Hello guys, I have installed HACS and try to install frontend - select card and press install, I see that new folders with files has been putted into ‘custom_components’ folder.
Then I go to Lovalace and press add in Configure UI mode - here I don’t see any new cards.
How to solve it?
If the custom cards you have added do not have a visual editor (most don’t) you will have to use the manual card option (at the bottom of the card types list).
I have tried (more then 10) different cards (some from big brand such Alexa from Yandex) and no one has not appears
Give me a link to the repository of one of them.
None of those are frontend plugins that have Lovelace cards. They are integrations. Read their documentation for how to use them.
The repository link is in HACS, e.g.
ok, I see
but how about this
I see here weather-card-editor.js - it is not for edit in Lovelace?
About HACS downloaded modules - all description start from - Add the following to resources
mean that i need to put resources - I have a tab ‘resources’ in Lovalace Dashboard
What is the right path to custom_components - /local/custom_components or /config/custom_components or just - /custom_components ?
Another question - downloaded components by HACS comes with *.py files
**➜** **config** cd custom_components/weather
**➜** **weather** ls
__init__.py manifest.json strings.json **translations**
**➜** **weather**
how i can use it? I see here - init file?
None of the above if you are using HACS. You want
/hacsfiles/card-name/card-name.js
The weather card does have a visual editor. Have you tried refreshing the browser cache (Ctrl+F5)?
in resource tab - do I have to write all paths with *.js files or I can show a root directory for a group of folder (one component comes with four sub-folders, where each has own *.js files)
One for each individual resource, but you shouldn’t have to. HACS should do it for you.
Some components I have downloaded manually
Some component comes without JS files, look at this
➜ gismeteo ls
__init__.py const.py sensor.py
cache.py manifest.json weather.py```Yes, I see. But I have asked - if component (downloaded by HACS) comes without JS files then what file I have to write there?
If this was one of your manual downloads follow the instructions: GitHub - bramkragten/weather-card: Weather Card with animated icons for Home Assistant Lovelace
I’m having a hard time following you. First you say you downloaded them with HACS, then you say you did it manually, now you are saying HACs again.
Do yourself a favour. Just use HACS. It will download all the files required and enter the resource for you.
No, I mean that modules without JS downloaded by HACS, with JS I have downloaded part manually other by HACS.
In this question you have told me that I need to write - /hacsfiles/card-name/card-name.js - then I have checked downloaded modules and can’t find JS, that’s why I have asked - how to use python files (when folder comes without JS)
Py files are CUSTOM COMPONENTS not cards.
Py files don’t have lovelace resources but you need to restart Home Assistant after you install tham and sometimes add an integration or add configuration options to configuration.yaml. You need to follow the instructions in the repo from the Dev.
Js files are lovelace cards and you DO need to add resources and add the card/config in Lovelace.
You are conflating 2 totally different things.
