## Installing AppDaemon
The backend application for HomeAssistant is written in a python for [AppDaemon](https://github.com/AppDaemon/appdaemon).
This means it requires a working and running installation of AppDaemon.
The easiest way to install it is through Home Assistant's Supervisor Add-on Store, it will be automaticly connected to your Home Assistant Instance.

### Add babel package to AppDaemon Container (Optional)
For localisation (date in your local language) you need to add the python package babel to your AppDaemon Installation.

## Installing Studio Code Server (optional, recommended)

## Installing HACS
HACS is the Home Assistant Community Store and allows for community integrations and
automations to be updated cleanly and easily from the Home Assistant web user interface.
It's simple to install the AppDaemon app without HACS, but keeping up to date requires
manual steps that HACS will handle for you: you will be notified of updates, and they
can be installed by a click on a button.
If you want to use HACS, you will have to follow [their documentation on how to install HACS](https://hacs.xyz/docs/setup/download).

## Installing AppDaemon Backend Application
To install Lovelace UI Backend App with HACS, you will need to make sure that you enabled
AppDaemon automations in HACS, as these are not enabled by default:
1. Click on `Configuration` on the left menu bar in Home Assistant Web UI
2. Select `Devices & Services`
3. Select `Integrations`
4. Find `HACS` and click on `Configure`
5. In the window that opens, make sure that `Enable AppDaemon apps discovery & tracking`
is checked, or check it and click `Submit`
6. If you just enabled this (or just installed HACS), you might have to wait a few minutes
as all repositories are being fetched; you might hit a GitHub rate limit, which might
then require you to wait a few hours for HACS to be fully configured. In this case,
you won't be able to proceed to the next steps until HACS is ready.
Now, to install NSPanel Lovelace UI Backend with HACS, follow these steps:
1. Click on `HACS` on the left menu bar in Home Assistant Web UI
2. Click on `Automations` in the right panel
3. Click on `Explore & download repositories` in the bottom right corner
4. Search for `NSPanel`, and click on `NSPanel Lovelace UI Backend` in the list that appears
5. In the bottom right corner of the panel that appears, click on
`Download this repository with HACS`
6. A confirmation panel will appear, click on `Download`, and wait for HACS to
proceed with the download
7. The Backend Application is now installed, and HACS will inform you when updates are available
