This implement support for IHC in Home Assistant. The soap interfacing to IHC is done in this library
https://github.com/dingusdk/PythonIhcSdk
It should be installed automatically by home assistant from the PyPi.
Option 1
Download the git repository manually and copy the custom_components to the homeassistant configuration folder (the folder that contains your configuration yaml file) - so you have the "custom_components" folder as a sub folder to your HA configuration folder.
Option 2 (for linux)
If you want to be able to get updates easier using git, it may be a good idea to keep the clone of the git repository in a separate folder, and then make a link to the custom_components folder. Assuming you have a homeassistant user to run HA do like this:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/dingusdk/haihcYou will now have a clone of the repository in a haihc folder in your home folder. Now make the link the the custom_components folder
cd .homeassistant
ln -s /home/homeassistant/haihc/custom_components custom_componentslater when you want to get updates from git do:
cd ~/haihc
git pullConfiguration
