Tuya Integration and HACS Error

Third party integrations
1

Hi everyone! I have two issues I’m hoping to get help with.

First, I purchased the below energy monitors to monitor the energy used by my washer and dryer. At times, the data from the energy monitors does not seem to flow over to Home Assistant. I have to open the Tuya app and “wake up” the devices before I see energy readings. I did some research and another user stated that the HACS version of the Tuya integration solves this problem. Is this true or should I pursue another approach?

If HACS is recommended, I’m actually having a problem with HACS starting. I get the below error message and can’t seem to figure out the issue. I’ve removed it completely and reinstalled with no change. Any assistance with the error would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello Jonathan Addair,

HACS is a custom integration that makes it easier to load stuff from GitHub. Any of those can be searched independently and installed without installing HACS. There is no such thing as a HACS Integration.

If you are looking to fix HACS, I’m thinking you still have the version 1.X loaded.

Search in the forum here or HACS to update it to the 2.X version. If you think you are on the 2.x version already, you may want to look at un-install and re-install of HACS.
