Not a valid add-on repository #42

On a fresh install by downloading the vdi disk from home assistant and running it in virtualbox, I attempted to add your repository and received the error that it was not a valid repository.

HA info Home Assistant 2023.1.7 Supervisor 2022.12.1 Operating System 9.4 Frontend 20230110.0 - latest

This may be due to the requirement of a repository.yaml in the root instead of your hacs.json. That was stated in the following link. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/repository/#:~:text=A%20user%20can%20add%20a,textarea%20and%20click%20on%20Save.

This integration cannot be installed through the home assistant repository. You can either figure out how to use HACs or just download the integration from github and place them into 'config/custom_components/cync_lights' in your HA instance. You can copy these files to the directory using the File Editor add-on which is probably the simplest way.

I am simply following the instructions in your readme. I am not searching through the store. I clicked on add repository and added the URL to your repo.

I would also like to add that I forked it, renamed the file to "repository.yaml" and updated it to yaml format and it worked fine. Thought you should know.

My apologies, I was mistaken. I still need the hacs.json that you had for the integration. You do, however, still need the repository.yaml if you want to be able to add the repo through the GUI.
