ISSUE: Manual Install help?

[arpitgupta]

Not sure if this is the best way to get support. If there are other channels please let me know. I dont have hacs and was wondering for manual install if i just custom_components/keymaster dir to ha_conf_dir/custom_compoents?

I think that is how i should set it up, but am not 100% sure. Dont run a lot of custom integrations.

Yes

If there are other channels please let me know.

There's an extensive thread on the HA forums.

Thanks, i should have paid more attention to the info. I jumped straight to install.

Would it be ok to submit a PR to add appropriate info to the install section of the wiki?

[arpitgupta]

I cant quite figure out how to send a PR to wiki repo. This was the change I was thinking

 This integration can be added to your installation manually, but the *supported* method requires you to use The [Home Assistant Community Store](https
://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-component-hacs/121727).  If you dont't already have HACS, it is [simple to install](https://hacs.xyz/docs/insta
llation/prerequisites).

+For manual install you need to copy directory `custom_components` or `custom_components/keymaster` to your Home Assistant config dir so that
 the following path `HOME_ASSISTANT_CONF_DIR/custom_components/keymaster` exits. Now restart Home Assistant so that integration is loaded.
+
 Open HACS and select the Integrations tab.  Click the + icon at the bottom right and search for `keymaster`.  You will then get a message that the int
egration requires Home Assistant to be restarted.  Please do so.

 You need to create an integration for each lock you want to control.  Select Configuration | Integrations.  Click the + icon at the bottom right and s
earch for **keymaster** and select it.

HACS is the perfered method as it 1) easier to use and 2) makes updating simple with handy notifications when updates are published.

Agree 100% on that. I was under the wrong impression that hacs would only work with supervisor install. I now see it can be setup for docker container as well. BTW the simple to install link in the readme leads to a 404. New link is: https://hacs.xyz/docs/setup/prerequisites

Thank you! I'll update the link.
