No tray icon displayed after install

[portigui]

I have installed the appropriate deb file for my distro and I am not seeing the tray icon. My distro is Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. I have rebooted and removed/reinstalled both to no avail.

I can run the command from the cli but it just tries to connect to a local Home Assistant which does not exist.

$ go-hass-agent run
2025/07/11 17:54:09.125627 WARN RESTY Post "http://localhost:8123": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8123: connect: connection refused, Attempt 1

I see in ~/.config/go-hass-agent that there is an agent log. It has this output, similar to the one above.

level=ERROR msg="Command failed." command=run error="run command failed\ncould not create client: could not update config: send request failed: Post "http
://localhost:8123": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8123: connect: connection refused"

I am not sure what to do at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey there, thanks for trying out Go Hass Agent and that is definitely not the desired outcome when starting!

Just to check, this is a fresh/new install? Do you see a window appearing asking you to enter Home Assistant details?

Could you try running with debug logging enabled and post the results here (please check before posting to remove sensitive information):

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

Hey there,

I've spent some time looking into this and I was able to reproduce this situation myself. I've implemented a fix and just released version 13.3.1 which contains a fix.

Can you please try that version and see if it fixes the issue for you? Cheers!

Hello mate, sorry for the delay as I was on Holiday. I installed the new version and everything is working as I expected! Thanks for the fix and the great work!

Well, almost everything. It is in the tray and showing sensors on the laptop but it is not showing up under Mobile Apps in HA. I will look into that a little further.

Looking at the console that I started the agent on is being spammed with messages similar to this one:
WARN Send sensor registration failed. hass.sensor.name="Total Bytes Sent Throughput" hass.sensor.id=total_bytes_sent_throughput hass.sensor.state="19540 B/s" hass.error="error handling sensor data: unexpected end of JSON input"

My HA info:
Installation method: Home Assistant OS Core: 2025.7.4 Supervisor: 2025.07.2 Operating System: 16.0 Frontend: 20250702.3

Sorry for the trouble but I do appreciate the assistance. Thanks mate!
