Integrations installed under `custom_components` not show up in the "+" list

Installation
1

When I tried to install integrations like folloing by manually placing them under custom_components, they don’t appear in the “+” list under Configuration > Integration.

I have set up my Home Assistance with different ways (Home Assitant OS image for RPi4,
supervised-installe on both RPi4 and PC), but they all faced the same issue.

Above two custom integrations both recommends using HACS, but it resulted in the same issue even when HACS is used (I got to install the repos in HACS, but they don’t appear in the Configuration > Integrations > “+” list).

Please point me to the right direction.

Both custom_components need to be configured via yaml.
There’s nothing about Integration GUI in the docs.

Thank you, VDRainer for the reply.

However, videos like this show that one would just see the integration (this case, SonoffLAN) in the GUI.

Would you point me to where I can find about the necessary yaml configuration for those custome_components?

You’ve actually linked to it in your own post…
For the Sonoff component details are here https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN#config-examples

Your videolink shows the installation from HACS Integrations, and if you watch it further, DrZzs shows how to configure it.

Your video shows the configuration of the component from 5:10 on.

Install the component via HACS, configure it in your yaml and restart HA.

Thank you everybody, for going throught the video and pointing out the configuration to be peformed for me.
I got to configure Govee temperature sensor manually by adding configuration in configuration.yaml.

However, perhaps it was my fault of choosing the above YouTube video, but what I was expecting was the GUI installation process, like video below where the custom_component (installed by HACS) actually shows up in the Configuration > Integrations.

In the video he installed “Unifi Protect Integration” using HACS, and after reboot, he actually shows the component shows up in Configuration > Integration > “+” list, and he went onto configure on its GUI.
I tried exactly the same, but even after reboot and even after clearing cache, I still don’t get to see the “Unifi Protect Integration” in the “+” list.

I have the same problem with the ShellyForHASS integration installed via HACS. After installation I can not find it in the Integrations tab.
I cleared my cache, i restarted HA a few times, reboot the host,…nothing!
Can you please help me with an idea?

Hey guys! Any updates on this issue? I have the same problem: I’ve installed few HACS manually (by copying them to the custom_components folder) and I can’t see them via the HACS UI even though the components itself work fine.

HACS: 1.32.1
Home Assistant 2023.7.1
