"Entity not available: camera.skyfield" after update to HA 2024.2.0 #24

rzantengmail · 2024-02-07T21:20:50Z

The picture element does nog loaf anymore and shows: Entity not available: camera.skyfield

mdisabato · 2024-02-07T21:36:07Z

I can confirm this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from HACS and I get the same message: Entity not available: camera.skyfield. I have also done a reboot (not just a restart) and that had no effect.

Configuration entries:

camera:

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

Thank you.

rzantengmail · 2024-02-07T21:43:32Z

Maybe this helps...

mdisabato · 2024-02-08T03:36:16Z

Unless you are running this:

"Download the prerequisites: pip3 install skyfield matplotlib numpy (no longer necessary with hassio!)"

If you are running Home Assistant OS, I do not believe there is a way to add any extra OS-level software that is not an add-on or that comes from HACS.

In any event, I loaded this from HACS which should have loaded everything it needed.

HA2024.2.0 switched over to Python 3.12 and nor HA is now complaining about not being able to install matplotlib:

I got it working by getting into the homeassistant container (using the Advanced SSH & Web Terminal add-on) and calling docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash (see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/)

From inside the container bash command line I installed matplotlib by calling pip3 install --use-pep517 matplotlib, restarted and now it's working.

YMMV

mdisabato · 2024-02-08T15:01:12Z

Will that survive the next Core/OS/Supervisor update?

timothybuchanan · 2024-02-08T17:12:52Z

On my HA, not only is the entity now unavailable, but the lines in configuration.yaml cause HA to hang indefinitely when checking before restart. Commenting out the lines allows HA to restart.

nanobra1n · 2024-02-08T17:18:48Z

@mdisabato should survive OS/Supervisor, Core ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@timothybuchanan : it took longer for me than usual, but eventually allowed me to proceed

rzantengmail · 2024-02-08T18:34:31Z

thanks @nanobra1n!

I did the same and it is working again :)

mdisabato · 2024-02-09T15:11:10Z

I followed the directions. The install spewed a lot of errors (please see attached file) and matplotlib evidently failed to load. The system is at the latest patch level - 2024.2.1. This is not a real high priority for me right now. If someone has time to look at the log, thank you. Otherwise, I'll wait until the next release.

Thank you very much.

matplotlib error.txt

nanobra1n · 2024-02-09T15:31:40Z

@mdisabato: Sorry, something must be different on your system than mine. Your error message now complains about numpy, which I don't see.
Also, the fix did not survive the update to 2024.2.1, I had to redo it. Hoping that @partofthething will find a way to fix this.

mdisabato · 2024-02-09T17:32:12Z

@nanobra1n: Thank you for taking a look. To be honest, I am not a coder of modern languages. If you have a COBOL app, I'm you're man. :) I can read the code and get and idea of what it's doing, but if you ask me to make any changes, it's "deer in the headlights" time. grins

danielbrunt57 · 2024-02-10T00:38:14Z

Will that survive the next Core/OS/Supervisor update?

OS - Yes
Supervisor - Yes
Core - No as that is the homeassistant container and will be completely replaced by the next release of Home Assistant. You'll have to pip3 install --use-pep517 matplotlib after every core update (~ 4 times a month)!

partofthething · 2024-02-10T05:42:20Z

Hmmm thanks for the reports folks. Sorry for the trouble. On python 3.12 there may be a more restrictive combination of numpy and matplotlib versions that I'll have to specify in https://github.com/partofthething/ha_skyfield/blob/master/custom_components/ha_skyfield/manifest.json in order to keep it working nicely with all the installation options.

Looks like some other components are experiencing similar issues: jugla/worldtidesinfocustom#26

partofthething · 2024-02-10T06:04:43Z

On my HA, not only is the entity now unavailable, but the lines in configuration.yaml cause HA to hang indefinitely when checking before restart. Commenting out the lines allows HA to restart.

This may be because your machine is attempting to compile matplotlib and numpy from source rather than using one of the pre-built binaries.. Depending on your hardware that could take a very long time, which would look like a hang, and may end up failing after hanging for a long time.

Not a solution, but just wanted to mention.

commentsonly · 2024-02-14T15:49:50Z

yep and the problem is (x86 NUC) that the compilation ends up with an error.
What irritated me more is that there's no way to "temporarily" disable ha_skyfield .. which would prevent the machine trying to re-compile the plotlob on each attempt to validate yaml / restart HA.
I removed the ha_skyfiled folder from the custom_components .. I also have no camera: ..... left in the configuration.yaml and I can't find any leftovers anywhere within the HA configurations but it still moans about "Platform error 'camera' from integration 'ha_skyfield' - Requirements for ha_skyfield not found: ['matplotlib']." and I run of ideas on how to get that solved.
Perhaps you have a guideline on how to remove it until there's a working solution?

timothybuchanan · 2024-02-14T16:31:01Z

Just comment out the lines in configuration.yaml, like so:

#camera:

- platform: ha_skyfield

show_constellations: false

danielbrunt57 · 2024-02-14T21:12:04Z

Exactly. That's all I did as well. The HACS integration is still installed and system is working fine now.

#camera:
#  - platform: ha_skyfield
#    show_constellations: false

tarheelz · 2024-02-18T21:56:04Z

Commenting out the integration removes the error but now you don't have a skyfield image entity correct?

danielbrunt57 · 2024-02-19T00:27:26Z

Commenting out the integration removes the error but now you don't have a skyfield image entity correct?

Correct. But since the integration is currently not working correctly which is causing issues starting HA, that's the only option at this point until the code is changed.

Hmmm thanks for the reports folks. Sorry for the trouble. On python 3.12 there may be a more restrictive combination of
numpy and matplotlib versions that I'll have to specify in
https://github.com/partofthething/ha_skyfield/blob/master/custom_components/ha_skyfield/manifest.json in order to keep it
working nicely with all the installation options.

Looks like some other components are experiencing similar issues: jugla/worldtidesinfocustom#26

nanobra1n · 2024-02-23T20:31:33Z

It's fixed for me in 2024.2.3 which contains:
Remove matplotlib pinning due to Python 3.12 incompatibility (@sbyx - #110706)

mdisabato · 2024-02-23T23:18:23Z

Nope. Didn't work for me.

danielbrunt57 · 2024-02-24T02:53:42Z

@mdisabato It looks like your image did not finish uploading?

danielbrunt57 · 2024-02-24T03:31:09Z

Did not work for me either...

So, even though I should not have to as per docs...

Download the prerequisites: pip3 install skyfield matplotlib numpy (no longer necessary with hassio!)

I did it anyway...

homeassistant:/config# pip3 install --use-pep517 matplotlib

but it still fails...

Nope. Didn't work for me.

I tried this "pip3 install --use-pep517 matplotlib" again and got a message it needs to be run in a VENV. Is there any permanent way to get this working again?

Thank you.

Per home-assistant/core#109961, this should have been fixed for most people by this change in home assistant core: home-assistant/core#110706 which was released in 2024.2.3

However, people on rpi4s are still seeing a similar issue: home-assistant/core#111732 which we are tracking here with #27. So I'll close this one for now assuming it works for everyone not on rpi4.

partofthething mentioned this issue Aug 4, 2024

Configuration won’t pass the check, circle just keeps rotating and never validates. #27
