Error cannot import name 'ENTITY_ID_FORMAT' april or mai 2024 update

Hello everyone,
I’m using an old custom custom component for a zigbee controler (zigate), wich has not been updated since a long time, because I cannot easily repair some of my devices if I change to ZHA.
I forked the repo some time ago to do changes to make it compatible when there was an error updating home assistant with breaking changes.
Here is the repo : homeassistant-zigate.

Today I tried to update from 2024.3.3 to 2024.5.4, but after the update, this component is no longer working, giving me this error :

Enregistreur: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:322

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I’m not able to find why I have this problem.
I tried to look at the init.py file where I can see this command :

from homeassistant.components.group import \
    ENTITY_ID_FORMAT as GROUP_ENTITY_ID_FORMAT

but I do not understand why there is this problem.

Could someone help my figure this out ?
Thanks a lot.

Ok I managed to solve the problem. I post it here so if other have the same problem here is the solution.

On the april 2024 update, there were changes in the homeassistant.components.group as you can see here. If you show the diff for all files you can see that some variables changed from “init.py” file to others.

So for my custom component, in my “init.py” file, I changed the definition of my variable from “homeassistant.components.group” to “homeassistant.components.group.entity” (the change depends on where variable moved).
