smartrent-py==0.5.0 fails to install after Home Assistant 2025.8.0 upgrade due to unsatisfiable websockets requirement

[mauricekp]

Hi,

After upgrading Home Assistant to 2025.8.0, the SmartRent custom integration no longer loads. The logs show the following error:

Logger: homeassistant.util.package

Setup failed for custom integration 'smartrent': Requirements for smartrent not found: ['smartrent-py==0.5.0'].

Notes:

• This integration worked fine prior to the 2025.8.0 HA update.
• The dependency conflict appears to be caused by smartrent-py specifying two mutually exclusive websockets version ranges in its metadata.
• This makes the package impossible to install in HA’s Python environment.
• It looks like there is already a pending pull request addressing this dependency issue, but until it is merged and released, the integration remains broken on 2025.8.0.

I looked at it yesterday and saw the PR and thought all Zach would need to do is merge, but I'm wondering if we need to also update this repo to use the updated version of that module?

smartrent-py needs to be updated first, then if Zach, for whatever reason, doesn't update the HA component himself, I can submit a pull request for the change in the component. I believe it's just one line that refers back to the particular smartrent-py version number. I would submit the pull request now, but I have no way to know for sure what version number he'll use once he merges my request. Either way, once smartrent-py is updated, you can manually change the line pretty easily in your HA config until the component is updated. Unfortunately, you can't just update the config yourself in HA for the library since HA pulls that from PyPI.

Even with the new update I’m still experiencing these issues reinstalling the addon. Am I supposed to update the config files or will reinstalling with the new code help? I’m so lost and I use smart rent for my thermostats and door, and reinstalling gives the same results even with 0.5.2.

[jamesbiederbeck]

Same. This is expected. Looks like 0.5.2 is the version before the fix, which is 0.5.3.
See this commit for reference:
ZacheryThomas/homeassistant-smartrent@a5006f5

So you'll have to upgrade to 0.5.3. I'm not sure why I'm not getting an upgrade prompt.
