Alarmo-integration will not be loaded after update from Alarmo v1.10.3 to v1.10.4 about alarmo

[smarthomefamilyverrips]

@smarthomefamilyverrips I only test alarmo with the latest HA version, it’s your own choice (and responsibility) to only update one without the other. HA changes a lot of things between their releases, so I have no idea about backwards compatibility. However HACS should state which HA version is required for a certain alarmo release update, at least this information is provided to HACS via this file: https://github.com/nielsfaber/alarmo/blob/main/hacs.json I do not know the procedure for rollback via HACS, but the files for manual installation of all releases ever published remain available for download in this repository.

@nielsfaber Well unfortunately it not did state anywhere that 2024.7 was needed nor I got any message from HACS about this when I updated from.the notification of a new version of alarmo within HACS

[nielsfaber]

@tackin You may have a point there. I have no idea how HACS works under the hood, but what you're saying makes sense. I will try to remember to update the file before the next release (in case of a breaking change) and test if it works like you describe. Thanks for the pointer 👍

[Vaarlion]

I got bitten by this to, now downgrading to the 1.10.3.

I know HACS hide release that aren't compatible usually so i didn't check, mistake happens.
Thank for this post, i could find it quickly :)

Also, please don't talk down to people who wait for ha release to be stable before pushing them to their home.
Not everyone is in the same boat, and some may want to wait for the couple bug-fix every month to be release before updating :)

[nielsfaber]

Sorry, this version contains changes that requires updating to HA 2024.7.

@smarthomefamilyverrips
I don't know how HACS deals with this. From Alarmo's side I just provide the property, which is described as 'The minimum required Home Assistant version.' (see https://hacs.xyz/docs/publish/start#hacsjson), so HACS should be able to prevent you from updating to an incompatible release - but apparently it doesn't.

@nielsfaber from where should see 2024.7 is needed, HACS just prompts me there is a update, and also let's me do the update... I did re-download 10.3 and seems to work, hope it not will cause any problems in near future.

[tackin]

.... And I was so 100% sure it will work, because you were so strict last time in requesting 2024.6
;-)

[tackin]

Confirmed! Update to HA 2024.7 fixed the problem.

[simonepittis]

I made the upgrade to v1.10.4 and the upgrade to core-2024.7.0... but HA go in Recovey mode. for me it's not fixed

[loryanstrant]

Ah yep, same problem here. Don't know why I updated it when I don't have 2024.7 installed and wasn't planning on it until at least .1 was available.

[ajavibp]

Sorry for the offtopic, but what image do you have so that it can be updated quickly. I use the stable official, ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable, and it's still in version 2024.6.4.
Thanks

[nielsfaber]

@ajavibp this is not true. HA 2024.7 was released last night (same as alarmo release). Your link shows this as well.

[ajavibp]

l It was finally updated and now works perfectly. Thank you

[smarthomefamilyverrips]

Sorry, this version contains changes that requires updating to HA 2024.7.

@nielsfaber why this was not noted in changelog? What to do now can I rollback and redownload 10.3 from HACS?

[tackin]

Might be, because the bump in your hacs.json to 2024.7.0 was NOT in the Release-Commit itself but was done later in an additional commit. In between HACS "saw" a new Release with "required HA-verson" still at "2024.6.0". So HACS might not be to blame.

@nielsfaber
Hacs first looks at tags (releases) and the one selected in HA will be installed. If you committed a requirement change later to main, you have to create another release to get that included in HACS installs.

BTW, when you switch HACS to experimental mode, it will create update entities for each integration.
Then you can use the update install service, select the alarmo entity and provide any release or branch name to install. It can also install older releases through the service or the 'main' branch.
Very usefull if you have beta code just on a branch that you want to test through HACS before you create a release.

Edit: I just confirmed that I get the requirement error when trying to install 'main' branch on my HA 2024.6

[vdiogo]

Got the same error and updating to HomeAssistant 2024.7.1 fixed it.

[thomluther]

Yeah, I think it will be helpful to cut another release from actual main, because when installing from main branch, I get the min required HA version error and it does not install on HA 2024.06. This is the expected behavior when the min HA version is set accordingly in the hacs.json file.
