It feels like this plugin breaks more often than it works. Is there a better way to integrate python scripting into HA?

I don't find that it ever breaks, and it runs all my lighting and a bunch of other stuff

#

You can use AppDaemon, or just native automations

#

Have you been filing issues for PyScript? Does it just fix itself for you?

#

it seems to lose the location of any custom scripts every time HA is upgraded. not sure if it's a symbolic link that gets whacked or what, but I end up having to SSH in and muck around with that until it works again

Seems like maybe a configuration issue in your installation. The location doesn't change

#

Add files with a suffix of .py in the folder <config>/pyscript.

#

It's just an integration

#

Been that way for the 3 years I've used it
