Matplotlib not installing

[tmjo]

The problem

Help needed. With the update to HA 2024.2 lots of people had problems several different custom integrations that depend on matplotlib. This seemed to be fixed with the release of HA 2024.2.3 including this fix (removed pinning of version).

I'm maintaining two custom integrations myself, and the 2024.2.3 fixed it for me. I'm on NUC with HAOS/proxmox. However, it seems several users of my integrations (and other integrations) seemed to be unable to get matplotlib installed. They seem to be on Rpi4. Can this be related to the issue? The original version pinning had the comment # Matplotlib 3.6.2 has issues building wheels on armhf/armv7 and since it is now working on three different instances on my side (two HAOS/proxmox + devcontainer) but still is not working for many people, I kindly ask for someone smarter than me to take a look.

Sorry if details or logs are not good enough, it is hard for me to get it exact since my systems are working, but others not.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.2.3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

core-2024.1.1

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

Several custom integrations, but issue related to installation of matplotlib (possibly on Rpi4)

My two integrations that has this problems: norwegianweather and norwegiantide. It was initially raised by author of another custom integration here which was closed as everyone thought it was ok with HA 2024.2.3 but later reports came in that is doesn't work.

[Bucky2k]

Can confirm that the errors mentioned for the tibber_custom integration also occur using a RPI4 with HAOS image

[jugla]

Thanks for creating this ticket !

[pmi1805]

Can confirm that the errors mentioned for the tibber_custom integration also occur using a RPI4 with HAOS image

Same on RPi5 with fresh installation. Verifying yaml brings: „Integration error: tibber_custom - Requirements for tibber_custom not found: ['matplotlib'].“

[Bucky2k]

So - any ideas left?

[tmjo]

@sbyx @MartinHjelmare; sorry for tagging, but since you were involved in the previous fix, I'm humbly asking for assistance here. Any ideas of what can be done?

[spacegaier]

If this is specific to HAOS, then raising the issue in the corresponding repo might help: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system

[cortado]

Still a problem, did someone capable raise the issue to HAOS repo? sorry for tagging, but @tmjo is this something you could help with? Using NorwegianTide on RPi4 with HAOS 12.4 (Core 2024.7.3) and hope so much it will return to work 🙏

[mdisabato]

I am on a Raspberry Pi 4 (versions attached) using the following configuration:
Core. 2024.7.4
Supervisor 2024.06.2
Operating System 12.4
Frontend 20240710.0

configuration.yaml

skyfield platform

• platform: ha_skyfield
  show_constellations: false
  show_time: true
  show_legend: true
  north_up: true

When doing a configuration check, I get a spinning circle for 20 minutes and then then:

Configuration warnings
Platform error 'camera' from integration 'ha_skyfield' - Requirements for ha_skyfield not found: ['matplotlib'].

Again, this is on an 8GB RPi 4

Thank you.

Dear @frenck

Would you please check this issue for Raspberry pi 4 and pi 5 ?

[wheindl]

This is marked "closed," but the issue still persists (matplotlib not installing on RPi running any version of Home Assistant after 2024.2. Has there been any progress, or is this project (or at least the graph feature that is a key part of the project) being abandoned?

[dobakszilard]

Unfortunately, no, as I looked, there should be a wheel for matplotlib, because only python 3.11 "https://wheels.home-assistant.io/musllinux-index/matplotlib/" is up here, I don't know who made this, but I think this would be the solution if the musllinux matplotlib wheel would be ready for python 3.12

[issue-triage-workflows]

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.
Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍
This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[typxxi]

still open and is really annoying and frustrating
it makes checking the logs frustrating

[irennert]

Does anyone have or is working on a solution on how to to get metaplotlib integrated?
Obviously integrations like Tibber can not be used any more without metaplotlib.

[alexohneander]

Same here, can no longer use the Tibber_Custom integration. Is there any way to install the packages manually?

Many in the community build graphs with metaplotlib and for almost a year this is no longer possible. This is very frustrating.

[ngelotte]

Same here. I am stuck not updating Home Assistant so that I can keep using the worldtidesinfo integration because Matplotlib cannot run on my Raspberry Pi 4 with HAOS.
