Workaround found:

Delete line 80 "device_type": self._component, in audi_entity.py and restart HASS

Thanks for the info, now it works again.

However, what is the impact of this removal (if any)?

Cheers,

For the device tracker the same action works.
in device_tracker.py Simple put a # for line 124 it looks like this:
# "device_type": "device_tracker",

I think there is no impact, it seems to me that they added validation to the config and thats why it doesn't work anymore: (see history https://github.com/home-assistant/core/commits/42bca0f94a393ed841f03f7d60d99d2881851b47/homeassistant/helpers/device_registry.py)

If I look at https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/device_registry_index/#device-properties then I don't see anything where device_type (or similar) would be needed.

Thanks !!
Reloading the integration was enough for me, no need to restart HA
