Installing into hassio-not really an issue more operator(me) ingnorance.

[shockhome]

Hello. It's been a long time since anyone has commented here. I'm not even sure if this bridge is needed anymore with the
integration now available.
So I'm new to Hassio. I have a couple questions. First is this bridge needed any more with the above integration I listed? If it is then conitnue reading if not just let me know if you would and I'll stop trying to install.

I have successfully install everyone thing on the grove ide without issue. But the problem I have is installing the hassio bridge side. And confusing(to me) instructions.
I have hassio running in a ubuntu vm on a windows host.
I have tried every command in the instructions in numerous different ways via putty ssh and in the command line when running the vm. I am stuck. I've even tried adding it directly in hassio gui as a repository addition. I keep failing. Can anyone give me instruction?

If you just want to be able to control ST devices in Home Assistant, then you do not need this bridge anymore. If you want to expose HA devices (not present in ST) then it appears you will need to use this bridge.

Said another way, the current ST plugin for HA just pulls devices from ST into HA. Not the other way around. That is, it won't publish HA devices back to ST.

Hope that helps.
