custom updater

[h4nc]

Would be nice to see this integrated in custom updater.

https://github.com/custom-components/custom_updater Link for reference

Actually not that hard, you only have to add a custom_components.json and put some links to the files on GitHub inside.

As an example: https://github.com/nstrelow/ha_philips_2016/blob/master/custom_components.json

Nice, so do you add this to your next version? And also update the docs?

[nstrelow]

I am not the developer of this repo :P

Ask @jomwells

[h4nc]

In the meanwhile custom updater is depricated.

Could you add support for HACS?

[jomwells]

Again, my fault for constantly being behind on HA updates, looking into it now 👍

[jomwells]

I've split up the repos and (hopefully) added support for HACS for all three components, could you let me know if it is working for you using hacs custom repositories, and if it's all working I will see if I can get them added to the default list

[h4nc]

Just tested. It's works (installed ambihue and ambilights). However I did not try installing Ambilight+Yeelight as I don't have those lights.

Great work thanks!

[jomwells]

Perfect, thanks!

@jomwells Found one issue with ambihue

in switch.yaml

before:

- platform: philips_ambihue

now the example has to be changed to:

- platform: philips_ambilight+hue

[jomwells]

Good spot, fixed 👍 Thanks

[h4nc]

it stills shows up at the hacs page of ambi hue. Don't know when or how that page refreshes, but could cause confusion.

[jomwells]

Yeah it will for a while, I haven’t quite figured that out yet either, but restarting ha seemed to fix it for me, it just needs to pull the new info.md, all new users will see the updated text :)

perfect
