How did you install the integration? Can you check your logs?

HI Mick, sure thing this is all I have in the logs:

Logger: homeassistant.config_entries Source: config_entries.py:749 First occurred: July 4, 2022, 2:29:25 PM (1 occurrences) Last logged: July 4, 2022, 2:29:25 PM

I'm having the same issue. It's also not available from the 'Add integration' dialog or on the home assistant website.

My repro path is clicking this link: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/config_flow_start/?domain=nest_protect

Click on 'OPEN LINK'

Then the following error is shown:

I'm having the latest and greatest version of HA:

Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration nest_protect: No module named 'custom_components.nest_protect_old.pynest.const'

@macnet1 did you rename the component? Why does it show 'nest_protect_old'?

@wesselkranenborg please include your log as well, otherwise I cannot debug this.

For both of you, if you are maybe not very familiar with custom components, you can also install this component via HACS.

[macnet1]

@iMicknl I renamed the folder as a result of the error message and tried to reinstall the component I don't understand why its picked up 'nest_protect_old'. I have now deleted that folder with still no change and in the logs I get -

Logger: homeassistant.config_entries Source: config_entries.py:784 First occurred: 10:22:47 AM (1 occurrences) Last logged: 10:22:47 AM

Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration nest_protect: No module named 'custom_components.nest_protect_old.pynest.const'

Is there a way to remove this error ?

Thanks :)

Hi all. I was gonna post I was having the same issue but then I had a "duh" moment. Maybe its the same issue for you guys...

The Add integration button wont work until the you add the repository to HACS, then reboot, then click on the link again and it will work. This was my issue.

So if you dont see this in your HACS INTEGRATIONS page, you will NEVER be able to use that link to add it to your HA INTEGRATIONS.

---To creator, you may want to add that in your instructions as I was confused at first too. Just tell people they still need to download the repository first, then click the quick link.

This was indeed the issue at my side, so my bad. Sorry.

It would indeed be nice if that's added to the readme. For newbies like me, that would be helpful :-).

@wesselkranenborg @nappyjim not sure what I can add, any suggestions? Looking at the README it already mentions that you need to install & reboot?

Granted both myself and @wesselkranenborg should have read slower, but at quick glance I saw these directions as, "i can install this either manually or via Hacs. If I want to do it through HACS, I just need to click the 'Add Integration' button and I should be done.

I would suggest splitting up the install into steps. My eyes are drawn to numbered directions as opposed to one paragraph with multiple steps inside of it. Great integration BTW!

Step 1: Install the HAC integration. List options for how to do this Step 2: Reboot Home assistant Step 3: Install home assistant integration. List options for how do to this.

I experienced exactly the same and until searching for and reading this issue do I understand I should have RTFM'd a bit more carefully. Starting with home assistant you become used to seeing a "add integration" button and just clicking it, assuming all works from there :)
