No 'version' key in the manifest file for custom integration

[felixrohrbach]

Starting with 2021.3 custom integrations require a version key in their manifest file. Currently only a warning is shown, but in the future this will prevent the integration from being loaded.

See release notes 2021.3 (breaking changes) : https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/03/03/release-20213/

This issue has now caused the integration to stop working in HA

I tried adding the custom repository, then manually adding the version (as in #6), then restarting hass. I see the following in the log, however, I'm not able to see it in the "add integration" UI. Am I doing something wrong?

WARNING (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.loader] We found a custom integration linksys_velop which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant

User error: I had falsely assumed that it would be enabled in the integrations GUI. It worked once I added the following to my configuration.yaml (as mentioned in the readme).
