I can't install KNX integration. I got a message: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}
Furthermore, I've tried everything. Latest version of HA and core. PIP XKNX 3.8.0. Clear cache. Configuration file without any knx entries. What else can I do? Log in attachment.

Hi! You should never have to pip anything manually. What installation method are you running, and what exact version?
This log looks like HAs loader gets stuck and doesn't even load xknx.
sacred orbit
My HA version is 2025.7.1 I don't know anything about the knx version

Can you install other integrations?
What is your installation method? HA OS or Container?
Did you try installing Knx in safe mode? https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting_general/#restarting-home-assistant-in-safe-mode
sacred orbit
yes I can, HA OS, . I try to install in safe mode and it is added to ha but in "normal mode ha starts with this:
sacred orbit
I noticed that knx is trying to be imported from python 3.13 and I have python 3.12, could that be a problem?
strange pollen
when you run current HA OS and Core, you can't have python 3.12
If it works in safe-mode, but doesn't without, I think there might be a custom component or something screwing with your installation.
sacred orbit
it installs but does not work properly. it detects the knx server automatically in the network but does not work.

No idea where this is all coming from. Have you considered setting up a new HA and trying to install? Maybe on a different device. (In every case, do a backup first)
sacred orbit
I installed a new system and uploaded a backup - the same thing. I had knx in node red before and it worked, but now I don't have this palette in node red

I do t think this has anything to do with Knx. It just can't install dependencies properly which is a HA problem ... but I've never seen that before.
"Tunnel connection could not be established" indicates that it was installed after all though... so not sure why this came up. Maybe you can find something in the logs.
sacred orbit
something is wrong with these paths though. My /usr/local/lib is empty butknx is looking for something there
sacred orbit
Ok empty because i cant see docker.

I located the source of the problem. I checked custom_components one by one and the issue was: cover-time-based https://github.com/davidramosweb/home-assistant-custom-components-cover-time-based. It somehow negatively affects KNX integration. I deleted it.
strange pollen
Haha, I even filed an issue some decades ago. Seems like this component is abandoned. https://github.com/davidramosweb/home-assistant-custom-components-cover-time-based/issues/18
There are some similar components that did the same, but fixed it when we found this issue. Don't recall the repo though.
sacred orbit
I would never have guessed that this component uses xknx. I wasted several hours...😫
