Getting Invalid Add-on repository! error message when trying to add repo in Home Assistant OS 5.10:

Hi! I may be wrong, but it sounds to me that you're trying to add it the wrong way? Are you adding it from Supervisor -> ... -> Add repository? If my assumption is right, this is not the correct way to do it. This is not an add-on but a custom component. The difference has been confusing to me too (maybe it still is), but an add-on is (to my understanding) a separate Docker-container running the Supervisor and that is also why people not running the OS will also not be able to install add-ons without doing it manually (for instance Node Red, Samba, Mosquitto). A custom component on the other hand is just python code written according to the HA specification and will add sensors et.c talking to external APIs for instance.

Long story short: Either use HACS or manually clone the repository (or download and paste into) the folder "config/custom_components/". If you don't have a folder called custom_components, just create it. When using HACS, you also need to add the repo as a custom repo since it is not yet among the official ones there.

Perhaps I misunderstood you here, but the logger file you sent led me to believe that you might have done it like an add-on?

Nice, thanks tmjo. I'll give that a try! Will solve this issue once its confirmed even tho you are probably right.

noobscode commented 3 years ago

Thanks tmjo. You where right. Perhaps the docs needs to be updated with som more details.

Glad it worked out! We may have a look at the docs, but I know that the whole Core/Supervised/Idontknowwhat and integration/component/custom_component vs add-on can be confusing at first, I've been down that road myself. Good luck with you Easee integration anyways!
