The component and platforms in this repository are not meant to be used by a user, but as a "blueprint" that custom component developers can build upon, to make more awesome stuff.

HAVE FUN! 😎

This is simple, by having custom_components look (README + structure) the same it is easier for developers to help each other and for users to start using them.

If you are a developer and you want to add things to this "blueprint" that you think more developers will have use for, please open a PR to add it :)

This repository contains multiple files, here is a overview:

1. Create a new repository in GitHub, using this repository as a template by clicking the "Use this template" button in the GitHub UI.
2. Open your new repository in Visual Studio Code devcontainer (Preferably with the "Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Named Container Volume..." option).
3. Rename all instances of the integration_blueprint to custom_components/<your_integration_domain> (e.g. custom_components/awesome_integration).
4. Rename all instances of the Integration Blueprint to <Your Integration Name> (e.g. Awesome Integration).
5. Run the scripts/develop to start HA and test out your new integration.

These are some next steps you may want to look into:

• Add tests to your integration, pytest-homeassistant-custom-component can help you get started.
• Add brand images (logo/icon) to https://github.com/home-assistant/brands.
• Create your first release.
• Share your integration on the Home Assistant Forum.
• Submit your integration to the HACS.
