How can I add the cards?

[wsw70]

I just installed Adaptative Cover Pro, set up a building, added a cover and ... it does not work 🙂 (specifically the shutter opened in full sun). Before going further into the documentation (and asking questions), I wanted to check how ACP sees my window and its shutter on the full card.

But where is this card? I tried to add it via Edit dashboard → Add card but it does not show up in the list of cards

EDIT: I saw two places in the docs where the installation is discussed: https://github.com/jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro/wiki/Dashboard-Cards and https://github.com/jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro-card#install

HACS (recommended)

• In HACS, open the ⋮ menu → Custom repositories.
• Add https://github.com/jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro-card with category Dashboard.
• Search for Adaptive Cover Pro Card, download, and refresh your browser.

All five cards register in the card picker as Adaptive Cover Pro - XXX.

HACS (recommended):

• Add https://github.com/jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro-card as a custom repository (category: Lovelace).
• Install Adaptive Cover Pro Card and refresh.

The cards appear in the card picker under "Adaptive Cover Pro".

Both installation methods are similar (the instructions differ but the idea is the same) but after installing the card (note that it is of type plugin despite choosing Dashboard)

I still cannot find it despite reloading

Seeing the HACS entry classified as a “Plugin” is normal here. The cards are frontend plugins, and they are distributed separately from the Adaptive Cover Pro integration.

The important check is whether Home Assistant loaded the JavaScript resource. Under Settings → Dashboards → Resources, you should have a JavaScript module similar to:

/hacsfiles/adaptive-cover-pro-card/adaptive-cover-pro-card.js

If it is missing, add it manually. Then perform a hard browser refresh or clear the Home Assistant frontend cache; a normal reload can keep the old card-picker state.

You can also test the card without relying on the picker by adding a Manual card:

type: custom:adaptive-cover-pro-card
entry_id: YOUR_CONFIG_ENTRY_ID

If that reports “Custom element does not exist,” the frontend resource still has not loaded. If it renders, the installation is fine and only the picker registration or cache is stale.

Ahhhh, I forgot to install the card, I just installed the main integration. Sorry for the noise! I will now dig down into the settings. Thanks!
