Bad Entity Controller

I am getting this error

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:162
First occurred: 12:16:34 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 12:16:34 PM
Setup failed for custom integration entity_controller: Unable to import component: Unable to import component: cannot import name ‘Machine’ from ‘transitions’ (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/transitions/init.py)

I had machine failure yesterday (ECC memory died) and this could be related. I saved the VM from the old harddisk and have started rebuilding on a new machine. Anyone have an idea what is wrong and what needs to be done?

Looks like you have a problem with https://github.com/danobot/entity-controller - I’d check that you’re on the current release and open an issue with the developer if so.

I don’t think it is a bug. It was working and then it didn’t. I am on 2022.05.04. I have updated everything I could. I removed the entity controller from hacs and now I get this in my error messages.

It was working and I was trying to rebuild my energy (integration, sensors and utility meters) system and the original problem occurred.

I have it working again. The entity_controller was in hacs. I removed it and all configuration references and it is running. I will reinstall as needed.

Thanks for your help
