PR #91141 was opened. The change is super simple:

I don’t know if I’ll survive Home Assistant merge bureaucracy, but there it is.

Yeah, tried multiple ways to remove, and can’t seem to either. Including completely removing the integration and adding it back. I’ll watch here for updates.

Thanks @jyavenard that gives me a lot of context.

So, I see there is a lot of politics here.

In the meantime I need a working integration. I just published the code of the integration with the fix here if anyone needs it:

https://github.com/kuralabs/iotawatt_ha

To install, go to your config directory and execute the following command:

mkdir -p custom_components
cd custom_components
git clone --branch 1.0.0 --depth 1 https://github.com/kuralabs/iotawatt_ha.git iotawatt
