core: Vizio TV won't integrate with Hass.io

The problem

I have had my Vizio TV configured and working well for over a year, and just recently I think it was after I updated to 0.106. I realized that the vizio media player entity was missing. I am not sure when exactly but it was about the time that there was a change in the config.yaml where you use the vizio component instead of the media_player.

Environment

Home Assistant release with the issue: 0.107.7
Last working Home Assistant release (if known): 0.105
Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Hass.io/imac
Integration causing this issue: Vizio SmartCast
Link to integration documentation on our website: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/vizio/

Problem-relevant `configuration.yaml`

vizio:
  - host: !secret tv_address
    access_token: !secret tv_token

secrets.yaml

tv_address: 192.168.x.xxx:7345
tv_token: "Z8qxn6o5de"

Additional information

I have noticed that Google Cast was still configured so I deleted it and commented out the vizio section in my config, restart and then uncomment and restart again but only the Google Cast came up for configuration.

Ah it looks like when you ignore a setup it creates a different key. I will talk to the core team about the best way to address this and push a fix

Thanks very much for the advice. I will backup, and give editing .storage vizio entries a try, and get back to you.

Hi @raman325 - my apologies for commenting on a closed case. I am doing so since the error message I am getting is identical to the error in the OP. However, I am NOT trying to set up a Vizio integration, although I do have a Vizio SmartCast TV on the network. This error is apparently coming from the zeroconf discovery process and finding a glitch in Vizio config_flow.py. All I am hoping you can tell me is if this is a known issue in the Vizio code that will be fixed and/or what I can do to eliminate it. This first started in 107.x I believe, and is still present in 108.3. Let me know if I need to open a new case. Thanks.
