First of all we recommend create a backup in HA before you proceed. We are in no way responsible for any data loss. We also don't expect there will be any data loss, but just in case... make a backup...
You should have Home Assistant running and have to know some basics in using Home Assistant. You are going to need to edit your configuration.yaml
and need to upload files. So access to the file system of Home Assistant is also essential.
You CAN'T use this theme without a Lovelace YAML Dashboard. Editing in the raw config is not going to do it and we don't recommend / support it so don't even bother.
Upgrading from the old version
Because of the rework, a lot has changed like variables and template names. That makes it difficult to just copy paste the new templates. So, to use the new version, you need to remove the old templates and change your dashboards. You can just download the latest release here and go to the documentation page for the card usages.
This will be a one time thing. Newer versions won't have this issue.
HACS Download Coming Soon
HaCasa is not available through HACS yet, but we still recommend installing HACS. There are some integrations that HaCasa depends on which you can easily install through HACS. Manual installation is also possible, but you should check the docs for that in the specific repository of that card.
Manual Download
Downloading HaCasa is really easy but like we said, there are some dependencies. You will need to install those first.
You can skip the recommended ones, but this will ruin the layout and you will need to do more customizations yourself. We don't support this.
