Thanks for the series of very informative videos on home assistant. I recently bought HA yellow and started moving my automations. Your videos are very useful for my learning.

Hi I unable to see the HACS entry page . When I click the HACS sidebar All i get is one line with a repository name with HACS and its info, I dont get anything like integration front ends automation etc. What am i doing wrong its driving me crazy. FYI I have disabled experimental features in configurations.
