Install via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store)
- Go to HACS -> Integrations -> "+ Explore & Download Repos"
- Find "Node-RED Companion".
- Open the search result and click "Download this Repository with HACS".
- Refresh your browser window (bug in HA where it doesn't update the integration list after a reboot)
- In the Home Assistant UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "Node-RED"
-
Using your tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find
configuration.yaml
). -
If you do not have a
custom_components
directory (folder) there, you need to create it. -
In the
custom_components
directory (folder) create a new folder callednodered
. -
Download all the files from the
custom_components/nodered/
directory (folder) in this repository. -
Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
-
Restart Home Assistant
-
Refresh your browser window (bug in HA where it doesn't update the integration list after a reboot)
-
In the Home Assistant UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "Node-RED"
Using your HA configuration directory (folder) as a starting point you should have this:
custom_components/nodered/translations/en.json custom_components/nodered/__init__.py custom_components/nodered/binary_sensor.py custom_components/nodered/config_flow.py custom_components/nodered/const.py custom_components/nodered/discovery.py custom_components/nodered/manifest.json custom_components/nodered/sensor.py custom_components/nodered/services.yaml custom_components/nodered/switch.py custom_components/nodered/websocket.py
Once installed and added via Home-Assistant Integrations all configuration is done from within Node-RED.
