<p>When a component does not show up, many different things can be the case. Before you try any of these steps, make sure to look at the <code>home-assistant.log</code> file and see if there are any errors related to your component you are trying to set up.</p>
<p><strong>Problems with the configuration</strong><br />
<code>configuration.yaml</code> does not allow multiple sections to have the same name. If you want a specific component to be loaded twice, append a number to the name.</p>

<p>If you find any errors or want to expand the documentation, please <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant.io/issues">let us know</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Problems with dependencies</strong><br />
Almost all components have external dependencies to communicate with your devices and services. Sometimes Home Assistant is unable to install the necessary dependencies. If this is the case, it should show up in <code>home-assistant.log</code>.</p>

<p>Almost all components have external dependencies to communicate with your devices and services. Sometimes Home Assistant is unable to install the necessary dependencies. If this is the case, it should show up in <code>home-assistant.log</code>.</p>
<p>First step is trying to restart Home Assistant and see if the problem persists. If it does, please <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues">report it</a> so we can investigate what is going on.</p>
<p><strong>Problems with components</strong><br />
It can happen that some components either do not work right away or stop working after Home Assistant has been running for a while. If this happens to you, please <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues">report it</a> so that we can have a look.</p>
