HACS Integration Problem

[BarryMar]

This is more of a general note for any potential new HA users like me learning the ropes.

When installing from HACS, I couldn't get the code to be recognized by the Lovelace GUI Editor. I kept getting these "No card type configured” errors when I was using the "Manual" YAML entry. I checked the Resources and the code was there. Rebooted a bunch of times and still no luck.

Based on a hint at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/some-hacs-installed-custom-cards-not-working/323226 I found I had to create a duplicate resource entry to make it pass the entry step.

So there were now two entries: /hacsfiles/love-lock-card/love-lock-card.js
and /hacsfiles/love-lock-card/love-lock-card.js?hacstag=192835334380

After that tweak and a restart my little test YAML worked: type: custom:love-lock-card title: Fireplace Lights (Restricted) popup: password password: 1234 cards:

• entity: light.msl320_5b78 name: Password Lamp type: light

The Restriction Card in HACS provides essentially the same functionality as this code and doesn't have this odd requirement, so it might be a better choice for newer users: https://github.com/iantrich/restriction-card
