Custom Component not showing after manual install #246

Closed harvybob closed 2 years ago

harvybob commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug I have a VM image running HASSIO + HA, I have copied in the folder following the manual install steps, and restarted both HA and HASSIO, but the integration still is not available.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Copied custom_components/hildebrandglow_dcc/ to config/custom_components (note custom_components did not exist so needed to be created - I have no other custom_components)

Restarted HA/HASSIO

Select settings select Integrations select devices and services add integrations search string "hil", "solar", "DCC" etc bring back no results

Expected behaviour When searching, expect to see result for Hildebrand and install integration

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. Files in the folder as per readme manual install steps image image

Version What version of the integration and what version of Home Assistant are you running? Home Assistant 2022.8.6 Supervisor 2022.08.3 Operating System 8.5 Frontend 20220802.0 - latest Integration: v0.6.0 (downloaded fresh on 23rd Aug

Debug log Enable debug logging by following the instructions here

Additional context I appreciate this may be an issue with the method /steps I have taken to install the custom component, so any guidance on what I may have done wrong is appreciated (and hopefully update the readme so others don't make the same mistakes?)

I'm getting the same result when installing via HACS.

I'm getting the same result when installing via HACS.

I was using the Mac Home Assistant App. Once I switched to using a browser the integration appeared. Potentially an issue with the native app rather than the integration. Hope this helps.

Just setup a new system with fresh installs Home Assistant 2022.8.7 Supervisor 2022.08.5 Operating System 8.5 Frontend 20220802.0 - latest Had same issue in web app that could not find the integration after installing via HACS. However, after reading comments here I installed the iOS app and was able to add the integration there. Also noticed that the HACS install puts the files in the folder "hildebrandglow_dcc" within custom_components, I don't know if that matters.

Same here, installed via HACS. It just doesn't show up in the integrations, unlike several others I've installed with the same method.

Edit: Using the Android app, it shows up and I was able to add it. Just seems to be the web interface that's incompatible.

Hey all, Once you add a custom integration to your custom_components folder, you have to clear your browser cache for the integration to appear in the list. A lot of people seem to run into this so I will definitely add it to the readme.

Duplicate of #34

Just to update, I created a hildebrandglow_dcc folder in custom components that that has worked for me. So just to clarify, this is the tree:

I think the readme asks to put the files straight into the custom_components folder rather then move the hildebrandglow_dcc folder into it!
