After moving the controllerx folder to the new appdaemon location (addon_configs\a0d7b954_appdaemon\apps) this is the a few rules of the log:

Same here also after reinstalling both Appdeamon and ControllerX.
Copying over the folder to the new folder solves the problem but I assume that updates of ControllerX won't happen in the new location

Yes fixed also for me, still a workarround. Backup before update new to a new AppDaemon version.

Same issue faced today. I removed the apps folder from /root/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon and created a simlink: ln -s /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon

I solve it following this post: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/appdaemon-new-config-location-issue/674558/4

I use the Appdaemon addon version 0.16.3 on Haos and the app folder are now moved to /root/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps

When installing ControllerX app it is installed to /root/config/appdaemon/apps (symlinked to /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps).

To use the new app location /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps you need to edit /root/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml and include app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/ like this:

appdaemon:
  latitude: 58.33533
  longitude: 8.53705
  elevation: 2
  time_zone: Europe/Oslo
  app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
http:
  url: http://127.0.0.1:5050
admin:
api:
hadashboard:

Then you must copy your other *.py and *.yaml files which is placed in /root/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps to /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/

Hi all, I have added new installation steps to the preview documentation:

https://controllerx.netlify.app/controllerx/start/installation/

Hope the steps are more clear and solve the issue that people might have when updating or installing ControllerX for now.

Thanks!
