I've been using this brilliant solution for quite a few years. It's running on a PI and I've never had an issue before. However! I recently apt upgraded the Raspbian OS and now controller.py won't start up. Here's some additional info

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster

Here's the error when loading via the cli

root@pi:/home/pi/garage-door-controller# python controller.py
Unhandled error in Deferred:

I've pulled a clean version using the install guide and currently have the default config file having also tried the previous (working) config.

Any suggestions/thoughts as to what's failing?

Thanks

I've reinstalled raspbian on the PI and that comes with Python3. Looking at the forum that won't work with this code. It's a real shame as this software is brilliant. I'm not going to spend anymore time on this and instead look for an altertive tool.
