Add-on HomeAssistant Core and question about HA OS

Hello,

I read that on the HomeAssistant website the add-ons are not available for the core version.
I already had a HomeAssistant core installation in the past but with add-ons the problem is that I can’t find how I did it in the past. (maybe a project github)
I’ve also tried to run HA on my laptop with HA OS but the problem is that it doesn’t support wifi, as my laptop doesn’t have wifi, is there a solution?

A bunch of add-ones are also available as docker installs.

i know but this one isn’t : GitHub - max5962/prixCarburant-home-assistant: Récupération des prix des stations en France

Hi, do you really want to put a server, home automation control on WiFi?!
Of course it’s doable but… and if you really want to go that path, you could add a WiFi receiver to your laptop.

Regarding that add-on integration, the easiest way is to use that but it also can be done with the scrape integration. That’s what I’m doing for gas prices on my Core install.
In the end, that’s what this add-on integration also does.

i don’t have the choice my computer has no ethernet port :confused:
what is scrape? Does it work in France?

I’ve been told that not all modules are recognized. I think this is the case for my wifi card.
When i use the command : network info
Interface is empty and host_internet / supervisor_internet are false.
Do you have any idea to solve my issue?

Guys, words matter.
This is an integration (some python code that can be installed on any type of HA install), not an add-on (a docker container that can only run on HAOS and Supervised HA installs).

I don’t understand.
Do you think I can use this without the addons on HA core?

Yes, exactly.

wait, wait…
you said that your laptop doesn’t have wifi. Now you say that your laptop doesn’t have ethernet also ? Then how do you expect to run HA on it, if laptop doesn’t have ANY connection to the outside world? (just curious…)

Modern laptops typical have no ethernet port as standard, but the USB ethernet cards are nearly all recognised without additional drivers needed.
PXE booting on usb ethernet cards can be tricky though, but I cannot think of a situation where this would be used in relation to HA.

When i run HA OS my wifi card isn’t recognized but when im on another os like ubuntu my wifi work great

Aha… well, in any case having HA connected via wifi isn’t exactly smart thing to do. Expect to have dropouts of connection. I’d buy usb to lan card…
