[solved]Pimatic won't start up after crash

Raducanu

Hello,

this morning i deleted some devices which are not longer needed.
Then my pimatic service crashed and is not able to restart it.

I replaced the database file with a backup taken last night, but same problem.
Any idea?

@Raducanu looks more like a problem with your config.

Maybe check if you have devices/rules which use variables which were supplied by the delted devices.

@thex Thank you for that hint.
I removed all my mqtt stuff. But i had some variables with RegEx using mqtt devices as an “input”.
Clead up my config file and now pimatic start up again…

Addition:

Pimatic starts up fine if launched from commandline.
But if started as a service i receive:

09:49:35.313 2017-03-28 Tuesday
09:49:43.784 [pimatic] info: Starting pimatic version 0.9.38

Addition 2:
Rebooted Pi, works fine again
