Hey there @kane610, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (unifi) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

Have you tried disabling it during upgrade?

[rodgermoore]

Same issue on Hassbian with 0.95.4 on Python 3.7.3.
"Check config" gives:

Configuration validation Validate your configuration if you recently made some changes to your configuration and want to make sure that it is all valid Configuration invalid Platform not found: device_tracker.unifi

EDIT 03-07-2019:
Just reverted back to 0.94.4 --> issue is gone.

[Kane610]

I've reproduced this on a clean install. Weird it doesn't happen on my dev environment.

Try stopping Hass and then starting it to see if that works. Seems to be verifying the configuration that breaks

[juan11perez]

I'm experiencing the same issue. It's hit and miss. Sometimes it integrates, sometimes it doesn't.
On an clean install with nothing else, yes it loads no problem.
As soon as you put into production with the rest of components it starts acting up.

Thinking that the Synology sensor in 0.95.x is a little flaky. I have never received a platform not found error, but having issues getting it connect to UniFi at all now. Refer https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unable-to-connect-to-unifi-controller-5-10-25-using-ha-0-95-x for the full details.

I have the same issuse as above. Unifi component was ok on 0.94.3, now is broken:

[aheath70]

@michalterbert. Try configuring the UniFi integration through the Configuration/Integrations menu. Leave your sensors there - configure both.

I did that under the direction of one of the code owners of the UniFi integration (not sure if it was you, @Kane610 under another user id in the HA community forums), and it seems to have resolved the connection issues as far as I can tell.

I had the same issue - I confirm that adding it through the Configuration/Integrations menu solves the issue.

[davekempe]

I had the same issue - I confirm that adding it through the Configuration/Integrations menu solves the issue.

Only once I did this did the log say it was installing requirements. Not sure if that is a manifest parsing bug, or another clue.

[andreasfelder]

The Integration page workaround addresses the Unifi component however if I read the documentation correctly the device tracker part is not covered in the unifi component configured through the integrations page.

[andreasfelder]

For the device tracker you can use the workaround of disabling the config and running the upgrade without the unifi device tracker enabled. Once upgraded to 95.x you can re-enable the unifi device tracker and everything seems to be working.

[aLTeReGo-SWI]

What do those who already upgraded and don't have a backup do?

[andreasfelder]

@alterego-SWI you should be able to just disable the device tracker config part. Then the system should boot without issue. Once done you can re-enable. Mine upgraded fine without the config in there at time of upgrade after I could just re-enable and everything worked fine.
