docs: explain the grey HACS icon so users are not left guessing - #22
Merged
Conversation
The HACS dashboard shows a placeholder instead of the Mixergy icon, which looks like a broken or half-finished install. It is a HACS limitation affecting every custom integration published after February 2026: brand images now ship inside the integration (this one does), home-assistant/brands no longer accepts custom-integration submissions, and the HACS dashboard still reads the older CDN. Adds a one-line note under the install badge and a full FAQ entry, both stating plainly that nothing is wrong, that the icon is correct everywhere inside Home Assistant, and linking the upstream issue and proposed fix so the claim is verifiable rather than reassurance on trust.

Why
HACS shows a grey placeholder instead of the Mixergy icon. To anyone installing this, that reads as a broken or half-finished integration — and there's currently nothing in the repo telling them otherwise.
What it says
A one-line note directly under the install badge, plus a full FAQ entry in the troubleshooting guide:
custom_components/mixergy_tank/brand/),home-assistant/brandsno longer accepts custom-integration submissions, and the HACS dashboard still reads that older CDNBoth link hacs/integration#5171 and the proposed fix #5388, so a reader can verify the claim rather than taking reassurance on trust.
