Document installation steps with supervised HA

Open brainboutique opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Just moving from FHEM (integration based on https://github.com/brainboutique/rct-mqtt) to HA. Was able to install via HACS - however I believe in the install doc two things should be mentioned.

a) Install rct_client apt get install python3-pip pip install rctclient==0.0.3

b) Restart HA after install via HACS to make the integration appear AND reload the page using Ctrl-F5.

Glad to hear it worked for you in the end. HA should install the rctclient dependency automatically on startup. That's why HACS displays a warning that it needs to be restarted before the integration is available. Or am I misremembering it?

Great tool! Hm, no, for me did not auto-install... But did crank up HA Supervised on oob ubuntu - did not have pip installed... Maybe that's the reason? Still mabe worth mentioning in case someone runs into this...

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I'll take a look at that installation scenario. :+1: Hope you don't mind if I rephrase this issue's title to represent that.
