This looks like a problem with the aiofiles package. Possibly restarting HA will cause it to install aiofiles. I have tried several versions of HA and can't reproduce the issue.

[gadire]

Restart did not help.
I think it has to do with these blinkpy changes-
fronzbot/blinkpy@cb1dd49
Maybe incompatible python version?

[mkmer]

It is strange, AFIK, it's working for many users (including myself).

[gadire]

Installing HA from scratch solved it

[gadire]

After reboot, same issue i had before reappears.
Any ideas?
Is it possible blinkpy-0.22.0 isn't being referenced for some reason?

I'm having the same issue here. I updated HA core and the OS, running in a vm on Virtual Box

same issue there,
[31m2024-04-11 16:14:13.898 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading flow for integration blink: cannot import name 'ospath' from 'aiofiles' (/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/aiofiles/__init__.py)�[0m
with a docker install

[mkmer]

I'm at 2024.4.2 in docker container , not seeing this issue and have not seen it in any previous versions.
@fabiencheret what version are you on? What architecture? It may be a build issue with a specific docker architecture?

[fabiencheret]

Thanks, I'm using 2024.4.2. image: homeassistant/home-assistant:stable on 5.15.0-94-generic ubuntu x86_64

[mkmer]

Official HA:
ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:latest ?
uname -a : Linux HomeAssistant 5.15.0-102-generic #112-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 5 16:50:32 UTC 2024 x86_64 Linux
Strange that your running different base container if you retrieved it from to official repo.

Please attach the diagnostic data (integration -> three dots -> download diagnostics). I'm thinking some other integration is causing a dependency issue on aiofiles (maybe).
