Error When Setting Up Integration - Config flow could not be loaded: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}

luckylinux commented 7 months ago

Describe the issue

I'm trying to setup the integration with Home Assistant Docker/Podman (IIRC this is called Home Assistant Core).

After the clicking Settings -> Integrations -> Add Integration -> Search for "Ally" -> Click

And the initial message:

Please wait, starting configuration wizard for danfoss_ally

I get this error:

Config flow could not be loaded: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2023.12.4

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Core

Diagnostics information

None (cannot add the integration)

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Additional information

The error message is pretty self-explanatory. The required Python modules need to be installed, possibly into a venv, by PIP.

However, how to solve this with a (pre-built) Docker Image from Home Assistant it's not.

If I was doing something from scratch, I'd just write a Dockerfile and setup my own venv in there, similarly to what I do in my own projects.

But is there a way to do this when the image is shipped by somebody else (i.e. pre-built) ? Or the only solution is to take their Dockerfile and modify to suit all my needs ?

Thank you for your help :)

HA 2023.12.4 is already pretty outdated, so please update. Not sure Danfoss Ally integration actually supports usage in 2023.12.4 anymore

Alright. Weird ... I had pulled home-assistant:stable yesterday just to make sure I was on the latest version.

Now I added pull_policy: "always" in my compose.yml file and it seems to be working.

Now version is 2024.3.1.

And I am getting asked to provide API key and API secret

That is correct - you get that from the developer portal
