Hey @RobinE, this repository is an integration, not an add-on. You will need to install HACS or manually copy the files as described in the readme in order to use it,

It was my sloppiness calling this an add-on. Sorry, I realised it was an integration. What led me astray was that the default installation of HA on an RPi4 shows a list of "Home Assistant Community Add-ons" in the "ADD-ON-STORE" under the "Add-ons" selection in the "Settings" panel. I guess this means a list of Add-ons available from the "Home Assistant Community" (including HACS itself) rather than integrations. That section heading is likely to lead many another Newbie astray. (It's not your problem) As you explained, one needs to install the HACS add-on as such before one can install this integration (and others). The Installation section of the README.md might make "requires the HACS Add-on" more clear. After installing the HACS Add-on, everything went as it should. Your explanation solved my problem. Many thanks for responding quickly.
