I’m working on a component that’s not quite ready for prime time (keeping it in custom_components for now) but I want to implement Config Flow for it.
The documentation states the component has to be added to config_entries.FLOWS which is part of HA.
Is there a way to make this work?
I’m also interested in getting the answer.

I’m also in process of developing custom component - it will be kept in custom_components folder. I will try to develop it with minimal scope.
Found answer by myself. So in short: CUSTOM_COMPONENTS don’t use config_flow (as for HA 0.93.2).
Usage of config flow is defined in file config_entries.py (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/config_entries.py) and is hard coded for now for closed list of compoenents. So unless custom_component doesn’t overwrite one of those components - it will not be able (AFAIK) to run config_flow.py
I am interested to know what the future plans for config_flow with custom components is.
The docs say:
This option is currently only available for built-in components.
which makes it sound like there are plans to enable it for custom components. Does anyone have any details on this?
PR was merged to allow this, latest version works.
Has anyone managed to make this work by following the documentation? I am struggling at the moment, and would love to see an example of a very simple config flow
There is a lyric component that is waiting to be merged that I’ve been using as a custom component with success.
Thanks kylerw, I think I am up and running now.
