AttributeError: property 'config_dir' of 'Notifier_Dispatch' object has no setter

[jokerigno]

Hi, i do have same issue. Any update?

[annonifausto]

There is no one that reply. The solution is remove the package and try to find another one.
Thx

[mperg70]

...exactly same issue here. Anybody tried to reinstall the Notifier? Thx

[annonifausto]

yes , it work only in telegram and compamion app but not work in persistent

[caiosweet]

Hi. Regex problem.
To solve it, you will need to prepend r to each regex... I'm trying to put the correct version online

[annonifausto]

ok but the issue "AttributeError: property 'config_dir' of 'Notifier_Dispatch' object has no setter
2025-05-30 22:47:28.289321 ERROR Error: File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/appdaemon/app_management.py", line 389, in start_app". is not related to regex but is error of new versio of pyrhon installed by appdaemon i have changed all regex wiyh double \ and the first erro work but doesn't work only persistent notify and package natural events is stop sending notify

[caiosweet]

Rename config_dir in configdir (file notifier_dispatch)...
ex: self.configdir = self.config["config_dir"] #"/homeassistant"
I'm trying to modify the minimum, but this project is no longer active... :(

[caiosweet]

I don't know, I patched it up a bit. Here's my version.

Ciao. dopo il tuo intervento appdaemon non da più errorri ma non arrivano le notifiche su alexa e google per esempio la notifica
[Jerry - 17:31:15] HomeAssistant Start!
Buonasera.
📬 Jerry è operativo!. 🕵️
🟩 Home Assistant initialized in 50.21s
non arriva più.
cìè da mofdicifare anche il blueprint?
Ti ringrazio per un riscontro

[caiosweet]

Vedo cosa posso fare e verificare... vi aggiorno.

[caiosweet]

Allora, purtroppo sono passati due anni senza aggiornare nulla, e l'unica cosa che ho potuto verificare è che non prende il notify di default... quindi l'ho messo manualmente e sono ritornate le notifiche... dovrei mettermi un bel po' di tempo a scovare errori e tanto altro su un progetto che mi pare sia stato abbandonato :D ... una FIX veloce è quella di mettere il notify qui:
(esempio ho messo - Telegram

[mperg70]

Grazie Caio, or better said, Thank you! After your hint I have got Alexa talking thanks to a small change in the file alexa_manager.py; just erase in rows 613 e 633 the sentence ", return_result=True", so that they both become

        self.call_service("alexa_media/update_last_called") 

after that Alexa is back, at least for me.

E comunque non mi sembra abbandonato questo progetto, siamo in tanti ad usarlo! Grazie ancora, vediamo se vengono fuori altri errori di sintassi.

Per questo non riesco ancora a trovare il bug, se il campo è vuoto, non prende il notify default e non parte la notifica, quindi niente testo e audio (googlo e/o alexa). Per adesso va messo almeno quello ch si usa di più :) (es io telegram)
