Repository exists in store (but it doesn't)

[MK00000000000000000000]

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something... but trying to add this repo to HACS, it seems to think it's already exists. It doesnt and I can't find it in the store by name.

[bastgau]

I cannot explain that.

Have you tried restarting your Home Assistant instance and trying again ?

I did actually try that. Its odd, b/c I've never had this repo added. Was really hoping to use yours as the main one is out of commission. Thanks!

[heyepic]

Same issue on my end as well. Definitely wasn't there prior and it isn't there now. Can't add it to HACS.

Countless restarts, removal of others, addition of others, all worked - still can't add yours sadly. Never seen this bug before!

[bastgau]

Could you please try using this link : https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=bastgau&repository=ha-pi-hole-v6&category=Integration ?

[heyepic]

It tried, but ultimately ended here:

Side note: Went the manual route via samba upload and works good! THANK YOU

Getting the same errors using the custom repository in hacs as well as the above direct link. I enabled debug logging in hacs and see this line:

DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.hacs] <Integration bastgau/ha-pi-hole-v6> Unregister stale custom repository

[bastgau]

What HA version do yo use ?

[heyepic]

What HA version do yo use ?

2.0.5 on my end

[ruchoff]

HA 2025.3.1
HACS 2.0.5

[ruchoff]

On reboot, I do see these log items:
DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.hacs] <Integration bastgau/ha-pi-hole-v6> Running checks against v1.7.0
INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.hacs] <Integration bastgau/ha-pi-hole-v6> Registration completed

Then in my .storage/hacs.data I see:

        {
          "id": "938616079",
          "new": true,
          "full_name": "bastgau/ha-pi-hole-v6"
        },

This repo object is the only item with the new key.

[bastgau]

Don't know the reasons. I'm not an expert of HACS.

And if you try to Add a device directly : Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration > Search "Pi-hole V6 Integration" ?

[ruchoff]

Does not appear in the integration list. I also do not see it downloaded in the custom_components folder.

[bastgau]

Sorry I cannot help you. Maybe someone knows the solution.

Another solution will be to download manually the files into the custom_components directory.

[bastgau]

The issue is still relevant ?

[heyepic]

For me, yes. Still issues.

I installed via local and will use this for the time being. It's working great - thank you!

I was able to install by copying the files into custom components folder, and rebooting, then installing through normal add devices.

I think, this is just a hunch, that the this custom hacs integration and the original pi-hole components share some elements and is the reason it thinks it’s already in the store.

Nope. No component is shared between this integration et the core integration.

I have been having the same problem with adding through HACS, I had to install manually. Once installed the integration works great. (I manually installed 1.7.0b0, about a month ago)

Unfortunately I've not had the time since to dig into this but there are holidays coming up so maybe then. Just wanted to bump this as it was marked as stale and wondered if anyone else who had the same issue already found a fix?

[misterjmw]

This issue is occurring on my instance as well, cannot add by a custom repository link in HACS nor the provided link to home-asssistant.io.

[bastgau]

I haven't found a solution to this problem yet.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce the issue on my own.

[Ed1123]

What HA version are you in? I faced a similar problem and updating to the latest solved it.

[jl-678]

Not for me. I am on the latest, and the problem continues.

[misterjmw]

Same as @jl-678, can't get any newer.

Core 2025.4.4
Supervisor 2025.04.1
Operating System 15.2
Frontend 20250411.0

[apeeters]

hacs/integration#4246 and hacs/integration#4518 seem to be related issues in HACS.

[jl-678]

These tickets were closed. One appeared to be a user error problem and the other was less clear. Regardless, I am not sure if these relate.

[bastgau]

I don't know.

On my side, I don't know how I can improve that.

[misterjmw]

Same; Problem AFAIK is that we're in a position where the user doesn't have a work around.

As a test; I forked the repository and tried adding it to HACS and received the same error. I think there's something in a configuration file or something HACS is reading that makes us unable to add this as a custom repo.

[bastgau]

Hey @misterjmw

Yes it's a possibility. if you find the reason, please share with us the solution.
