Solved - HACS Not Showing Integrations or Menu

Third party integrations
1

I downloaded HACS but I don’t think I set it up correctly.

Current configuration:

HA1
HA11918×834 49.9 KB

When I click on HACS on the sidebar:

HA2
HA21913×828 33 KB

When I click on HACS under “Repository Name”:

HA3
HA31919×827 63.7 KB

I believe that when I click on HACS on the sidebar I should instead be seeing this:

entry-ef499edeabda2a199fd0450e5072b061
entry-ef499edeabda2a199fd0450e5072b0611788×743 40.8 KB

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here? Thanks in advance

Your HACS is installed correct. But you checked ‘experimental features’, so what you get is the upper screens and not the lower image.

Thank you for the suggestion. I unchecked “experimental features”, restarted HA, and unfortunately nothing else changed, still seeing the same screens. Any other ideas?

note

After you change the setting for experimental features, you must fully reload HACS. Restart Home Assistant and then, once Home Assistant has fully started, clear your browser cache.

Experimental features button for HACS give you:

  • A much better search function
  • You no longer have to read pages & pages of offering git repo ‘ads’ to find something
  • Better visibility on the offerings you have selected and what is available
  • Access to the custom template offerings not available in the old interface
  • An easy reload button for the offerings if you think something has gone wonky with them
  • The updates show up in HA with all the OS and addon updates so you know there is a thing to do with your offering

In addition, when the V2 version is released, you will be able to help your navigationally challenged friends figure out what happened.

I have this problem but my HACS integration settings doesn’t have that option, it only has “Enable AppDaemon apps discovery & tracking”. Is the menu not available in the newest versions?

I’m having the same issue as kevpatts. Experimental Features is not showing up to uncheck nor am I able to see HACS cards. Has anyone been able to fix this? I have the latest HACS version installed, cards just randomly disappeared.

If you have updated HACS, or recently installed it for the first time, those options no longer exist because you’re now using HACS 2.0.

Hi, Extreme noobie here, so please excuse my gaffs. I am trying to install an air purifier card in my HA setup. It is very confusing to me as to how to install what looks like javascript code into my HA instance. I notice there was a way to let my HACS frontend do the cryptic work for me. Trouble is…ther are no such options such as ‘frontend, explore repos, etc’ available in my HacS sidebar. it appears that my Google search is giving me old info, as I am already using HACS 2.05, so the uncheck experimental option is not available. I have rebooted my Ha green device, but it still doesn’t show the above window. Should I just give up and abandon this whole mess, or is there a clear way forward here? Thanks for any info…HA is very configurable, but only if one is an experienced programmer, at least that is my take.

It is better if you start a new thread, this one is not related to the same issue and it is already solved. In that way, more people can help you. Just open a new thread with some screenshots of your issue (it is normal that you don’t have the same as above in the screenshots because those are from an old HACS version).
