[homeassistant] Error doing job: Task was destroyed but it is pending!

The problem

For something like a year I have seen this in the log every single time I start Home Assistant.

[homeassistant] Error doing job: Task was destroyed but it is pending!

I cannot trace what causes it. Last year people reported it as related to automations but I tried to remove all automations that run at start and it did not make a difference.

I have enabled debugging in the HA log and pasted the entire log below

What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2021.5.2

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

At least a year ago

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

Harmony

Link to integration documentation on our website

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/harmony/

Example YAML snippet

N/A

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Additional information

I cannot see what it is that causes the issue. I have several Google Assistant devices. 7 to be exact

The ERROR is in an area of the log where HA inits connection to a Google Assistant box.

But is it related? I cannot see anything failing. It just spits out the single error in the middle of the log with nothing I can see that fails afterwards

EDIT. See discussion below. Issue seems related to the Harmony integration and not at all Google.

Hi,

I have never even heard about Logitech Harmony, but I started to get these after update to 2022.10. Looks like it (probably) has something to do with History stats?

EDIT: Copied a wrong error message here accidentally. Removed and posted the correct one(s) There are actually 2 similar messages, only difference is, that the error seems to be generated in different line of the python script

If you turn off xmpp support on the hub, it should avoid using the xml library and the problem should go away.

We previously advised to enable xmpp support since we were worried websocket support might go away, but since logi has discoed harmony, I don’t think thats a concern anymore.
