Installation Instructions

Todd Lucas edited this page May 10, 2024 · 1 revision

The easiest way to install the card is via the Home Assistant Community Store (or HACS for short). Check out the HACS Install Documentation form more information on how to install HACS in your Home Assistant environment.

Don't have HACS, or do not want to use HACS? No problem! You can also install the card manually by copying files from the GitHub project.

Both installation types are covered below.

HACS Installation (recommended)

  • On your Home Assistant sidebar menu, go to HACS > Frontend
  • Click on the 3-dot overflow menu in the upper right, and select custom repositories item.
  • Copy / paste https://github.com/thlucas1/homeassistantcomponent_soundtouchplus_card in the Repository textbox and select Lovelace for the category entry.
  • Click on Add to add the custom repository.
  • You can then click on the SoundTouchPlus Card repository entry (you may need to filter your list first to find the new entry).
  • Click on download to start the download. It will install the card to your /config/www/community/homeassistantcomponent_soundtouchplus_card directory.
  • Go back on your dashboard and click on the icon at the right top corner then on Edit dashboard.
  • You can now click on Add card in the bottom right corner and search for "Custom: SoundTouchPlus Card".

Manual Installation

  • Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
  • If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
  • In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called spotifyplus.
  • Download all of the files from the custom_components/spotifyplus/ directory (folder) in this repository.
  • Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
  • Restart Home Assistant.
  • In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "SpotifyPlus"
