I am using venv and those steps does not work it does nothing
I am guessing something got lost in translation this is what I mean by step by step
I built this page to help with python 3.9 install on a raspberry pi this is what I mean by step by step
or my Tutorial for installing Home Assistant in the first place
Home Assistant with File Sharing
the garbage that is on sampsyo canât even get past the first step
pi@raspberry:~ $ cd ~/.homeassistant
-bash: cd: /home/pi/.homeassistant: No such file or directory

If you got any order laptop or PC, try WinSCP software for create and copy the file to custom_components folder.
it is already there I manually copied it into that folder
canât understand why people have to be so cryptic on how they got something to work
I am not a programmer yet I am happy to write down the steps from the start to the finish to help others
these instructions that say do this but does not tell you how you get to the point to do that step in the first place is straight up useless
Easy up Trenton. Theres 100âodd posts above of people doing exactly that - helping. Calling the guy who wrote this integration garbage is outta line. Check yourself mate, its not in the spirit of the community.
Whatever way you cut it, dabbling with this sort of stuff will eventually require you to know some basic linux skills. How to ssh. How to change around directories. How to copy files. How to run a python script from the command line. Theres a gazillion tutorials around for this sort of stuff. If you dont want to do that then maybe hass isnt right for you right now.
Its like joining a mechanics club and getting frustrated when people dont tell you how to use a screwdriver, there is a level of assumed knowledge.
We will help, but stay polite dude.

In terms of your problem, maybe rephase it by saying âim stuck on step 1 please helpâ to which i would reply âtry this command- configuration.yaml is a standard file across hass installations, so the find command will help you locate its pathâ
So in my case, if i didnt know where my hass directory was, i do now⌠its /_LOCALDATA/CONTAINERS/hass/ so then type âcd /_LOCALDATA/CONTAINERS/hass/ â and there is your step1.
See how you go.
I know where my configuration file is, I know how to SSH into and I know how to reach the custom folder, the GARBAGE instructions the sampsy guy wrote is worthless, the vanguyen guy gives the impression he found the missing steps and decides to be cryptic for whatever reason and you come on here whining about my post because you are offended and decide to be condescending just to agitate the thread awesome
Wow. Good luck with that buddy. I gave you your step1, but if you cant see that, Im out. Maybe take a walk and cool down hey?

The 1st step is just for clone or copy smartthinq folder from github to your HA, if that not work, just ignore that Sh*t, then using a laptop, download the file, using winSCP or any other software with fpt client for copy and paste the smartthinq folder to your HA custom_components folder
That all, goodluck.
as I stated before I have those in my custom folder if you donât want to help sharing what steps you did to get the thing to work then fine donât help!
With your attitude Iâm surprised anyone is offering help

well I tried the nice method earlier in the thread and got no response so there is that
For the next poor bastard that finds issues just to get the WideQ to work here is the steps for that.
SSH into your home assistant and copy the stuff below and paste if you are using putty or another client that allows paste, below is for the virtualenv type install no idea if it will work on other platforms
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant
python3 -m venv .
cd ~/.homeassistant
cd custom_components
cd wideq
python3 example.py -c US -l en-US
After you run this it will return a Link to copy and paste that into your browser to log into your LG account you will need your user name and password along with country code that you used to create the account, leave the SSH as it is for it is waiting for the refreshed token after you log in, it is the complete address in the browser is what you want to copy back and paste in your SSH client then hit enter
I finally figured out the steps to at least get this far hope this helps I am still trying to muck my own way through this I will keep posting up the steps involved as I discover them
As any example, your instruction are somewhat useless for me. Do you see the problem here?
You appear to use venv, while others will not. I for example use Home Assistant Core (docker container).
These forums are full of smart (and friendly) people. But they can also be busy with their own lives and donât check the forums all the time. Be polite, be patient, and you will enjoy your time in the community.

And I State that it is for venv platform in the beginning , vunguyen indicated the he was using venv is why I asked for step by step, and instead I get a cryptic response, as you can see with missing steps stuff donât work well thus useless, no worries I have two AC units to figure out how to install , right now I am still trying to add them to home assistant as entities so I can build cards, I know better than to ask here because I wonât get a good answer from anyone here. and yes you are correct there is a lot of friendly and smart people on this forum that has helped a lot on some off the wall stuff, however in this thread not so much the ones here rather play cryptic games I understand that life happens I waited weeks for answers on questions and some times takes a while to give answers in what I can help with that is not the issue.
All my fail is not good at English to describe clearly for you 
Well I figured that something may gotten lost in translation, so I even linked to some tutorials for an example of what I was asking for but that didnât help either
Dear all,
I was wondering if the following github project (https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq) was already functional with the API v2. Due to a lightning strike in our house, the ACâs had to be replaced. The new ACâs support LG smartthinq. I already tried to implement the ACâs in my HA a month or two ago, but they could not have been found.
Many thanks for all the support.
Kind regards,
Robin
Nope still not working pretty sure this intergation has been abandoned if I had to rebuy a system I would look fo one that is more home assistant friendly
Dear Vunguyen7819,
I was wondering if the wideq script has to run inside HA?
As I was looking through the instalation steps, I thought it was only used to generate the refresh token.
I saw in the comments that you were able to install it, so could you please inform me how you were using wideq?
I am running HASSIO in a docker container.
Many thanks for the information and support.
Kind regards,
Robin
