A few years ago I wrote my own custom component for communication with an extension board. It worked flawlessly.
However, I must admit that I haven’t updated HA for a long long time. Yesterday I lost the memory card in the Raspberry pi. I don’t know what happened, I can’t read it anymore Anyway…
I bought a new SD card, I downloaded the latest version of HA and installed it on Raspberry. Before logging in, I restored some old (one year old) backup. And then I updated HA to the latest version.
The main problem is that now the system cannot see my custom component.
I get the following error:
“Platform error binary_sensor.xxx - Integration ‘xxx’ not found.
Platform error switch.xxx- Integration ‘xxx’ not found.”
I’ve placed my component in: config/custom_components/xxx
Has anything changed over the course of the year about custom components? Should they be placed elsewhere now?
