Upgrading from 3.xΒΆ

This documentation is for AppDaemon is 4.0.0 or later. If you are upgrading from a 3.x version, there have been some changes to the way AppDaemon is configured, and you will need to edit your config files and make some other changes. The changes are listed below:

Note that not all changes will apply to everyone, some of them are in fairly obscure parts of AppDaemon that few if any people use, however, everyone will have to make some changes, so read carefully.

  • log section is deprecated in favor of a new and more versatile logs section. In AppDaemon 4.x, each log can be configured individually for filename, maximum size, etc. and in addition, it now supports custom formats and additional user logs.

For more detail see the Log Configuration section in the Configuration section.

  • api_port is no longer supported by the appdaemon section, it has moved to the new http component, and is defined by the port number in the url parameter. API Paths to apps have not changed. The App API, Dashboards and new Admin interface all share a single port, configured in the http section. For further details, see Configuring the HTTP Component in the Configuration section. To turn on support for the App Api, you will need to include an api section in AppDaemon.yaml - see the Configuring the API section in the Configuration section/
  • latitude, longitude, elevation and timezone are now mandatory and are specified in the appdaemon section of appdaemon.yaml.
