Hassio integration? about meross-homeassistant HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @pfaffenrodt ,
this is not an add-on and has nothing to do with that. You need to install this custom component within the docker image that runs homeassistant itself (which is entirely based on python).

I suggest you to rely on HACS (another custom component) that can take care of installing many other components (as meross): https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-component-hacs

from meross-homeassistant.

Hi @albertogeniola ,
you are right, the component will be executed in hassio docker image.

On Hassio you add components inside */config/custom_components/*meross_cloud

The component was registered and was tried to be executed, but it missing your meross python package.

Error loading custom_components.meross_cloud. Make sure all dependencies are installed

I did some research and it looks like, that hassio (also home-assistant) uses the manifest.json to install required python packages.
See Docs:
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/creating_integration_manifest.html
Example:
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/hue/manifest.json

So I guess, an manifest.json will be enough. I will try it later and give you an pull request.

Oh sry. There is already an manifest.json file. blame on me. I should go to bed.

But why is not working then. I guess there is also an requirement that is missing in the json file?

@albertogeniola

I dont know why. But it works now. "Connected to the Meross cloud." it says in my logs.

I had to reboot the whole system.

Sorry to waste your time.

Happy Holidays
