Why are these needed?
- meta-oe (dunfell) : contains meta-python
- meta-python (dunfell) : contains many of the required python3 packages
- meta-python-mixin (dunfell) : contains meta-python backported recipe versions for dunfell
- meta-security (dunfell): required for nmap used for presence detection
Home Assistant requires specific versions of some of its python dependencies. The recipe makes sure those dependencies are satisfied at root filesystem generation time but that doesn't give any gurantees that bitbake will pick a version that satisfies the version restriction in RDEPENDS. In order for the build to select the right versions, your distro file should include the version selection in conf/distro/include/ha-versions.inc when you are building python3-homeassistant. A sample distro (that can also be used as such, is provided - see homeassistant.conf).
Please submit any patches against the homeassistant as Pull Requests on Github.
