Installation instructions no longer valid? #135

I tried to install HomeKit-panel-card, but it doesn't work. It appears the ui-lovelace.yaml file is no longer used in Home Assistant, and so the install instructions doesn't work.

How do I get the card installed in the latest version of Home Assistant?

If you are using HACS, you don't need to to use the ui-lovelace.yaml or add the resource manually as HACS takes care of this for you.

However, I had some problems getting it to work as well. My issue was that the first example in the instructions (the global settings) has enableColumns as true. If you leave this as true and follow the rest of the instructions, nothing showed up for me but there were also no error messages. As soon as I removed this line (or set it false), everything started working.

Further down in the instructions, enableColumns is explained and the required configuration changes drastically which is why the earlier examples won't work.

I hope this helps you as it caused me some time to figure this out.
