Installing home-assistant repo

Really sorry if this has been covered before, but i’ve been trying the help documents and searching the forum for the last hour and haven’t got anywhere. I’m trying to install some add-ons onto a fresh 2.12 install of Homeassistant on a RPi 3+ and i can’t get the home-assistant repo to install. I’ve put the URL i’m using and a screenshot of the log output of the system but can’t get further than that. The installation is from a new image using Balena and is only about 3 hours old at this point.

Repo_URL : https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Addons are for Hass.io, not Homeassistant.
Hass.io has 2 “flavors” that are both Docker-based Homeassistant installs with an added management container.

What instructions did you follow to install Homeassistant?

Hi bosborne,

Looks like i misunderstood the way that addons functioned. I thought they were installed from the WebUI but i now realise that you just need to add an entry in the configuration.yaml.

I’m gradually making progress now.

Cheers

Hass.io addons are added through the WebUI from the Hass.io menu.
I think components can be added either through configuration-> Integrations (preferred) or the configuration.yaml.

No you don’t.

Maybe i should have been clearer what i wanted to do. I was trying to add the integration for the Denon AVR receivers, the Global Cache integration and the Linksys router presence detection and those were all listed in the integration section of the website. I assumed that these could be installed as addons when the correct Repo was added in a similar manner to Kodi, but i’ve now found that these addons are installed by adding an instance of them in the configuration.yaml.

Things seem to be moving forward now, but if i’ve missed something obvious then any information that you can give me would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Edit : The installation was from Hass.io image that was flashed to an microSD card and installed on a RPi. Apologies for not answering that question earlier. I’m still getting up to speed with the terminology.

OK, to help, all of the integrations listed here https://www.home-assistant.io/components/ are available as part of home assistant as soon as you install it, subject to you adding them in configuration.yaml or via the integrations page.

They have until recently been called “components” but are now renamed “integrations” - you will see the old term used a lot. In fact even the URL I pointed to above ends in /components/
