this repo vs official integration #36

Closed urielz closed 2 years ago

urielz commented 2 years ago

My understanding is that this add-on was recently merged into Home Assistant Core. Any advice on how to migrate to the official integration? I've been using this repo via HACS for a while. I don't know whether I would loose data if I delete this and install the official integration... ? Thanks for any help!

Oooh, I didn't know there was now an official Airthings cloud integration. I see it even uses API keys instead of account passwords; nice!

I just completely removed my airthings config and this custom component from HACS. After restarting and setting up the official integration, I was pleased to see that the history remained intact for the entities that had the same entity ID. For the rest, I was able to change the entity ID to what the old integration used and it worked like a charm. ;)

It seems this repository hasn't been touched since the new one was released, so it may not be maintained anymore. 🤷

Nice. Thanks for reporting your experience! I guess I'll do the switch as well.
