As of Home Assistant Core 2026.6, using a config entry listener together with any reloading methods in a config flow is deprecated and will result in an error from 2026.12.

Background​

Using a config entry listener together with any reloading methods in a config flow can cause the integration to reload twice and/or create a race condition.

Possible solutions​

  • Remove the config entry listener and rely only on the reloading methods in your config flow.
  • Use async_update_and_abort() instead of async_update_reload_and_abort().
  • Set reload_on_update=False when calling _abort_if_unique_id_configured().
