If HACS looks different for you, you may have experimental features turned on. Check this article to fix it:

Thank you for a great tutorial. When almost at the beginning you said "First thing it tells you to do is to go to Home Assistant..." I actually screamed because that was the point the "official guide" lost me. :D It just says "go to Add-ons"! I know I'm a noob and maybe I should know what Add-ons are being talked about, but it definitely is not obvious from the guide. So again, thank you for explaining better.

Thank you for the install Guide, super quick explanation easy to follow, no long winded speeches thank you

I am brand new to HA and I really appreciate how you explain things to make them simple Thank you! Subscribed with ALL. :)

Very nicely made video. Very easy to follow along. One part is not knowing if I am runing a core or container HA system from a HA raspberryPIOS build.

I couldn't get the link on the HACS site to work, and the site doesn't show the SSH command anymore. This video was great and this method still works! Thanks Aaron!

Hello sir, I have a question! Let s say I make my H.A. on a raspberry pi cluster all the automations will run on this cluster. But If I want to make like a remote control display using another raspberry pi, will all the computation and automation be done on the cluster or this New Pi Display let s say will also take on the automation? Because I would love to have a cluster to run all the data and computation and automation and some display just for control and info. Is it possible ? Also can I somehow lock all the setting bar and other useless things on these remote displays? Let s say to have on living room display, a dashnoard only for lights and Window blinds.

BTW, the sidebar thing you mentioned for HACS shows up with the Dark Theme I have. Just a top :)

Nice job, well explained. Are you going to do a full new sectional dashboard?

[ferencp.]

Hello, I'm slowly going crazy. Where is the config/custom_components folder? I should copy files there, but I can't find it.

Man, Hacs is soooo good, but the whole ideal is to be TOTALLY Safe and secure.. Hacs (which i've been using for years) has be not wanting to re-install it after a drive failure and fresh new install of home assistant...

[briak]

Hi. I dont have ADD ON folder. I use Asustor NAS with integrated homeassistant. Do you have suggest? I looking for the solution?

[GaryEasonFlightArtworks]

That is not the information I see on the HACS download page which itself does not exist ("Start using HACS" maybe?) - which instead requires clicking a link - which doesn't work - for a Missing add-on repository, that then supposedly lets you install HACS. Extremely confusing, like everything about HA!

[KillerRobotz]

okay i installed hacs now when i try to add the bluetooth link and press add nothing happens

[clintbarton]

I’ve followed all this but when I click on hacs it takes be to a dashboard but it just shows on line 1 HACS and line 2 Alexa. If I click on hacs from there I just get an info page

[charlino]

Today for HA OS/Supervised is some different. Thanks..

This worked for me up until the icon didnt show up. Im on a mac. I did restart home assistant through the app but that didnt do anything
