HACS not seeing downloaded components after 2025.1

[sacred knot]

After updating to 2025.1.1 HACS doesn't see any of my custom repostiories or downloaded integrations/frontend components within the GUI. I can still see them in the YAML

Make sure you've updated HACS to 2.0.2

[sacred knot]

Currently at that version

I see them as entities, but I cant add/edit my custom repositories. Basically 2025.1 broke SmartThings Custom and from what I gather he's not updating that anymore. So now I want to remove that old repostory so I can add the offical smartthing integration.

[maiden tinsel]

Remove the integration from the integration page?

[strange steppe]

Integrations: dashboard

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your integrations

But won't it still be in my custom repositories and stuff? Or do we add/edit/update all this now through the entities page?

Cause HACS doesn't even show I've downloaded anything in the GUI. But I have the yaml still

Anyone? I am unable to update any of my custom components like Frigate

Same here . I saw this error in log : 2025-01-07 16:42:32.429 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.hacs] HACS is disabled - restore

So I got it fixed. Once you get HACS 2.0.2 install and you reboot HA, disable HACS in the integration page go to the terminal and cd to ./storage and find the file named hacs.repositories and either delete the file and replace it from a backup prior to 2025.1.0 or delete its contents and paste in the backups. Then reenable the integration and reboot HA. Should be fixed

I don’t know why, but my backup was corrupted. To resolve this, I used the trick of reactivating HACS by checking the "Enable AppDemo" box. After that, I read some other forums, and since my backup was corrupted, I had to redownload everything I had in HACS to ensure it reflected what I had installed. Thankfully, the configuration and data of the integrations were not affected.

Now, everything works fine, but I’ve decided to stick with HA version 2025.1.0 for now. I think I’ll wait for version 2025.1.2 before updating again.

Glad to hear it's fixed. HA needs to be better about their breaking changes. This could have been bad for alot of us

[desert yoke]

Yes im agree with you. Quick question if i want duplicate my environment for test purposes what should be the best way ?

[sacred knot]

Personally I create a zfs snapshot of my HASS VM before I do anything. That way if something breaks it can be restored within seconds.

But if you wanted a test environment, create a seperate network/vlan, clone your VM/CT and change the IP/hostname, etc. Then add it as a seperate server in your companion app.

cant find ./storage

i have a /custom_components/hacs/repositories/ with a bunch of files ***.py

either way, i went back to the previous version 2.0.1 it works

[sacred knot]

It's a hidden folder. Do ls -a and see if you can see it

[autumn charm]

So i have HA OS running in proxmox as a VM - how would i go about doing this in there?

Running into the same issue myself with HACS not seeing my integrations in the UI (but my frontend integrations are there, clearly, because i don't have weird errors popping up on my dashboard)

when i console into it, i get the ha cli but i can't do anything with the filesystem in there

oh nvm. i can do this from the terminal/ssh addon in haos

[autumn charm]

Actually this didn't work to fix my hacs

I didn't have a snapshot before the update. I guess I just have to redownload all my custom integrations now
