proxmoxve:
  - host: ! secrets proxmox_ip
    username: ! secrets proxmox_username
    password: ! secrets proxmox_password
    verify_ssl: false
    nodes:
      - node: U55-A
        vms:
          - 100
          - 101

Any advice please on this connection problem ?
Thank you

The problem was the use of “! secrets” in the configuration.yaml file

After setting the host,username and password parameters as per the integration doc , the errors are gone and the proxmox integration starts OK and polls the 2 VM each minute

it should work with no space between ! and secret. Here is mine that works:

proxmoxve:
  - host: pve.local
    username: !secret proxmoxve_username
    password: !secret proxmoxve_password
    verify_ssl: false
    nodes:
      - node: pve
      - node: pve2
