Thanks for the heads up!
Can you try with the latest beta and see if it works now?
I don't have much time and energy to maintain this repo at the moment, but this seemed kinda urgent

[aherbjornsen]

Thanks for the fast response.

I installed 1.5.3 beta, and the errors reported have disappeared

But the integration does not seem to load and I see this during startup:

[erlendsellie]

I think this is a bug related to updating to above 1.5 (the betas).
Could you try to click "Configure" for the integration, and save it (no changes necessary) from /config/integrations/integration/priceanalyzer ?
The new multiply-template seems to cause some issues, and the "default when nothing is provided" fails.

[aherbjornsen]

Yes, that worked.
Now the integration is back up again and seems to be working fine.
Thanks again!

Similar problem with 2024.5.2, but latest beta + reconfigure (and restart HA) solved the problem.

FWIW I still see asyncio related warning from priceanalyzer, using HA 2024.7.2:
