Why did you decide to follow a 7 year old forum post instead of the official documentation?

@KristjanESPERANTO the bane of the internet, old info never dies

no one ever reads the doc

when i first looked all this up on how to do this, the old one was the only thing that came up for me?

@sdetweil thank you for the help! it is actually displaying something now. now I can work on getting home assistant installed and anything else i can think of. thank you again for the quick responses and help.
