Error occurred loading flow

[CameronMease]

I cannot get HA-sma working. I've tried both editing configuration.yml and adding in the GUI. Same results either way. The error log consists of the following:

2024-01-22 12:02:16.647 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading flow for integration sma_webbox: cannot import name 'WEBBOX_PORT' from 'custom_components.sma_webbox.sma_webbox' (/config/custom_components/sma_webbox/sma_webbox/init.py)

If adding SMA Webbox from the GUI the popup displays (before entering any data):

My version of Home Assistant is 2024.1.4 and it is running in Docker, on Linux.

Thank you

Hi Cameron, Could you try to run the following command from your docker instance already and report results:

docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
bash-5.1# python3 custom_components/sma_webbox/sma_webbox.py <webbox ip_address>

Cheers, jpc

Hello, JPC. Thank you for the quick response! Bash command works like a charm:

OK, i.e. you see meaningful data logs I guess (was expected unless there was an issue with your hacs/custom_components install for some reasons or a webbox interop issue) => can you try with a 2023.12.3 test instances (version I'm currently running on) iso 2024.1.4 ?

If OK with the former but not the latter I'll investigate further.

That may take me a bit of time, but yes I will.

Thank you, Cameron

Hi Cameron, I did a fresh docker install using 2024.1.4, installed HACS within the container then this integration and I didn't saw any issue. I also upgraded my own HA to 2024.1.5 without issues either. How did you install the SMA Webbox component ? Could you also upload logs from the bash command above ? Cheers, jpc

[CameronMease]

I installed by copying the custom_components/sma_webbox directory to custom_components/web_box in my configuration directory.

It should be sma_webbox (not web_box), that's why the import fails

You should consider to use HACS to manage component installation but also update from the UI

I'm not sure why I wrote web_box. I actually did put it in sma_webbox. I removed this and installed HACS. Using HACS, the integration is now working.

Thank you, Cameron

Great to hear this and thanks for the feedback. Not sure then why it makes a difference (HACS is basically checking out a repo in custom_components as well) but as I said moving forward it will help you to manage this/other integrations more effectively. Cheers, jpc
