@toggledbits said in Home Assistant, ReferenceError: auth is not defined:

Looks like you are using the wrong kind of access token. The instructions specify that you have to use a long-lived access token, and these are usually very long on Hass. Yours is very short (at least, much shorter than the LLATs I've seen on my own system). Did you use a Long-Lived Access Token?

The lengts seems random I think.
I did 3 tokens, first one super long.
When it didn't work i created another one, in first post.
Now I created the third one, and this became super long, and it works.

No idea why, long-lived tokens is the only I can create...

Hi! My HA does not connect either. I get a "websocket error" over and over again. This is my reactor.yaml:

  - id: hass
    enabled: true
    implementation: HassController
    name: Home Assistant
    config:
      source: 'ws://192.168.50.167:8123'
      access_token: "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiI0ZDg4MzVjZmJkMjQ0ODYwODZhYzc1ZTExZDk2MGU1OSIsImlhdCI6MTYxNTczMzMyMSwiZXhwIjoxOTMxMDkzMzIxfQ.eMGyHpM"

In CMD it looks like this:

Make sure you have the websocket API enabled in your Hass configuration.

Home Assistant

Home Assistant WebSocket API

Instructions on how to setup the WebSocket API within Home Assistant.

Thanks. I stupid newbie question... I guess I should add this line to configuration.yaml:
websocket_api:

But what else?

[toggledbits]

That's all that's necessary. I also add the documented sensor lines so I can see how many connections are active, but it's not strictly necessary to functionality.

I'm afraid it doesn't work @toggledbits. Shouldn't there be anything after the ":", an IP-adress or something?

If you are referring to the "websocket-api:" line in your Home Assistant configuration, no, that line stands by itself. It needs to be properly formatted and placed in your HomeAssistant configuration file. Check your HomeAssistant log for any errors related to its configuration file.

Oh, and just to make sure I've asked, are you keeping up with the builds? Are you testing on the latest build?

[Fanan]

Ah - I didn't understand that I had to install the websocket_api. I thought it was enough to edit the configuration.yaml-file.
Now I'm going to figure out how to install...

[Fanan]

@toggledbits ; Just a stupid question, since I´m kind of new to this.... Do I have to install the websocket api? I have HACS installed and have tried to add it to the custom resporitories. I tried to add the URL:

core/homeassistant/components/websocket_api at dev · home-assistant/core

:house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. - home-assistant/core

and a few more URL as well... But I only get: "Repostitory structure for 2021.3.4 is not compliant", or something else if I try other URL:s.
I don't want to waste your time with these newbie questions, but after hours and days of failure, I´m becoming desperate... 🥴

I just installed Hass via docker, and all I needed to do was add that line to my Hass config and generate the Long-Lived Access Token and everything connected right up. I've never had a problem connecting to Hass, and I didn't have to install anything additional. This is what my configuration file looks like:

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

http:
  server_host: 0.0.0.0

websocket_api:

sensor:
  platform: websocket_api

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

@toggledbits. My HA installation is on a VM (VirtualBox) on Windows 10. That shouldn't be problem I guess?
