproof fix is to delete integration It seems to always work

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

So i deleted teh device restarted HA it re-found the device automatically but still no service

DrR0x•8mo ago

Wait, that's weird Are sensors and stuff going?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

i dont use anything else... just the notifications stuff just restarting HA again

DrR0x•8mo ago

Just throw a test one on Or better Media player test Start a YouTube video and try adjusting volumd

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

can you tell me how?

DrR0x•8mo ago

Open the media player entity while a YouTube video is playing

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

youtube playing on my computer? sorry i dont mean to sound stupid, but what media player entitiy?

DrR0x•8mo ago

Yep Click on the device, and then in there you should see media controls

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

No in the device is nothing!

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

let me fully delete the hacs intergration and re-install

DrR0x•8mo ago

Oh okay yeah it's messed up then 🤔

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Ok deleted the device and the integration rebooting going to re-install

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

this one right? there is only one hass.agent so i assume it must be 2022.11.9 ok installed, rebooting again ok it auto found my device, but when i go into it there are no entities

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

rebooting again yep same again after rebooting there is the entitiy but nothing in it

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

whats annoying is this is mission critical for me 😦

DrR0x•8mo ago

Hmm, are the mqtt settings correct? Can you add a sensor? Anything CPU usage

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

i added a sensor

DrR0x•8mo ago

And see if it comes up in home assistant mqtt integration This

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

this is the MQTT integration prime-HWZJCW2 is my PC name

DrR0x•8mo ago

Hmm, mqtt seems to be working @Amadeo , any idea?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

could it be an issue because my PC name has the - in it? i can't rename my PC somewhere i go a message in Hass.agent about the name, but i cannot remember where Sensors are 100% working, if i add a new one i see it straight away under MQTT OK Renamed the PC within the HASS.Agent settings. Rebooted HA, those updated settings show instantly under MQTT. Deleted the device and reboted, waited for the device to find its self again with the new name but oddly it finds it under the old name UGH. So frustrating! Removed it all and starting again! @Amadeo would really LOVE you if you can help me fix this! Weird. still finds it as the old name in the integration so odd it finds the device as teh actual machine name, and not based on the setting i set in Hass.Agent but MQTT has updated to show the name i put in Hass.agent uninstalling, removing all my config and trying again! annoying as ill have to figure out how i did my notification stuff but can worry about that later

Amadeo•8mo ago

Lemme catch up to speed with all the messages 😄 let's start with this, which Home Assistant version are you running?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

2024.5.2

Amadeo•8mo ago

now the fun starts

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Im starting 100% Fresh FYI

Amadeo•8mo ago

are there any errors related to HASS.Agent in the logs?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

fully removed the software from my machine

Amadeo•8mo ago

there should be (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

fully removed the integration in HA manually removed files/folders and rebooted now going through the install process!

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

wish i had known this 10 minutes ago 😛 ok well let me get it all back installed its not just the notification service i was missing the media entitiy

Amadeo•8mo ago

sorry for that, we need to fix that in the integration itself and get it setup as a custom HACS repo - until then the manual fix should be good ya if you'll have any issues modyfying the file lemme know, I can send you the whole file to copy/replace

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

one second let me get there but would this same issue cause the missing media entitiy?

Amadeo•8mo ago

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

can you remind me whilst you are here, where i get the HA API Token from? setting it all up fresh

Amadeo•8mo ago

since this version (the one that you're running), HA will basically nope any integration that is trying to do async operation on sync thread the adjustments are needed to make it compatible with HA's requirements

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

got the API dont worry bear with ok re-installed and made the changes rebooting 100% some progress! Just restarting it one more time ok so.... the service is there.... but not working! 100% progress!

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

nothing happens on my computer

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

service is there.... what am i missing here? test notification from within hass.agent works fine not sure if this is related?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

When i am playing a youtube video, im still not seeing anything under the device? Should i?

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

@Amadeo are you still here? sorry to ping, im just desperate to get this sorted

Amadeo•8mo ago

ya, switching between work and personal pc 😄

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

sorry! Not meaning to be a pain

Amadeo•8mo ago

no worries, lemme try something ok, almost the same works for me (aka sanity check)

service: notify.amadeo_pc
data:
  message: test message
  title: cats rule the internet

service: notify.amadeo_pc
data:
  message: test message
  title: cats rule the internet

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

not getting anything in the logs when i try the above with my PC name obviously

Amadeo•8mo ago

could you show me this page

Amadeo•8mo ago

https://b.chihi.ro/Np9OJP.png

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

So i just renamed the device in that page to test maybe i should give my machine a quick reboot as it hasnt been rebooted since re-installing

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

this is my actual PC name. I had previously tried changing it here to BensPC incase the - was causing an issue but the service was always called notify.prime_hwzjcw2 no matter what

Amadeo•8mo ago

ok, let's do this slow, do the following (in order ofc) 1. close HASS.Agent (if you want to rename the device you can do it now, after change HASS.Agent will restart, close it) 2. in Home Assistant remove all devices in HASS.Agent integration (not to be confused with MQTT entities) 3. in mqtt explorer remove entries in hass.agent\devices and hass.agent\media_player 4. start HASS.Agent 5. reboot Home Assisant 6. add the discovered device in Home Assistant this will give us baseline to play with as I don't know what is the state of things on your end

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

OK well i just rebooted and tested again still failed so now going to follow your steps slowly.

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

before i close hass.agent these things being stopped are ok right?

Amadeo•8mo ago

if you have no sensors/commands/quickactions configured then yes

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

OK Hass.Agent Application Fully Closed

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

clicking delete here (not touching MQTT Side of things)

Amadeo•8mo ago

yup

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

opening MQTT Explorer Connecting to HA Removing these

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Amadeo•8mo ago

yup

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

starting hass.agent rebooting Home Assistant waiting for reboot, and the auto discover of device......

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

clicking configure

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

reboot HA again?

Amadeo•8mo ago

god damnnit wtf

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

that happens until i reboot again then stuff comes up at least thats whats been happening this morning this is the first time the PC name looks correct though so feels like some progress let me reboot again

Amadeo•8mo ago

if that won't work we can have a voice chat + share if you're willing to, something doesn't add up here

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

yes that would be amazing

Amadeo•8mo ago

usually those steps solve all the issues

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

progress

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Amadeo•8mo ago

oh, ok

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

lets try a notification

Amadeo•8mo ago

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

YAY 😛

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

YES Got it fixewd! Thank you!!!!! ❤️ could not have done that without you! and thank you too @DrR0x Can i just confirm, you will fix this in the next update, and when i update, it will automatically overwrite my files with the new (fixed by you) version right? Honestly, thank you both again SOO much

Amadeo•8mo ago

yup, to be specific the integration will need to be replaced (we have no access to the original one) but we'll write instructions on that 😄 nice that it's working

MrGeekOP•8mo ago

Honestly, thank you again! That was stressing me out! working like a charm now
