Okay I found a workaround:

Activate system ssh access (not via hassio addon, see documentation)
Enter the following command to upgrade the package construct to the latest version:

docker exec homeassistant pip3 install construct==2.9.29

(Note: On my system this seems to not affect any other component. But for yours it could be...)

BTW: If you are using Hass.io and want to downgrade for the time being, check this out:

@elmurato I might actually do that, just hope it doesn't break anything else.

ok, rolled back to 0.61.1 and the eq3 component immediately started working again.

disrupted on 2 Feb 2018

The same with HA version 0.62.1.

r-jordan on 2 Feb 2018

@r-jordan yes, tested that one as well before rolling back.

any news regarding this component?

Just tested 0.63: Same problem :(

Issue #12298 has the same problem.

I get hung up at this every time:
Create an authorized_keys file containing your public key, and place it in the root of the boot partition of your SD card.
How do I access this? I put the SD-Card in my PC and it does not even see it. I can't find this boot partition.
