Migrating from Custom Repository

Migrating from Custom Repository to HACS Default Store

Once Adaptive Cover Pro is approved in the HACS default store, you can migrate from the custom repository install to the official listing. Your configuration, entities, and settings are preserved — this is purely a HACS bookkeeping change.

Steps

1. Open HACS in your Home Assistant sidebar.

2. Find Adaptive Cover Pro under Integrations. It will be listed under your custom repositories.

3. Remove the custom repository entry:

   • Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to Adaptive Cover Pro.
   • Select Remove (this removes the HACS entry only — your installed files and configuration are untouched).

4. Remove the custom repository source:

   • In HACS, go to the three-dot menu in the top-right corner → Custom repositories.
   • Find https://github.com/jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro and delete it.

5. Search the default store:

   • In HACS → Integrations, click Explore & download repositories.
   • Search for Adaptive Cover Pro and select it from the default store listing.
   • Click Download.

6. Restart Home Assistant when prompted.

That's it. Home Assistant will find the same custom_components/adaptive_cover_pro/ folder it was already using, so all your devices, entities, and automations continue to work without reconfiguration.

Why bother?

Installing from the default store means HACS can notify you of updates automatically, without needing the custom repository URL saved separately. It also gives you a cleaner HACS dashboard.
