Config flow fails during setup: PoolControllerConfigFlow doesn't support step 'init'

[DJ3vil]

Problem

After installing the integration through HACS and restarting Home Assistant, I cannot add the integration.
When I click Add Integration, the following error is shown:
Der Konfigurationsfluss konnte nicht geladen werden:
{"message":"Handler PoolControllerConfigFlow doesn't support step init"}

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the integration via HACS
2. Restart Home Assistant
3. Go to Settings → Devices & Services
4. Click "Add Integration"
5. Select Pool Controller

Environment

• Home Assistant version: 2026.5.3
• Integration version: 2.3.43
• Installation type: HAOS
• HACS version: 2.0.5

Possible cause:

In config_flow.py, async_step_user() displays the first form using:

step_id="init"

but PoolControllerConfigFlow does not implement an async_step_init() method.

After changing:

step_id="init"

to:

step_id="user"

and restarting Home Assistant, the integration could be added successfully and the configuration wizard started normally.

I had the same issue and your fix worked like a charm.
