Dear all,

I’m following the instructions in the eWeLink app to connect it to Home Assistant:

I’ve already found the package via the GitHub link and want to install it, but I keep getting the following error message.

Your Docker build is failing because the Debian Buster repositories have been deprecated and moved to an archive server. The error messages like 404 Not Found and does not have a Release file confirm that the URLs in your image are no longer valid.
By the way, this add-on is rather old and problematic. Use this instead.

Ah, classic mix-up! The GitHub repo AlexxIT/SonoffLAN is not an add-on repository for Home Assistant—it’s a custom integration, and that distinction matters more than you’d think.

If you’re running Home Assistant in Docker, you won’t have access to the Add-on Store (which is exclusive to Home Assistant OS and Supervised installations). Instead, you’ll need to install SonoffLAN via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). Here’s how to do it properly:

How to Install SonoffLAN in Docker-based Home Assistant

  1. Install HACS If you haven’t already, follow the official HACS installation guide to get it set up.
  2. Add SonoffLAN as a Custom Repository in HACS
  • Go to HACS → Integrations → Click the three dots in the top right → Custom repositories
  • Add https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN
  • Set category to Integration, not Add-on
  1. Install the Integration
  • Search for “Sonoff LAN” in HACS Integrations
  • Click Install
  • Restart Home Assistant
  1. Configure in configuration.yaml Add something like this:

yaml

sonoff:
  username: !secret sonoff_username
  password: !secret sonoff_password
  reload: always
  1. Restart Home Assistant Again Your Sonoff devices should now appear in the States tab.
