Cant install Agent?
ive tried to reinstall the agent a few times,
I had it installed and working, it seemed to crash, then once i reinstalled it it gives me error "c:\users\david\appdata\roaming\lab02research\hass.agent installer\2214.0.3\hass.agent1.cab. verify that the file exists and that you can access it" after i agree to the licence terms and conditions and clicked the big green install button
I have tried:
uninstalling it using the built in uninstaller
using revo uninstaller in case it had some previously saved settings causing problems, revo uninstaller doesnt show hass agent as being on the computer at all ...
cmd.exe and conhost.exe processes opened by Hass.Agent never close
Aplogies in advance, because I don't have much information to diagnose te issue, but I noticed i have lots and lots of cmd.exe and conhost.exe processes active in my process list. In trying to figure out what caused this I ended all the active processes, left hass agent closed for a few hours, and none of the processes in question were ever opening. Within a few minutes of opening hass.agent they beginning appearing again, slowly over time.
I suspect this might have something to do with sensors or commands that I have active but im not sure how to better diagnose the issue. I've attached 2 screenshots showing my sensors and my commands....
Solution:
i dont think so no. i moved to a new computer recently but i also changed some of my commands around, so it seems clear of these extra processes, at least for now
Powershell Command not running
Hey,
I have a PS command like so, this works via PS directly.
I can see the request in MQTT Explorer, but it doesn't seem to trigger via the agent and im not sur ewhy. Any ideas?...
Solution:
Nice, thank you, will include it as part of full 2.1.1
How to use SetAudioOutputCommand?
Hey folks, I have recently started using HAAS.Agent (long time HomeAssistant user,. new PC user). and I'm trying to use SetAudioOutputCommand to switch between my headphones and my speakers.
Unfortunately, when I click the button in HomeAssistant the audio output doesn't seem to change. I suspect that it might be because I'm using the wrong "name" for the audio output (as you can see in the screenshot of my audio settings, each device seems to have two names). When I look at them in device manager, it has a different name which seems to be the two names in settings combined. Which of the names am I supposed to use?
Thanks!...
Solution:
Typical... after posting this I decided to try the long name as seen in device manager and it works. I'm an idiot - but I will leave this here in case any one else ever looks for it!
Adding entity to HA using Node-RED MQTT Broker
Hi all, I am trying to set HassAgent up for the first time on Home Assistant, so I can shut down a NUC via HA. I am using Node-RED and running the Aedes MQTT broker node from here, as I run a whole lot of devices through already. I can see HassAgent is connecting to this broker and sending messages on connection.
I've set Hass.Agent up and setup a Command, but I can't get anything into HA itself. Trying to manually add the integration into HA gives the error message "The integration could not be loaded..." and there is no entity showing up under entities for the command.
Is this an issue because I'm running a broker from within Node-RED and not a HA addon? If so, is there any around that?...
Solution:
the sensors/commands should appear in the MQTT integration section
My device was found but no entities were created
The integrations page found my device, everything looks configured ok on the windows side, but no entities were created on the device.
Solution:
the devices will be visible in the MQTT integration
