[FR] HACS support

[fonix232]

It would be awesome if you added support for HACS - even as a custom repo.

The only thing that seems to be needed is adding the hacs.json file to the root of the repo, with the following basic content:

{
  "name": "LEDNetWF BLE",
  "content_in_root": true
}

Then the users can add the repo directly to HACS and let it manage versions whenever a release is made.

I think this is a great idea. I will be happy to look at this.

I think we need an icon too. Any ideas?

Go ahead Will, I am very busy this weeks, but feel free to do anything you want! Will be following up via emails, so feel free to ping me anywhere. Thanks again for all the work!

Icon added. I took a free bulb icon and added a colour wheel in Inkscape. Let me know what you think.

looks great!

PR for brands icon: home-assistant/brands#4939

[fonix232]

FYI @8none1 @raulgbcr you don't need the logo in the brands repo, unless you want the HACS repo to be added to the official list. Adding hacs.json should be enough for users to be able to add it as a third party repo, so IMO that's slightly higher priority.

@raulgbcr when you get a moment, can you add some "topics" to the repo as per: https://hacs.xyz/docs/publish/start#topics

Created hassfest action as per: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2020/04/16/hassfest/

Hacsfest action passing 🎉

@raulgbcr In order to have our PR accepted in to HACS we have to cut a new release after the Hacsfest validation checks started passing.

As such, can you cut a new minor release?
(Or, if you're happy for me to do it, I will. I don't know what to do, but I can work it out)

Once the new release is done I have a PR for HACS, and we are done!!

Done! I believe you should be able to do it too, I just create a tag and upload the file with the lednetwf.zip name (and thank you again in the description for all the work 😄)

PR: For inclusion in HACS proper: hacs/default#2208

[raulgbcr]

cool! There was a little error with the release zip, zipped the wrong folder, have fixed it now

[8none1]

I think we might be waiting a long time for the PR in HACS to merge. There is a backlog of hundreds going back to September. So I'm going to close this issue as the work on our end is, as far as I can tell, completed.

We're in a good state following this work:

• We have actions set up to do automatic linting
• The files are laid out in more of a "standard" way (when compared with other hacs repos)
• We can be added as a custom repo to HACS now (I haven't actually tested this, I need to upgade HA first)

[8none1]

Whoops!

I deleted the forked HACS repo with the main inclusion request before it was merged. I've created another one: hacs/default#2345
