Start developing a component

Development
1

I want to develop a generic interface to comunicate my raspberry pi to multiple arduinos via nrf24l01+.To gather data and send commands.
So i guess i need to create a component, but the demo does not work.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

Might sound offtopic, but are you aware of https://www.mysensors.org ?

Did you add hello_state to your config?
Or did you modified the provided code and maybe added some configuration parameter?

components/hellostate.py <-> <config_dir>/custom_components/hello_state.py

Maybe it should be in the custom_components folder for dev, and not in the components folder?

Already got my own protocol, thanks.:wink:

Downloaded via pip within eclipse project, added hellostate.py as seen on the 1st post.

configuration.yaml a meaningful part?-->

# View all events in a logbook
logbook:

# Enables a map showing the location of tracked devices
map:

# Track the sun
sun:

#test module by garfius
hello_state:

# Weather prediction

Start by following the development guide.

If you really want to develop on the production version, you need to use the custom_components folder.

The folder does not seem to exist. Otherwise, later i will try the link you posted.

Thanks

Yes, the folder need to be created.
And it need to be in your config folder, not in your installation folder.
