Can't create integration

mabusdogma commented 2 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to install the integration after install/copy the files in the custom_components folder, but no luck so far :(

First I have tried with HACS, adding https://github.com/thorin8k and then installing and rebooting, it creates a folder called techlife_bulb_control inside custom_components... but when i go to Configuration -- Integrations -- Add Integration nothing related to techlife appears, but i can see this in Logs: 2021-10-12 01:32:09 WARNING (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration techlife_bulb_control which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant

After this, I tried the old way: copying the files manually to custom_components folder. I made combinations in the name of the folder (techlife_bulb techlife_bulb_control and even just techlife.... but no integration can be found after rebooting.

Then I tried to copy directly on custom components, with some files outside techlife folder, directly on custom_components... nothing happens.

I'm pretty sure the anwser could be easy and dumb, but... can you please help me? What method did you use to install in order to get the integration? What am I doing wrong? Can I see the structure of folders? Maybe something else is wrong? I let you some images of the custom components right now, with some (failed) attemps.

Best regards, Salvador techlife all techlife 3 techlife 2 techlife 1

After putting the techlife_bulb folder in custom_components:

You have to edit your configuration.yaml file in the home assistant config folder adding the following:

light:
  - platform: techlife_bulb_control
    mac_address: "xx:xx:xx:xx" 
    name: "bedroom"
    broker_url: 0.0.0.0
    broker_username: username
    broker_password: password

Replacing the following values with your bulb's:

mac_address: the mac of your lightbulb
broker_url: the url of your mqtt broker, in my case this is the home assistant ip
broker_username: username to connect to the broker
broker_password: pasword to connect to the broker

Hey, i'm sorry but this integration is outdated.

I haven't work on this for a long time and it was just compatible with 2021 versions of Home Assistant, i think recent versions have broken its compatibility due to changes in the API.

Said that, the integration was a custom_component, it should not appear in the integration list from the screen, the only way to make it work was via the configuration files.

Maybe you have is other integration deployed?

Sorry i cannot help but i dont have this bulbs anymore in my home 😅
