Custom Component: HACS

finity · December 14, 2019, 11:40pm

There seems to be some confusing conversation in this thread…

HACS is not for “add-ons”. Add-ons are a Hassio thing and are found in the Hassio->Add-On Store tab.

HACS allows you to install “integrations” (custom HA integrations), “plugins” (custom Lovelace cards etc), “themes” & “Appdaemon apps”. All of those things can be used in any version of HA that you are running. It doesn’t have to be hassio like is required for Add-ons.

Hi there, is there anywhere i can put bugs here?
The link in the homepage of HACS is a broken link and does not work anymore.
After months of nice usage of HACS today i upgraded my hassio from 3.5 to 3.6 and HACS cannot install anymore. the directories are still in the correct places and integrations cannot find HACS anymore.
Where can i report this and has anyone something to try for me to fix this issue?
i don’t think i am the only one with this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Sander

The first post tells you how to report bugs (to github)

I haven’t thought of updating HACS before now. I’m on 0.15.2. I have to update to 0.16.3 Which I can’t see on the dropdown, oldest is 0.17.3.

Can I download the zip file and just put everything in the HACS folder?

ludeeus · December 15, 2019, 8:44pm

yes https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/tag/0.16.3

Can you please expain, how and why is this blacklisted.

Thanks!

DavidFW1960 · December 16, 2019, 9:25am

It’s blacklisted because it’s depreciated

ludeeus · December 16, 2019, 9:25am

How: Author wanted it
Why: it has been replaced with Custom Header

Memphisdj · December 16, 2019, 9:51am

Thank you guys for the quick reply. Unfortunately I hadn’t noticed that there is a new thing coming out.

Reinstalled Hassio because I couldn’t update HACS. Followed every step on HACS install, go to add integration and it shows this when I search for it. Pressing it just puts me back to the list. HACS1

francisp · December 16, 2019, 12:11pm

Did you restart HA before going to this list ?

Perern · December 16, 2019, 1:29pm

Multiple times, both HA and the pi.
Reinstalling again right now, will do HACS first thing.

Try setting your language by clicking your name/icon at the bottom of the HA sidebar.
Then try the integrations again.

Perern · December 16, 2019, 3:56pm

I got it working. Used Firefox and deleted all data, took a few minutes but it works now

ludeeus · December 17, 2019, 10:24am

I have not found the cause, so most likely something on the GitHub side changed (HACS is using some experimental API’s)

Should be covered in the next HACS release frontend/src/markdown/markdown.ts at 5f896df07ce90a2418d3bff2f23bd9a68f8bfe9c · hacs/frontend · GitHub

I’m converting all my custom-components to hacs compatible github repos.
I have two questions, how does versioning works, does it scan github tag versions?
I can’t get it to display version, only commit#, is this for hacs default only?

And I’m using below template in my info.md files, in one component/integration this works, but for the others it doesn’t parse them but just display the source, I see no typo’s either.

Running version: 0.18.2

{% if not installed %}

### Installation

* Copy directory  `custom_components/p2000`  to your  `<config dir>/custom_components`  directory.
* Configure with config below.
* Restart Home-Assistant.

{% endif %}

ludeeus · December 17, 2019, 5:05pm

It looks for releases, not tags

rdnzl · December 17, 2019, 6:18pm

Release/version is fixed, nice!
But I still have the issue with some repos displaying raw code from info.md instead of parsing.

This one is working:

When there are templates it can not evaluate it fails, and revert to show the raw file.

on your second repo you have "{{ states.sensor.p2000.state}}" which messes with the template loading.

Hi Per, I have the exact same issue. After following the steps, I cannot find the HACS integration. Of course, as the manual stated, I restarted HA and deleted the cache. Still, I get an empty option just like you. As you did, I also installed Firefox to have a try with another browser (I use Safari), unfortunately with the same result. Do you, or anyone else reading, have an idea on the source of the error?

I can see the plugin loading in the log files, so I am relatively sure the installation part went okay. As a test, I went back to hacs v0.18.2 without any success. I am on the latest HA with docker on Synology.
