SMA configuration fails after updating HA

Hello,

I am getting an error for the SMA integration for my inverter.

How can I solve this?

I take it you have moved over to the UI installation method as mentioned in the release notes as a breaking change

3

Thanks! I removed it from my configuration, but the same error is thrown.
Restarted again and still the error is there.
What am I doing wrong?

4

do you have it listed as a custom integrations or in configuration.yaml still

5

I removed it from configuration.yaml.
Should I remove some more?

6

do you have any sensors defined using the old version as error indicates there isalready a sensor

sensor.pv_power’

7

I used some of them to calculate daily values etc. using utility_meter and also did some calculations with them, however not with sensor.pv_power.
And in the breaking changes I read this:

Existing YAML configuration is automatically imported on upgrade and can be safely removed after upgrade.

So it should take the old sensors I guess and continue to use them?
Something isn’t correct yet, but I don’t have a clue…

8

i think it copies the config over, not the sensors, so if defined they need to be removed as it will create them for you

Thanks! I removed all the entities and restarted. Works again! :smiley:
