Manual installation — works without HACS
- Download the client ZIP to your computer.
- Extract it. Copy the
hophop_casafolder insidecustom_componentsinto your Home Assistant configuration folder’scustom_componentsdirectory. Create that directory if necessary. Use a file editor, network share, or SSH appropriate to your installation. - Check the resulting path:
/config/custom_components/hophop_casa/manifest.jsonfor Home Assistant OS. Container/Core installations use their own configuration directory. Avoid an extra nested ZIP folder. - Perform a full Home Assistant restart. Reloading YAML or the integration is insufficient after installing files.
Connect your installation
- In Home Assistant, open Settings → Devices & services → Add integration.
- Search for HopHop Casa and enter these values.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Device token | The token shown when you added the device. Treat it like a password. |
| Local Home Assistant URL | http://127.0.0.1:8123 for the usual installation. If you configured local HTTPS or a different port, use the address reachable from Home Assistant itself. |
The integration connects to wss://hophop.casa/ws automatically; no server address needs to be entered. Save the integration, then refresh Devices here. Once it shows Online, select Open. Each separate Home Assistant installation needs its own device and token.
Need a hand?
The integration is missing
Check the folder path, fully restart Home Assistant, and refresh the browser. Check Settings → System → Logs for installation errors.
My device stays offline
Check that this device’s subscription is active and the device has not been removed. Confirm the device token and local Home Assistant address in the integration’s Configure option. Its diagnostics show connection state and sanitized errors. DNS failures and server 502 errors retry automatically, but the network and server must become available.
I lost the token
Open Devices → Manage device → Rotate token. Copy the replacement into the integration’s Configure option. The previous token stops working.
The device is online but Home Assistant does not open
Check the local Home Assistant URL, including its port and HTTP/HTTPS scheme. Use the private link shown in Devices. Keep your Home Assistant login enabled.
