Home Assistant Supervisor Does not have Hubitat under Integrations

[Bboy486]

Might be a basic issue but I am not able to find Hubitat in HA Supervisor.

Have you gone through the setup instructions in the readme?

[Bboy486]

Yes. As mentioned the Hubitat integration does not show when looking under add-ons.

[jason0x43]

That's why I mentioned the readme -- the "Add-ons" button isn't part of the process. 🙂

This is an "integration" rather than an "add-on". Although they sound similar, they're actually very different things. To install integrations, you'll need to either install the integration manually in your HA config folder, or you'll need to install HACS and use that to install the integration. I recommend HACS as that gives you easy access to a wide range of integrations.

I see. So I'm running HA supervisor. I think (new to HA) where I am not able to follow is that I am running HA supervisor in docker on a rpi4. My folder is called hass and within the folder I have a folder called blueprints, deps, and tts. The yaml files are in the root.

Do I create a custom_components folder and copy the Hubitat and init.py folder in there? Do I need to restart the service after?

[jason0x43]

Yup, if you want to manually install the integration, that's the general process -- have a custom_components folder in your HA config folder, and copy this repo's custom_components/hubitat into your custom_components (you don't need the custom_components/init.py), then restart HA. At that point you should be able to add this integration from the Devices & Services page.

That is what I did but the integration does not show in HA. Configuration > Integration > +Add Integration (hubitat is not showing up)

[jason0x43]

Hmm…ok. On thing that has helped some people is, oddly enough, to clear your browser cache (or at least the cache related to your HA server), refresh the page, and check again. Apparently the list of integrations doesn’t always update itself properly in the browser.

[Bboy486]

I tried that. Still nothing.

[jason0x43]

Do you see any relevant looking messages in the HA log (config/home-assistant.log)? You should at least see one like:

2022-03-14 09:39:10 WARNING (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration hubitat which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant

[Bboy486]

I do not

[jason0x43]

Hmmm...that implies that HA isn't seeing your custom_components directory for some reason. Your config folder structure should look something like:

config/
  blueprints/
  deps/
  tts/
  custom_components/
    hubitat/
      __init__.py
      alarm_control_panel.py
      binary_sensor.py
      ...
  home-assistant.log
  home-assistant_v2.db
  ...

[Bboy486]

Do I need to make a call into the config.yaml file to the folder?

[jason0x43]

You don't need to add anything to configuration.yaml, just add the component to the custom_components/ directory and restart HA, and HA should make the integration available. The fact that your log isn't showing a message about finding a custom integration makes it look like HA isn't seeing your custom_components/ folder.

Presumably your hassio folder looks like?

hassio/
  deps/
  blueprints/
  home-assistant.log
  custom_components/
  ...

[Bboy486]

I posted the folder structure in the previous comment and it matches your structure.

[jason0x43]

You posted just the custom_components folder. Given that HA doesn't seem to be seeing your custom_components folder (you said the log didn't show a message about finding the integration), I was wondering if the custom_components folder was in the proper location.

I was able to fix this by starting from scratch. Thank you for the troubleshooting
