Please help - I don't know how to add HiFi Berry via HACS
jaku2019 opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I’m using Digi+ card on RPi 0W with HiFiBerryOS 20201213 installed.
I wanted to install this integration via HACS.
Everything went successfuly, but now I’m struggling with configuiring that.
Should I paste HiFiBarry’s IP in the “host” section?
What should I type in authtoken field?
Regards,
Jakub
Yes, put HiFiBerry ip in the host field and leave the authtoken blank (or if there's any then set the value from HiFiBery: cat /etc/audiocontrol2.conf|grep authtoken). You can try to connect to API manually with http://your-hifiberry-ip:81/api/player/status
I think that problem is somewhere else, after some update I can't connect anymore too.

Thank you for the answer.
Unfortunetly, after typing proper information, I can't connect to my HiFiberry.
Do you know any way to retrieve older (the working one) version on this plugin?

PS. I'm using HiFiberryOS on the Pi 0 and I want to add Spotify connect to it. I wanted to use Home assistant as a workaround (Spotify->Home Assistant->HiFiberry). Do you think that it's going to work?
Hi Jaksub, I think there's misunderstanding. This is just a control plugin so won't add any features to your HiFiberry. If you have HiFiBerry installed on your Pi Zero then it should work with Spotify Connect out of the box
@willholdoway but both of us were describing the HiFiBerry HA integration installed with HACS. It was working, then went broke.
