Read reply 3 in this thread that tells us that it would be impossible for the HA Addon Store to just generate a Docker Compose entry and HA configs for addons because they are “not just docker containers”.
Starting HA in Docker is trivial and also well documented. As long as you have a working Docker installation it is literally one line and that line is provided in the HA documentation. It does not require any knowledge of HA or Docker to do so. It surely does not imply the sudden acquiring of arcane knowledge of how to start Node-RED or deConz in HA-compatible manner and how exactly to tell HA that you have started these things and how HA could then connect to them. A new user would not even know how to see if these thing and the connection is working or not. I have no idea what to expect from HA when Node-RED is fully integrated and working. Why should I, I just found about about its existence days ago?
- the instructions on the HA side are just to click the button in the Addon Store.
Even a simple hint that for most (?) addons you’d also need to add an integration or a config snipplet to your HA to have HA actually be able use them would go a long way. It is really, really hard as a user in the know to understand what new users have no clue of even not knowing.
I mean, I am a Linux and Python developer with over 20 years of experience. I can (technically) just read the HA, Supervisor and HA OS source code and figure out what it does. But I do not believe that is a great way of approaching new user experience.
