Installing integration with pull request

Configuration
1

Hi All.

I already installed this integration but I wanted to install it with this pull request - the author of the PR has been following up but the PR has not yet been included in the main release. Can someone please tell me how to install the integration with this PR?

Thank you

You are contributing to a custom integration.
This is fantastic, but unfortunately has nothing to do with HA.

I suggest finding a way to communicate with the repo author(s).

hi. thanks for the response.

To clarify - I am neither the integration author nor the PR author - I just want to install the integration in home assistant, but with the PR I referred to. Is there a way to do that or do I need to wait for the integration author to implement the PR?

There’s no way of which I’m aware to do that from Home Assistant or HACS. You’d have to uninstall it using HACS, then reinstall it using the manual method, but you need to download the codebase with the PR. You have to do that using Git from the command line or GitHub desktop (either will require you to have a GitHub account I think). After that you’ll have to keep track of when the change is merged and updated in HACS. Then do a manual uninstall and install it again via HACS.

Basically, it’s technically possible but not for the feint of heart.

thanks for this - to clarify, will the sensor/entity names remain the same after this or not?

Unlikely. You will probably find them changed from entity to entity_2
