reinstall integration in HA failed

[bartve66]

I want to reinstall the HACS integration for Button+ in Home Assistant. Downloading the integration in HACS works, but when I want to add the integration in HA it asks for login + password for Button+ (I assume the credentials are for the button.plus website?) OR the auth cookie after logging in to button.plus. When I enter login/password HA reports after hitting 'send' that the configuration failed. The log says the following:

Am I doing something wrong? Would it work with the auth cookie? I just don't know how to get that ...

Hmm seems you are using the old login feature that I created when I didn't have a physical device.

It's deprecated and will be removed soon. Please try connecting using the local IP address of your button plus.

Tried that, but also an error. From the logs:

json_loads was called from hacs, this is a deprecated function which will be removed in HA Core 2025.8. Use homeassistant.util.json.json_loads instead, please create a bug report at https://github.com/hacs/integration/issues

There is a bit more useful information in this error. There seems to be a Event Type registered in your existing Button+ config that is unknown to the Integration (number 2).

Can you show me a screenshot of your config from the web ui which events you have on the button plus?

[bartve66]

Here is a screen shot with the configuration management sub menu open. I could not find an 'event' in the other sub menus? If you need info from one of the other sub menus I can post another screen shot?

[koenhendriks]

I just took a look into the virtual device configuration and it seems the event type that is causing the error is 'Click released'.

You should be able to find it under Button configuration -> MQTT topics

It seems the integration is out of date with the current Event types that are in the web configuration.

For now you can fix this by removing the 'Click released' topics or resetting the configuration entirely.

[bartve66]

That worked, with some hits and misses. I already noticed the click event in the MQTT topics sub menu, and removed it. Also removed the integration from HA and HACS, and started over. That did not solve the issue. Maybe somewhere in HA some configuration info is left?
Resetting the button plus device to factory defaults worked in the end, but first attempt to install the integration in HA after filling in the button plus device URL and hitting send it was endlessly showing that window 'looping'?
Some attempts later the integration was installed.
Observation (also from the old setup): although I first renamed the device in de button plus setup (through the the URL of the device) to 'bplus_wk1', after installing the integration all button plus related devices are referred to in HA by the factory defined name of the device ('btn_45a400'), which is a bit confusing?
Many thanks for your assistance!
