Expected behaviour
I understand the error about not able to find Upower. This as i'm using a virtualized environment. I uninstalled all power-saving stuff (such as upower). Otherwise the environment would controll the whole machine/host.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Distribution: LXC virtualized Debian 12 + Plasma desktop
• Version: 12

Hey there,

That is an odd error. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to reproduce and understand how the code referenced in the stack trace could result in a nil pointer panic. Would you be able to run the agent with debug logging enabled, that might reveal some more details that could help with troubleshooting. You can run the agent with debug with the following command:

go-hass-agent --log-level debug run

Thanks for trying out the agent!

[joshuar]

Hey there, just wanted to follow-up and see if you can provide debug level logging with the command I posted above? Also, there is a new version that is worth trying with as a lot of code was refactored: v9.4.0.

Hey there, I haven't been able to reproduce this myself. I would need some more information, such as a debug logs I've requested, in order to continue troubleshooting this issue. Would you be able to try the latest release and if the issue is still present, provide debug logs?
