Adding support for HACS

[troykelly]

Will need to be compliant with the HACS rules before listing - but at least people can use HACS to install from the repo.

Huh weird. I was able to install it with HACS prior to this (after adding this repo to HACS as a custom repo). Do I have to do anything special to switch to the official HACS distribution?

[madpilot]

No idea - I've never used HACS. @troykelly ?

[troykelly]

tl;dr You shouldn't need to change anything @bjeanes

longer version: Once I get a chance to fix the missing brand, @madpilot can request listing in HACS to make it easier (or not - totally up to them!) HACS's "listed" repositories are really just references to the repos so you don't have to add them manually. I'm surprised you could just add the repo without the hacs.json - maybe custom repo's are a little more forgiving?

The brand stuff is fixed. Last error is "The repository is missing topics" - https://github.com/madpilot/hass-amber-electric/runs/3067287117 - which I don't know how to fix

@madpilot That one is tucked away here. You sort of need a Rosetta Stone to work out some HA stuff.

Ok, we are green: https://github.com/madpilot/hass-amber-electric/runs/3074022114

How do I request a HACs listing?

[troykelly]

I had to remove mine, so I've added yours here. If it gets rejected for trying to do two things at once - the instructions are here.

[madpilot]

Cool - can't do it now, will try tonight or in the morning

[troykelly]

Turns out I can't do it - I'm not a major contributor Error: 'troykelly' is not a major contributor to 'madpilot/hass-amber-electric'

You will need to add to the appropriate spot in integration

  "madpilot/hass-amber-electric",

[madpilot]

Done. Waiting for approval
