Hi,
I’m brand new to HA so please bear with me. I have searched this and other resources but can’t find an answer that works for me.
I’m running HA OS 2023.4.4 on a RPi 4b.
My main initial interest in HA is to gather stats and control of my solar and battery installation and my Octopus Energy smart meter.
Some of the integrations I would like to try are available in HACS.
I am following the instructions here
It all seems to go OK but I don’t see HACS in my Add Integration.
The only thing I’m not sure about is the prerequisite to have have the my integration enabled.
The page for the my Integration says it is enabled by default but I don’t se it in my configuration.yaml file
# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:
# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
# Text to speech
tts:
- platform: google_translate
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
Does the default_config line load the my integration by default or do I need to add a line my:
to load it?
How can I tell if it is loaded or not? I don’t see it in my Integrations?
I think I can assume that it is loaded and so despite meeting all the prerequisites, following the instructions to the letter and restarting HA and rebooting the Pi completely I don’t see it in add integration.
I must be missing something but damned if I can see it.
Any advice appreciated.
That’s the problem. When I look in add integrations I don’t see HACS despite having followed the instructions.
The configuration.yaml question was to do with the my integration which is a prerequisite for HACS.
Am I correct in thinking that the command line
wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -
Simply downloads an index.html file which runs when I restart HA and deletes itself?
I ran it and got a message saying it had downloaded the index file. When I restarted HA the file has disappeared but I still don’t see HACS in add integrations.
Thanks for that @Bimbo009 . I see a difference when I run the
wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -
command the only result I get is the download of an index.html file.
In the video it unpacks and installs HACS.
I’ve checked the command and it’s exactly the same as in the video.
Yes but HACS doesn’t appear. I don’t think the bash script is running properly because I don’t get the same result as in the video.
The only thing the wget command does is download an index.html file on my system.
In the video it goes to git and downloads and installs HACS.
OK, I understand I need a gihub account to install it. I have an account but where do I enter my account details/login to github before running the install?
Do I need to install github on HA first?
FYI: I have installed the github integration, subscribed it to the HACS repo but still get the same results.
Tried again this morning.
First I followed the hacs git hub page in my github account.
This worked.
Is that a normal requirement?
If so, should it be in the download instructions?
