There is a good chance that those integrations are indeed packaged (they come with HA core), but just don't show up in the GUI (in the list of integrations to choose from when adding integrations). I am neither a packaging nor a HA core expert, but encountered the same with other integrations. See #4475 (comment)

However, manual configuration of HA core needs SSH access - if you are not familiar with that this workaround is not for you.

If after manual configuration the log shows missing python dependencies, there is a good chance that they can be added to the corresponding python virtual environment using using #4458 (comment)

Thank you for this workaround. With it I could implement the dependency (goslide-api). Unfortunately I do not know the version of the slide integration and cannot find it on github. Do you know, where I can find the version number?

By the way, without version number, the installation (not unexpectedly) fails:
admin@m:/var/packages/homeassistant/target/env/bin$ sudo ./pip install slide Password: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement slide (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for slide WARNING: You are using pip version 20.0.2; however, version 21.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the '/volume1/@appstore/homeassistant/env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

you need to install goslide-api, current version is 0.6.4
you can find this requirement in the manifest.json file for the homeassistant slide integration.

@dontinelli OT, do you operate slide.store hardware yourself? Are you happy with it? I was looking for curtain motors myself, low-prio though. They seem to be quite versatile and easy to install, but have quite a price tag. I wonder how much noise the motor makes. Can you hear it over the noise of the curtain sliders themselves?

according to the manifest.json in github the version of goslide-api is 0.5.1, which I also installed. I now updated to 0.6.4. For slide itself, the version seems to be a different one, at least the installation with 0.6.4 did not work for me:
admin@malimaki:/var/packages/homeassistant/target/env/bin$ sudo ./pip install slide==0.6.4 Password: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement slide==0.6.4 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for slide==0.6.4

you need to install goslide-api==0.6.4 NOT slide

admin@malimaki:/var/packages/homeassistant/target/env/bin$ sudo ./pip install goslide-api==0.6.4

Yes, I just bought and received them last week.
The installation with my (swiss) u-rails is not that straight away as expected (which was also due to the fact that my curtain is sewed to the gliders, so that I could not easily detach and re-attach them as shown in the installation video). Furthermore I had to screw one mount to get better stability. The installation guide itself is well done.
The motor is not too loud but you clearly can hear it. It has about the same loudness as my watch winder. As I expect to use it only at day this does not really bother me.

Ok, I have installed goslide-api (as written above) and now also restarted Home Assistant. I still cannot find slide in the web-interface. Do I have to do anything else (e.g. manually update config)? If yes, where is the configuration.yaml located on Synology? Or do I have to configure the integration manually over SSH?

[rs1gg]

If there are no python dependency errors left in your homeassistant.log, you need to follow the instructions of the Home Assistant slide integration itself: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/slide/

(FYI homeassistant.log is located in /var/packages/homeassistant/target/var/, from where you can also find config/configuration.yaml.)

I added slide and my username and password in configuration.yaml. After restart of HA, I got an error, that slide requires goslide-api 0.5.1 (which makes sense based on the manifest.json). As @hgy59 mentioned above, I should use 0.6.4, I changed the version in manifest.json. Now HA did start without complaining and even a new card with my (currently only) slide has been added to the dashboard.
Thank you both for your swift support, very much appreciated! I guess the ticket can be closed as resolved.

Happy that it works. Just out of curiosity, in which manifest.json (full path) did you change the goslide-api version from 0.5.1 to 0.6.4? (or did I misunderstand your latest comment?)

Ok, I see where some confusion comes from.

Current HA Core indeed requires goslide-api 0.6.4, as can be seen from manifest.json (link provided before). hgy59 most probably wanted to point the finger on the library name, since you initially tried to install 'slide' instead of 'goslide-api'.

The HA Core version currenty delivered with spksrc is 2021.1.5, which depends on goslide-api 0.5.1, see https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/2021.1.5/homeassistant/components/slide/manifest.json

Since it works for you, 0.5.1 and 0.6.4 seem to be interface-compatible. Else, you would not be able to run HA Core 2021.1.5 with goslide-api 0.6.4...

@Starf0x since this issue has been closed over two years, I would suggest creating a new issue, linked to this one, and at-tag dontinelli for their attention to provide suggestions (I'm not tagging them to avoid drawing attention away form the issue you'll file)

I assume this has to do with the interval restriction that was introduced by slide to reduce traffic. Setting the scan_interval to 300 (with subsequent restart and some waiting) as described here resolved the issue for me.
