Adding this custom integration to my home assistant

[Akusho]

Hello, I'm a complete newbie to Home Assistant and Linux in general. I'm trying to set a connection to the LED strip controller with this custom integration. I have downloaded all the files from config-flow and put them in config/custom_components/sp108e_ws2815. I added

led light

- platform: sp_108e_ws2815
  host: 10.0.0.6
  name: 'LED Shop'

in configuration.YAML, checked it and restarted. But I cannot figure out how to add this custom integration now. It doesn't show up anywhere. What am I missing?

hi,

using the config-flow you don't want anything in the config.yaml file. after cloning / copying in the directory you should see it on the integrations page.

u add the device, name, ip addy there.

thanks, sam

Tried that as well. I added the yaml part because nothing was showing up. I'm running Home Assistant on VM. I have downloaded all the files and then added them into the VM: https://imgur.com/0OG7vQ0 But nothing new shows up in integration by itself, and nothing by that name can be added as an integration. Do I just put the files in that folder, restart and then its supposed to show up by itself?

prolly not a bad idea to restart once its in the custom directory, then you should find the integration when you hit add integration button.

thanks, sam

Hello, Removed the lines from configuration yaml. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but nothing new appears in integrations and no new brand appears in "add integration".

Hi @Akusho, I've just set this integration up and came across your post as I was having the same issue of the integration not appearing for me. In the end, I went to Settings > Device & Services > Add Integration, and searched for "sp108e_ws2815".

For me it showed up by the time I'd typed SP1 and while I've yet to test much, it is working.

Thanks for the great integration @samhstein!
