I cant get AppDaemon to work. Im using Pi4 with Home Assistant OS and installed the AppDaemon 4 Add on from the store. gui under :5050 is reachable, but it only shows the "Hello world" app...

from the get go there where no files added under /config/appdaemon/apps
nor
/config/apps/
nor
/config/appdaemon.yaml

i tried different variations of adding the apps.yaml + a test.py
into either /config/appdaemon/apps or in /config/apps

and also created /config/appdaemon.yaml with:

appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  app_dir: /config/appdaemon/apps

all im getting is the hello world app.
also under :5050 under entities im only getting a few appdaemon related sensors, shouldnt there be the home assistant entities? any ideas?

looks like this is the directory you are looking for:
/addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/
your exact name may vary.

#

I just installed the addon to test:

#

addons are containers and that is where the files for it are stored. if you add the files to the host system or in another containers context. the addon container wont see them.
