To get the repository in HACs click the custom repository menu from the upper right of the HACs store then enter https://github.com/ESPSomfy-RTS-HA into the url then add the integration. Once you are done doing that restart HA and your device should be discovered.
when you do get adventurous with a solder iron check out my S3 build. https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS/wiki/Mini-ESP32s3-Device-Build

Hi there, just finished building a device and want to share my experience with you, and thank the creator of the project.
Well, i am totally new to microsoldering, though i consider myself a geek, so, i decided to start this project cause I am in the process of making my home domotic.
I have several blinds remote controller as well some more controlled by hardwired wall switches, primary goal is to control the remote controlled ones blinds vía voice.
I bought all the required for a mini controller hardware at AliExpress. When all the stuff arrived I felt a bit overwhelmed heheheheheneheh. Well I soldered pins tomthe esp device in order to connect It to the antena with wires and came up with this
Have to say that after flashing the firm and connectimg my tablet to the esp wifi, tachan!!!!! Everything worked as espected.
Well, i followed the wiki steps and found that the scan button never ffound ant available wifi, even though the device IS besides the main router, so i wrote the ssid down along with the password, and set Up a static ip, and hit the save adapter button wich never poped up the the warning screen.
This confused me, though didn't stopped me, so I tried to reboot the device and voila there It was.
So, again, thank you for your project and now I Will be testimg It Deep and come back with questions. Have to say that every remote controlled blind is configured and working nice.
One thing I have found IS that the HA repository isn't available at HACS, IS there any issue with that?
