[Solved] Installing HACS under Home Assistant

kipa · October 9, 2025, 7:11pm

I've been struggling to find an answer to this for hours with no luck, but when I try to add

https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat

I get the response "https://github.com/jason0x43/hacs-hubitat is not a valid add-on repository".

Any clue why that is happening?

First add HACS

Then within HACS search for "Hubitat" (see below). Then add the integration ...

The problem I am having is that "HACS" does not show up anywhere beyond the installer after it successfully executes. So searching for Hubitat from there gets me nowhere with no clear way to add it to the sidebar.

It appears as if you have not completed the steps indicated in the HACS installation instructions.

If those steps don't work, you should seek additional help in the Home Assistant Community; they are a better resource to resolve issues related to Home Assistant.

HACS installation authorization was the issue. Out of the dozens of people saying 'install it' and 'follow the instructions in the log', none mentioned that step.

THANKS!
