I’m super new to Home Assistant. I have it installed inside of a docker container and would like to add a couple of integrations from github. I tried to install HACs but apparently there is a configuration conflict that’s being worked on as of yesterday. I do have a custom_components folder within my config folder. I downloaded the files from the repositories into the custom_components folder, restarted HA and searched for the integrations but they don’t seem to show up. One post mentioned a yaml entry for the custom_components folder but I can’t seem to find what that entry needs to be.
Any help with what next steps whould be would be greatly appreciated.
I run HA in docker (HA Container) and I’ve never needed to configure anything (neither in HA nor in docker) for custom components to work.
when you say they don’t show up where are you looking?
Some custom integrations aren’t going to show up in the list of integrations in HA since the only ones that show up there are those that can be configured via the UI. Others you need to configure only via yaml. the repo for the custom integration will (should) tell you which method is needed.
@finity thanks for the info. I also figured out that I was missing a step. After downloading the repository one of the folders within the download needed to be moved into the custom_components folder. Then after restarting HA everything worked as advertised.
