Cannot add repository - getting error "...is not a valid add-on repository" #149

When trying to add the repository to Home Assistant, I get an error: "https://github.com/HomeAssistant-Mods/home-assistant-miele is not a valid add-on repository". I have installed other repositories without problems, and also installed several custom / community add-ons from different repositories. Any thoughts?

OK, feeling stupid now (as it is also written in the install instructions), but I was not aware that I needed to install it over the HACS Integration Panel. After installing it there I still struggled a bit as with this part of the installation guide:

"The Home Assistant Web UI will show you a UI to configure the Miele platform. Follow the instructions to log into the Miele Cloud Service. This will communicate back an authentication token that will be cached to communicate with the Cloud Service."

as I didn't see any obvious place in the UI where something showed up and trying adding it via the integration panel of HA it now showed up in the integration search, but only told me that it requires manual user configuration (which I did already in the YAML with the Miele developer ID and secret). However in my entity list, now a miele.configuration entitiy showed up that then when I looked at it details allowed me to connect to my Miele@home account and after that all Miele available devices and according sensors showed up and it works like a charm. Don't know whether this is the "normal" way of configuration or I missed something in the UI to do it otherwise, so I thought to write it down here (as when googling before, I found a few discussions about other users failing to add the repository, but never found an solution - thus it might help others running into the same issue).

Anyway, thanks to everyone in the developing of this integration!! :-D
