## **Installation Guide**

### **Method 1: Manual Installation**
1. **Download Files**: Clone or download the `custom_components` folder from this repository.
2. **Copy to Home Assistant**: Transfer the downloaded files to your Home Assistant's `custom_components` directory.
3. **Restart Home Assistant**: Ensure the new integration is recognized by restarting Home Assistant.

### **Method 2: HACS (Home Assistant Community Store)**
1. **Add Repository**: In HACS, navigate to "Integrations" then click on the "+ Explore & Add Integrations" button. Use the URL of this GitHub repository to add it as a custom repository.
2. **Install Integration**: Search for "Mertik Maxitrol Fireplace Integration" and click "Install".

### **Configuration**
After installation by either method, proceed to configure the integration:
