Unable to configure integration through UI #34

Closed alexkau closed 1 year ago

Describe the bug

I tried migrating from the built-in integration to this one. After installing it through HACS and restarting, it shows up in the list of available integrations, but when I try to add it, it tells me "This device cannot be added from the UI. You can add this device by adding it to your 'configuration.yaml'. See the documentation for more information."

I tried commenting out the existing configuration in configuration.yaml, to no effect.

If it's saying it cannot be added from the UI, it sounds like something went wrong with the installation and HACS didn't install the component after all. When you're searching for the component in the UI, does it show up with a little box icon next to it, like this? If not, the custom component is not installed.

If you've got the built-in component set up, when you install the custom one it should automatically import your YAML configuration without you having to add it from the UI. Whenever your GEM next connects to your Home Assistant, it will start receiving data again.

Note that after you add this repository in HACS, you still have to click the "Download" button to actually download the component and install it.

Got it in one! I'm not as familiar with the Home Assistant / HASS UI as I wish I was, so even after you told me what to do, it took me a couple minutes to find the download button hiding at the far bottom right of the screen. (－‸ლ)

Everything's working now. Thank you for all the work you've put in on this update!
