HPM errors- 100's of Invalid tag/category

dnickel · September 8, 2026, 5:02pm

I was playing with HPM looking for stuff and I did an "Install | Browse by Tag"

I don't normally do this. I looked in the logs this morning and I have hundreds of log errors.

Maybe something was updated in HPM and the repositories are now non-conformant?

They are Warnings. The 'owners' of the Packages have included invalid Tags.

The allowed list is here:

github.com/HubitatCommunity/hubitat-packagerepositories

settings.json

master

{
	"categories": [
		"Control",
		"Convenience",
		"Integrations",
		"Notifications",
		"Security",
		"Utility"
	],
	"tags": [
		"Alarm Systems",
		"Appliances",
		"Automations & Groups",
		"Bathroom",
		"Buttons",
		"Cameras",
		"Cleaning Devices",
		"Climate Control",
		"Cloud",
		"Dashboards",

You can safely ignore those warnings. The owners should correct their Manifests, but they may not realize that tags not free form text.
