AppDaemon error when using a constrain_input_select

[MagicMicky]

I believe I updated either AppDaemon and/or ControllerX recently. Since then my ControllerX apps which contains contrain_input_select fail and error out in AppDaemon with the following error:

2021-05-23 13:06:45.864181 WARNING AppDaemon: ------------------------------------------------------------

Example of a controllerX configuration

salon_music_controller_everywhere:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1744MediaPlayerController
  controller: "68:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
  integration: zha
  delay: 500
  volume_steps: 20
  media_player: media_player.everywhere
  constrain_input_select: input_select.everywhere_playback_status,playing
  actions: 
    - move_1_195
    - move_0_195
    - stop

I suppose it might be an AppDaemon error and not a ControllerX error, but my knowledge here is super limited so thought about starting here.

Having the same exact issue, but with lights

it seems deleting the actual constrain fixes the issue

Hi @MagicMicky and @darksider4all,

Thank you for reporting this bug. I have released a patch v4.11.2 that should fix this issue. It will be ready to download in 5 minutes after this post.

Let me know if you keep getting the error after upgrading and restarting AppDaemon.

Regards,
Xavi M.

Working (after update + restart of Home assistant and AppDaemon)

Thanks a lot for the fix!
