Having trouble setting this up. Debug logs attached

[rfongls]

Hello,

I am having a lot of trouble setting this up. I've tried through HACS, manually to the /appdaemon directory, and directly to the /apps directory.

I currently have it setup under my /config/apps directory.

For apps.yaml, stored under /config/apps, I have:

qolsys_panel:
  module: gateway
  class: QolsysGateway
  panel_host: 192.168.1.137
  panel_token: 000000

For appdaemon.yaml, stored under /configs/, I have:

appdaemon:
  time_zone: America/Denver
  latitude: 52.379189
  longitude: 4.899431
  elevation: 2

  plugins:
    hass:
      namespace: default
      type: hass
      ha_url: http://homeassistant.local:8123 (side note, I tried this with the IP:port, and also with homeassistant:8123. I can access this IP to access my home assistant through a browser, and also through smb)
      token: eyJhbGciOiJ...W1HN3o7_rLoltNb1WNEA
    mqtt:
      namespace: mqtt
      type: mqtt
      client_host: mosquitto
      client_port: 1883
      client_user: homeassistant
      client_password: test

Under my /config/apps directory, I have the qolsysgw directory, that I downloaded from this git repo. It includes the gateway.py, and the mqtt/qolsys directories.

I've done the setup on the IQ Panel, to allow control4, and created the token.

I've added debugging to echo the appdaemon.yaml, and it shows as expected. This is what I'm running into with my debug logs:

Anyone know what I'm missing?
Thanks

Please use the code button < > on the toolbar when posting code on Github.
With YAML, indentation is key.
The issue you are facing could be related to the indentation and without a code block, we can't help you with that.

Is it normal that you have /config/apps/qolsys with the same contents as /config/apps/qolsysgw/qolsys ?

[jessica12ryan]

Your file structure is definitely a possible issue. It should be similar to this:

appdaemon
  - apps
	  - qolsysgw
		  - mqtt
		      - MQTT-FILES
		  - qolsys
		      - QOLSYS-FILES
		  - gateway.py
	  - apps.yaml
  - OTHER APP DAEMON FOLDERS
  - appdaemon.yaml

As @xaf has noticed, in your apps directory, it appears you need to remove /config/apps/qolsys
You need to keep /config/apps/qolsysgw ... that directory should have a qolsys folder within it. Once your file structure is repaired, check your logs again

I would suggest using the IP for you ha_url
ha_url: http://192.168.x.x:8123

and under mqtt, client_host should be the IP of the matt server
client_host: 192.168.x.x

@xaf - Should mark this as a bug

I've taken a new HA OS instance, and installed AppDaemon, MQTT, and HACS. I then proceeded to install Qolsysgw through HACS. It successfully installed but installed to the wrong directory. I had to SSH to the HA console and move files around to obtain the proper directory structure. I'm wondering if something was changed in HA along the way that may have caused the directory structure to be placed differently.

Unfortunately, I didn't take note of where the files downloaded to, and was using the sandbox to do some other testing as well. In the near future, I am going to do this again, and make a guide to at least assist with moving the files to the appropriate location until a fix is made.

[rfongls]

The issue was from home assistant, it was downloading to the wrong directory (configs)

appdaemon is added under "addon_configs" > yourappdaemonfolder >

I extracted mqtt and the qolsys folder to the apps directory under the main appdaemon directory

you end up with this:

addon_configs/yourappdaemonfolder/appdaemon.yaml

apps/mqtt
apps/qolsys
apps/gateway.py
apps.yaml

Once the files were in this structure, I added the plugins and MQTT info to the appdaemon.yaml

  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      # ha_url and token will be auto-injected by the add-on
    MQTT:
      type: mqtt
      namespace: mqtt
      client_host: core-mosquitto
      client_port: 1883
      client_user: hauser
      client_password: yourpassword

and in the apps.yaml, I added:

qolsys_panel:
  module: gateway
  class: QolsysGateway

  panel_host: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
  panel_port: 12345
  panel_mac: "the mac from your panel"
  panel_token: custom token from your panel
  panel_user_code: "000000"      # your real disarm PIN

  mqtt_namespace: mqtt

  ha_check_user_code: false      # let the gateway send the code
  ha_user_code: "0000"         # what HA will prompt you for
  code_arm_required: false
  code_disarm_required: true
  code_trigger_required: false

It took quite a bit of troubleshooting which I didn't save, but for the most part this worked after updating the directory and adding this to the yaml files. One note, for the appdaemon.yaml, you will need to manually modify this after it's generated, or it will just keep overwriting itself with a shell file.
