Add custom repositories

By default all elements that meet the requirements from these orgs are automatically added:

Developers can also add their repositories to be included by default

But you can add any other repository that meets the requirements, to do so go to the "SETTINGS" tab.

NB!: Don't try to add a users configuration repository, you may be able to add it but it will not give you the result you expect.

custom_repositories

Add the url to the repository under "CUSTOM REPOSITORIES" and select a Category before clicking the "save icon".

Category Description
Appdaemon Apps for AppDaemon
Integration Integrations for Home Assistant (custom_components)
Plugin Pugins for Lovelace (cards, mods, elements, rows and so on.)
Python_Script Python scripts for the python_script integration
Theme Themes for the frontend integration

After adding a repository the repository will be scanned, if it can be tracked the element will show up under "STORE", and you will be redirected to that element.

Want to get inspiration on what to add? Check out the Awesome Home Assistant list it contains links to many custom_components (integrations) and custom_cards (plugins).

If you have added a repository manually and that repository is subsequently added to the 'store' then that will be removed from the custom repository list.
