it's resolving for me now on both my home network and 5G

Are webhooks only available to cloud users? trying to use the withings integration

hallow seal
#

no, you can use webhooks as long as the sender can POST a message to your HA instance

#

hmm weird, it should be accessible with ssl. It's running behind cloudflare, could that be causing problems?

#

Hi!
Is there an option to use my own domain with HA Cloud?

hallow seal
#

Nope

tender glade
#

@hallow seal Maybe I point a CNAME on my domain to NabuCasa domain? I think I'd have to handle the certificate on my own?

next escarp
#

is the site down?

#

nvm, after like 5 refreshes it loaded

#

but it was giving me a 500 error 😉

Hi who can work on home assistance remote connection without using Nabucasa or VPN for enterprise.

#

hey. anyone know if Nabu is down ?

#

logged out from front end and weirdly could not relog. HA up to date / restarted, nabu ceredentials confirmed correct, etc

sharp jasper
#

@willow dome you don't log in to your frontend using mabucasa credentials

tender glade
#

@light bison BC I would have to deal with my dynamic IP

#

Isn't there a way to quickly access my public hostname without having to save that humongus URL somewhere?

#

there has to be

light bison
tender glade
#

Yes.

light bison
#

But also if you have dynamic IP, just run some sort of ddns on your network/ unsure if there’s anything for a HA add on that could even do it

#

Your router might even have the ability to

tender glade
#

But then I have to have my HA instance publicly available on the web

#

which does not happen with HA Cloud

#

Right?

light bison
#

All the same security rules should apply (aka 2FA, etc)

tender glade
#

I don't think that is the case. Nabu Casa is somehow tunelling the connection
BC my instance runs on an internal IP, on port 8123, and there's not port forward for that

#

so if someone on the web were to, i don't know, ddos that port
it would hit Nabu Casa first, and as customer, I'd expect them to filter that out

light bison
#

Yes as a proxy. You connect to nabu casa and they’re connecting to you. You are right

#

It still is your instance though

#

And if they try to attack the web server inside it’s you being hit

#

And chances are with a ddos nabu casa’s infrastructure is stronger than yours too

#

The login page is still your login page

tender glade
#

Would you have any details on how the proxying happens?
it has to be a connection that is initiated form my HA instance... otherwise they have no route to it...

light bison
#

As far as im aware it connects to your HA, and routes through them

#

Avoiding NAT & port forwarding

#

Though if you complain about the domain name, then hosting it directly is an option. The chance of being ddosed is rare, and making sure your login details are strong are the same for nabucasa or self hosted

tender glade
#

A strong password is not a problem... That part is safe.

#

If you are right, there's absolutely no reason to use HA cloud whatsoever...

#

what's the gain?

light bison
#

For people who don’t want to bother setting it up themselves or who don’t have a domain

#

Or who don’t have the ability to (some ISPs restrict behind NAT)

tender glade
#

Alright, thank you for the input

#

previous setup was VPN link between my HA instance and a DigitalOcean droplet

#

that would then proxy it with nginx

Hi
is there a way to access addons like node-red and Bitwarden etc.. through nabu casa ?

hallow seal
#

If they support Ingress, yes, through the HA interface. The addon will say if it does.

#

hi all, i have a nabucasa cloud and i was wondering if there was a way for my google home to read me the status of helpers?

for example i have a contact sensor on my mailbox. it notifies me when the mail arrives (open/close during a specific time, trigger a tts_say). but maybe i miss that tts and i would like to ask in some way "did the mail come?" is this possible or no

sharp jasper
#

@floral igloo this is not directly related to the cloud service but it depends...if it is an open/close binary sensor you would be able to ask "is the kitchen window open?" for example, using the name of the entity. I don't think you can ask "did the kitchen window open?" though

floral igloo
#

hmmmm okay thanks

toxic saddle
hallow seal
#

Probably because it doesn't support ingress

#

note the "Ingress" bubble:

What does Error: invalid client id or redirect uri mean when trying to access Home Assistant?

I have my HA instance set up with a static IP address I have from my ISP.

hi, can i connect 2 alexa accounts to my ha if i have cloud? interested in alexa's baby cry detection, but that echo is not on my own account

sharp jasper
#

@ruby sapphire you can only expose entities to one account

cursive fern
#

Hi, the Nabucasa Cloud is down? My homeassistant don't Connect

sharp jasper
#

@cursive fern it's your server you are connecting to. The service isn't down

cursive fern
#

i updated homeassistant to 2022.4.7 and now everything works. thank you👍

ruby sapphire
#

i was hoping to find an alexa skill to make an url post request to my home assistant from that second account but there is none 😮

shrewd minnow
#

Will NabuCasa ever make it possible to use the add-ons that need to serve on specific ports like Vaultwarden? I really like it and would like to stick to it since it's convenient, but it doesn't completely remove the negative-aspects of being behind a cgnat.

the free Tailscale already makes it possible to reach HA instance remotely, what my only benefit form NabuCasa is that HA also works with Google Home/Assistant

sharp jasper
#

@shrewd minnow it is not likely to become a service to use with any random server, no. The add-ons which support ingress can be reached through HA

shrewd minnow
sharp jasper
#

At that point it would become a service that you wouldn't need Home Assistant for. 🤷‍♂️

#

i'm sure it's here somewhere, but having some trouble finding it. "Just purchased Nabu Casa and it won't let me do the google integration, the link just takes me to a missing page"

sharp jasper

@kind spoke the link?

#

You should first open Google Home, and add nabu casa that way

That was my problem my order of operations wasn't correct! I appreicate it @sharp jasper

stiff sluice
#

is something off at nabu casa's end, i cant seem to access HA via them?

@stiff sluice you're connecting to your own server, so when there is an issue, it is usually there

@ devs is it possible to make the HA cloud login page's input boxes recognizable as password fields by iOS? I'm using a autogen strong password, it would be cool if I can use keychain rather than manually copy and paste my password over every time

i am relaly struggling getting Google to work with my cloud subscription , i mange to login via the home app but then iget something went worng ... on the ha side i get : Fetched https://remotestate.nabucasa.com/request_sync (500)

unlinking and relinking didn't work.

now i'm getting 2022-05-01 20:41:47 WARNING (MainThread) [hass_nabucasa.cloud_api] Fetched https://remotestate.nabucasa.com/request_sync (404)

sharp jasper
#

@iron bane you might try un-exposing everything (the "manage domains" link makes it easy to turn all off), then expose one simple entity like a light. Leave the page to trigger a sync of that one entity, then try connecting NabuCasa to Google Home app

iron bane
#

worked, do you know what could have been the issue ?

sharp jasper
#

Sometimes there's an entity Google doesn't like. Did you add them all back?

iron bane
#

not yet. 😄 just glad i got the sync back

#

now i'll do 1 by 1 by domain

sharp jasper
#

Yeah. One domain back at a time. You might pin down something causing a problem, or it could also be too many exposed at once

iron bane
#

ha it's a sensor. 😄

thank you i'll try to pin it down it's only 60 possible entities. 😄

#

currently using the alexa media player integration the one without nabucasa, do you also have to identify yourself every 2 weeks to amazon, when using nabucasa ?

sharp jasper
#

@bright shore the Nabu casa integration is not a replacement for the Alexa Media Player integration. They don't provide the same features

#

The Nabu Casa integration exposes your HA entities to Alexa.
The Alexa Media Player integration creates fake media players out of your Echoes so that they show up as such within HA.

#

But to answer your question no you don't have to sign in or re-authorize when using the nabu casa Alexa integration

bright shore
#

oh you are right mb

#

is there something that creates media players that doesnt have to reauthenticated every 7-10 days

sharp jasper
#

That's the only one I know of

#

It's somewhat of a hack, so...

#

You get what you get

I am having issues trying to remotely connect to my Hass via nabu casa link. I have the remote UI enabled, when I click the link it asks me to log in, but then it tells me it's unable to connect to home assistant and has a timer to retry.

tight loom
#

@summer siren Did you just start having problems with Nabu Casa, or are you just setting it up for the first time?

FWIW, my Nabu Casa has been setup and working for >1 year and some time when I updated to 2022.5.2 (from 2022.3.something) it stopped working. I haven't figured out a solution yet.

summer siren
#

First time setup.

tight loom
#

I just figured out my issue -- MBAM was blocking connections from Nabu Casa with no notification. I hadn't tested connections on anything except my PC, so I suspect if I'd tried this on my phone I wouldn't have encountered an issue.

#

It was only blocking connections when trying to connect to my remote instance and not to the actual Nabu Casa website. Kind of obfuscated the problem a bit

sharp jasper
#

@tight loom no notification? You weren't using the browser extension?

#

@summer siren a timer? got a screenshot?

tight loom
#

No notification from MBAM. I have web protection on, but no extension installed in Google Chrome for it. The MBAM logs show the Nabu Casa site is categorized as "RiskWare".

summer siren
sharp jasper
#

@tight loom I had seen the browser guard extension provide a big warning page yesterday and assumed that mbam would do something similar. I just reinstalled the chrome extension and it's not flagging it now 🤷‍♂️

#

oh no...I restarted chrome and now I get the timer

#

nevermind

#

@summer siren do you use malwarebytes?

summer siren
#

@sharp jasper no I don't

sharp jasper
#

And can you try your URL in a private/incognito tab

summer siren
#

@sharp jasper same results in an incognito tab

sharp jasper
#

What do you see on your System Health page?

#

And what date appears for the next charge when you go to Settings > Cloud?

@tight loom Malwarebytes says they will disable the block in their database

Wow, awesome. Thank you!

Hello

#

[hass_nabucasa.remote] Can't update remote details from Home Assistant cloud (timeout)

#

how can I get more information about this error

#

I have active subscription, ipv6 disabled, pi-hole disabled, started out of nowhere

#

sent a support request on website no response

sharp jasper
#

@uneven socket unless you were seeing "unable to reach Home Assistant cloud" you don't need to disable IPv6

uneven socket
#

After some deep dive I think it is related to my ISP but not sure how to proceed. i.e. what to ask to unblock etc. I can't ping the nsi API end point on my home network. But that itself looks like some kind of load balanced, gets resolved to different IP addresses from vastly different IP blocks each time. So this makes me think it is not related to my ISP but maybe home assistant API somehow banned my IP address?

@shy sundial make sure you are only exposing one entity for either of these HA instances

#

And are both of these using WiFi?

shy sundial
#

I only have one instance running (just tried it with two different configurations). Connected over LAN. Only one entity exposed. Thank you for the reply

shy sundial
#

It is really weird. I cannot connect Home Assistant but when I try through Google Home I do see two things change:
[1] temporarily see the Google Assistant part in the Home Assistant Cloud window look as if it is connected. When I click Sync Entities it reverts to Google Assistant is not Activated
[2] On the https://myaccount.google.com/accountlinking page, it appears as Linked

shy sundial

@shy sundial don't click sync entities. A sync happens automatically the first time you add HA to Google Home

hi, i cant get home assistant to recognize my email and there’s no way to contact them. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

There's normally staff around here too, so you should hopefully get a response from somebody who can help soon

keen kite
#

my user name is wlou3, however they want an email and the email i give them isn’t recognized. I’m afraid to log out of HA because i might not be able to get back in. I dont see my email stored anywhere in my profile, etc. really frustrating, sicne i wanted ti try the cloud app so i can control HA remotely.

kindred cove
#

The email address isn't used for logging in to HA itself, just the cloud service

I'll try the Nabu link above.

Signing up with Nabu worked. Thanks for the tip.

#

how can i change an invalid password on home assistant?

invalid current password. I need a valid one to change it

@keen kite it's case sensitive

#

i pasted the exact one in HA from my passward list and it was invalid.

sharp jasper
#

the user name

#

which is your email address

#

This is in reference to the nabu casa account. Not your HA login

shy sundial
sharp jasper
#

what entity are you exposing @shy sundial

shy sundial
#

Made specifically for testing this

sharp jasper
#

Hard to say then. If you can't add Sonos either it might be account related

#

Or you could try clearing data/cache for Google Home and set it up again

shy sundial
#

Already did that, I'm afraid. Described it in the (admittedly long 😉 ) post.

#

"I have unlinked, linked, cleared the cache of Google Home & Google app & Chrome, signed in and out of my Google account."

sharp jasper
#

And you still can't link official Sonos?

shy sundial
#

That is correct. I can link Spotify though

sharp jasper
#

can or can't

shy sundial
#

Can't link Sonos, can link Spotify

sharp jasper
#

oh can spotify, can't sonos

#

lol

#

gotcha

#

everything is on the same network?

shy sundial
#

Yes. A router behind a VPN

#

A router with a VPN behind a modem to be correct

#

I am able to access HASS from outside my network though, through the Nabu Casa link

sharp jasper
#

eh, VPNs can behave differently

keen kite
#

hi again, im trying to log into HA local from nabu casa remote access. Ive used the correct letter case Wlou3 username and the original password i set up, but it says invalid username or password. Any way to see or change that password?

shy sundial
#

I understand, but I tried it with my VPN turned off as well

#

It is really an odd issue

keen kite
#

there should be two different pw’s for HA and Nabu? Yes?

#

if I log out of HA without a valid password, how can i log back in?

#

@keen kite I have messaged you directly here in Discord

#

I found two conflicting answers to a question I am trying to figure out. I do not have nabu casa and i'm aware I can try the free period to test this but maybe someone knows for sure.

#

I am trying to connect two instances of HA together, however one is behind a 4g router and the duckdns route does not work because of the nat that's in place I guess, does naba casa work exactly the same way?

#

I found one post where tom suggested that it would work, and another where someone had trouble with getting it to work but never came back to verify if they did or did not get it to work. so not sure if mod tom was incorrect or the other person was just having issues with config

So if I subscribe to nabu casa for a year I pay 65$ while if I pay per month I pay 5$ anyone else wondering about the math here:)

light bison
opal tundra
light bison
sharp jasper
#

@opal tundra you're seeing $5 because you use PayPal

opal tundra
#

Im not following? What difference does that make?

sharp jasper
#

It's an opportunity to switch from PayPal to Stripe without incurring the price increase until the increase is rolled out for everyone (when annual plans are also available for everyone)

#

It's an awkward phase where you are also in a region where the annual plan is available

opal tundra
#

ah ok

sharp jasper
#

The way PayPal handles subscriptions, you need to cancel the subscription to switch to another payment method. New subscriptions start at the new price.

By August it should be the same for everyone, and everyone should see the 6.50 compared to the annual

Digging around but haven't found any good answers - NabuCasa TTS is not working on my Google Assistant devices, checked URLs, tried IPs instead of locally resolved hass.local etc, and it's giving me the error 'media source not loaded"
[140480578741920] Error handling message: Media Source not loaded (unknown_error) 2:50:04 PM – (ERROR) Home Assistant WebSocket API - message first occurred at 8:15:35 AM and shows up 12 times

#

HAS worked in the past, but as of maybe a month and a half ago, it gave up

#

I'm talking when I use tts.cloud_say - Text-to-Speech (TTS): Say an TTS message with cloud

#

so OK... it was media_source in configuration.yaml, but why oh why when I pay for nabucasa do I have to (now) add this manually to my YAML, and isn't the media source THE CLOUD?

sharp jasper
#

@velvet radish it would be this way for any TTS integration now that it is a media source. Using the cloud tts wouldn't change that.

Hi,

a few days ago several lights turned on in my home and the history states "Turned on by Home Assistant Cloud". I use Home assistant cloud with Google Home, so I checked my Google Assistant history but it does not have any entry at that time at all.

A longer technical explanation would be that we have been working on updates to allow for horizontal scaling of the service, which is a bit more complex than what we have been running so far, as we transition to being able to deploy regionally. Unfortunately today's deploy did not work out well for this, so a revert is in progress.

#

extremely annoying... and i know what i am talking about as a devops engineer! this SHOULD not be happening... so sorry if i can't be thankful for this issue 🙇

#

kubectl delete --all pods? 😅

gusty spire
#

Intergration even

#

The cloud intergation just makes some of it easier

ruby sapphire
#

yes i know it, but i thought if i subscribe to the service... i don't have to investigate in this dev.amazon shit too.

gusty spire
#

Why I'm using it currently

tight osprey
#

We do anticipate some upcoming maintenance, which we will be announcing farther in advance, and on more channels to avoid catching people by surprise.

gusty spire
#

Might look to go direct at some point.

tight osprey
#

@ruby sapphire Indeed, it's never great when a deploy doesn't work for unanticipated reasons. Scale-out architecture changes are one of the few deploys most likely to not work out right the first time in my experience, which... is unfortunately getting longer. heh

# tight osprey It would affect Alexa communication, yes.

Oh, that's a local problem.

split rivet
#

just was a coincidence that it happened at the same time as this cloud issue

#

Well, I am testing this service and my 30 days are going to expire, I experienced almost 2 service down in this month, have I to be worried in case of subscription? I am using Alexa a lot for my automations, my old Alexa skill using AWS never goes down in 2 years..

Hello, I installed HA on friends site, but they don't get private IP from their ISP. Will nabu-case work for remote access in this case - and is it a good solution ?

gusty spire
#

@gray lichen Not sure what you mean by private IP, do you mean a static IP? Nabu-case will work fine with a Dynamic IP. As long as nessesary out going traffic isn't blocked (Not actauly sure what that is but I would geuss Https on port 443), it should work fine.

gray lichen
#

Hello @gusty spire - yes i mean static IP. Thank for answer ! If I am correct, only https traffic will be allowed then, no chance of getting vpn add-on to work ?

gusty spire
#

@gray lichen Not sure what vpn add-on your are referring to. With out a static IP any thing that relies on traffic going out to the internet will be fine. Any thing that requires traffic inbound from the internet will not be possible unless you use a dynmic DNS service of some sort. With Nabu-case the HA server connects outboud to that service and then it handels the inbound traffic. I belive it only hanndels in comming https 443 traffic.

Folks, I am having problems with using the NabuCasa cloud tts announcements going through Google audios and Google Nest hubs. It plays fine using the demo in the browser, but if I pick a Google device for the tts target, I get a tone, but no announcement - the screen of the hub just hangs there saying "Playing Default Media Receiver".

#

I am running 2022.5.5, and this did work at one point, but not working now for some reason.

#

Is there something broken in the release or is there something wrong in my setup

paper gorge
#

nm. Figured this out - needed the Base_Url manually added to the configuration.yaml

visual helm
#

Hey i started a trail to see if the cloud service is wurth it but when i try to connect using the url given by the cloud service it says "This page can not be displayed" i opend the port on my router and configerd in home assistant to use the cloud but nothing

#

and when i setup a script using the cloud it says i need to set it up

#

but it's already setup

sharp jasper
#

@visual helm you don't need to open any ports

#

what do you mean by script using the cloud

visual helm
#

i'm trying to use " Google Cast: Show lovelance view"

sharp jasper
#

Can you reach your HA server using the URL?

visual helm
#

nope it still says "page can not be displayed"

sharp jasper
#

Is the remote control toggled on?

visual helm
#

Yes

#

Home Assistant Cloud is connected and up and running did a TTS check and that works

#

could it be because i have 2FA on ?

sharp jasper
#

No. You would see your login page, you log in, and then you'd get the 2FA prompt

visual helm
#

wel the TTS part works

#

Can you sign out using the 3 dots in the upper right corner of your cloud page and then sign in again

visual helm
#

oke sec

sharp jasper
#

Don't care about cast. It isn't cloud specific. You don't need cloud to use it.

#

Were you using any other remote access config before Nabu Casa that you have a configuration for

visual helm
#

oke logout/login compleet

visual helm
#

setup in my router/firewall/server to connect

#

that always worked fine

sharp jasper
#

Are your Home Assistant URLs set to automatic at Settings > System > Network in your UI? You need advanced mode enabled for the user to see those

visual helm
#

internet : home assistant cloud is active

#

wel the box is active

#

don't know how to say it in englisch sorry

sharp jasper
#

and the internal?

#

sorry...local

visual helm
#

also checked and set to automatic

sharp jasper
#

try setting those to manual. use https://your_long_nabucasa URL for internet and http://your_local_ip:8123 for local

#

Then restart HA

visual helm
#

okay give me a seccond

#

second *

#

restarting

#

okay up and running and it's alive

sharp jasper
#

ok check the remote control card again. Does it say "Your instance is available at..."?

visual helm
#

yes it does

sharp jasper
#

and still not working?

visual helm
#

Nabi casa url

#

nabu*

#

no no it came alive after restart 🙂

sharp jasper
#

ah ok

#

I thought you meant your server itself was alive. Not the remote

visual helm
#

sorry for the confusion 🙂

sharp jasper
#

np

#

So now you can try casting, tts, etc

visual helm
#

after restart it popt up without a problem

#

yeah already pressed the button now it says "unknow error" 🤯

#

probbably because i have 2FA active

#

that gives me a lot of .....

sharp jasper
#

hmm. shouldn't be an issue

#

You go to media in the panel, then choose a display from the lower right, then click dashboards, etc?

visual helm
#

service: cast.show_lovelace_view
data:
entity_id: media_player.slaapkamer
dashboard_path: https://<my url>.ui.nabu.casa/lovelace-alarm/0

#

is what i'm trying

sharp jasper
#

try through the UI first

#

easier way to test

visual helm
#

and how do i get the ui on my google nest ?

sharp jasper
#

No I mean in a browser on another device

visual helm
#

in browser the url works fine

sharp jasper
#

Go to "media" in the left side panel

visual helm
#

media check and then ?

sharp jasper
#

then in the lower right corner, make sure a media player which has a display is selected

visual helm
#

yes selected

sharp jasper
#

Then you should see "dashboards" as an option

visual helm
#

yes

#

i heared a ping

sharp jasper
#

click there, and then one of your dashboards

visual helm
#

let me check let me run to the bedroom

sharp jasper
#

yeah, you should hear the ping and then it should display

visual helm
#

yep

#

that works

sharp jasper
#

ok so it works. It must be your automation that is wrong?

#

brb

visual helm
#

wel here is what i did i i logd in with the external url clickt on the alarm tab copied the url and pased that in my automation

sharp jasper
# 
  media_content_id: kitchen-dash
  media_content_type: lovelace```
visual helm
#

i"m using the service google cast show lovelace view

#

or should i use a other option

sharp jasper
#

If you create an automation in the UI and the use "play media" as the action, then pick a display, then pick a dashboard, you can switch to yaml view and see the resulting yaml

visual helm
#

okay

#

i selected play media

#

i selected the one in the bedroom

#

the one with the screen

#

but how to i "play" a dashboard

#

don't see that option

sharp jasper
#

I've already chosen the "kitchen" dashboard here

visual helm
#

ah not the service

sharp jasper
#

but you should be able to select any dashboard

visual helm
#

but the action directly

sharp jasper
#

yes

visual helm
#

okay thought i had to call on a service

sharp jasper
#

it's media, so you're "playing" the dashboard media to a display

#

as opposed to a song from spotify, for example

visual helm
#

nope does not work

sharp jasper
#

It's the same as doing what you did earlier within the UI and starting with the media panel

#

so it should work

#

the same

visual helm
#

i hear a ping

#

sec let me check

#

yes it is there 🙂

#

but its realllllllly small

sharp jasper
#

can't help you there

#

you can adjust what you see in the dashboard I guess

#

use button cards or something else

visual helm
#

well thanks for your help 🙂 much apri 🙂

#

just one more question do

#

so i can only use this action if i have cloud active ?

sharp jasper
#

no

visual helm
#

then why did it promtet me to use the cloud 😐

sharp jasper
#

where?

visual helm
#

when i was making the action but hmmm i was using the wrong command i was calling on a service

sharp jasper
#

ah yeah

#

if you use the 3 dots in the upper right corner you can see all the yaml

visual helm
#

well i changed the view to single card

#

its a bit bigger now

#

but not much

sharp jasper
#

If you create a new dashboard which consists of nothing but what you would like to see, it will still be small. But you can use something like individual button cards (those tend to be large if they are not used in a horizontal/vertical card), or maybe some custom cards. That's more of a #frontend-archived topic

visual helm
#

thanks

sharp jasper
#

You can probably finagle something close to what you would like to see, it will take some experimenting

hi, I’m logged into homeassistant.local and can control my insteon devices, but the HA app doesnt connect. When i go to HA cloud the remote control does not show a tab. It reads “Control is being prepared. We will notify you when it’s ready.”

#

could use some help. Thanks

sharp jasper
#

@keen kite that needs to be ready before any remote access will work from any device

keen kite
#

yhe problem is that the remote control isnt “ready”

#

no toggle bar

#

my naby casa account isnt connected and i can’t connect it.

#

….nabu..

keen kite
#

Under HA cloud the following info:

#

Nabu casa acct isnt connected (worked before)

#

remote control says, “Remote control is being prepared. We will notify you when it’s ready.” It’s been saying this for two days now.

#

the HA apps are useless for me at this point.

sharp jasper
#

@keen kite Start with a reboot of your host at Settings > System > Hardware in your UI, then when it comes back, Check Settings > System > Logs

keen kite
#

sorry, what’s my host?

sharp jasper
#

Go to Settings > System > Hardware

#

You see a card for the host system

#

On the latest version of HA, you reboot from the 3 dots in the upper right corner

keen kite
#

on homeassistant.local?

sharp jasper
#

That's the only access you have, right?

keen kite
#

yes

#

ok, thanks, i’ll give it a shot

keen kite
#

it works now. Thanks

Why disable it?

#

You replied to the wrong person, but also by default nothing will do solely IPv6, they will still have IPv4 support too

light bison
#

A solely IPv6 internal network for the average consumer would be incredibly unlikely

brisk swift
#

I was going to try it but I was quick to realize how not convenient that would be as many devices would likely become legacy related at that point and I would have to tunnel it into the IPv6 Network.

#

At this stage there is no reason to go solely IPv6 unless security is your only motive and you are willing to deal with legacy device woes.

Alright, pôsted this in #integrations-archived already but the sent me here. I'm use home assistant with nabu casa cloud. And I'm trying to link it to google home. When I do that I get a message that the account is linked than after a while I also get a message that something went wrong.. And the intragation seems to have failed. I don't see anything in the logs. HJave searched internet , but so far havent found anything that helps...

cunning raft

Ok, I also sent a ticket via nabu case support and they suggested not exposing all devices, but only 1 by 1 , that worked!!

The Nabu Casa integration for Alexa has been very wonky for me here lately.
My 4th gen echo dot

  • "Room isn't responding please check it's network & power supply" But it will complete the action after thinking for 15 - 30 seconds

My 3rd gen echo dot is completely fine besides it being slow

My 2nd gen echo 5 thinks my switches are lights and turns on the lights instead of the switch (I haven't changed anything with my setup & double checked everything was named & setup correctly)
But it sometimes just won't complete a task

I know last week there was a test build that went out.
After that was reverted it's just been really unresponsive

gusty saffron
#

started seeing some of that as well lately, similar symptoms to the timeouts that were fixed by the relayer that was done in February, not saying its the same cause but same symptoms. not responding piece that is.

sharp jasper
#

ah there they go. Just took a while

Ah, that would not be related then, these congestion issues only occur around 7:30-9am PT.

Hello, I'm getting a Connection Closed: Closed by server. Error. Anyone know what might be causing this in Nabu Casa?

tight osprey
#

Yep, we have a redeploy which temporarily dropped the connections. They should be restored shortly.

median salmon
#

ahh okay

#

thanks for the info, is there a space to check these sort of things?

#

didn't find anything on twitter, and maybe I'm just ignorant here (likely the case)

tight osprey
#

At the moment, here, this was an urgent redeploy due to a traffic saturation issue (similar to a DDoS) so I didn't have time to get one of the folks on our team to tweet about it. In the future we do expect to announce these simultaneously on twitter/discord/status-page.

median salmon
#

cool! thanks for the info, you guys do great stuff

supple ocean
#

I'm getting an "Unable to connect: 504, message='Invalid response status', url=URL('wss://cloud.nabucasa.com/websocket')" - is this due to the redeploy issue or is it on my side?

median salmon
#

I'm seeing that now as well

#

and I was getting an error before that was said was part of the redeploy

#

so I'm guessing it's related

supple ocean
#

Ok great. Glad it's not only me

tight osprey
#

Yep, waiting for the load-balancer to swap to the redeployed service now.

#

I think switching to a faster deploy system is also going on our to-do list. This is abysmally slow, sorry all for the delay on the redeploy.

#

Unable to connect: 404, message='Invalid response status', url=URL('wss://cloud.nabucasa.com/websocket')

#

Ok, looks like the load-balancer finally swapped the new service in, connections are being restored.

ruby sapphire
#

confirm , status are now "connected" 👍

tight osprey
#

We don't expect any further redeploys to handle traffic congestion as this redeploy appears to be handling it correctly now.

I can also confirm it works. Great job team

@raven oracle You choose which Home Assistant instance is associated with your Nabu Casa account. That isn't determined by the cloud service.

#

The account does not get "stuck" on one HA server.

#

You sign in on the cloud card, and it is linked. You sign out of the cloud (using the 3 dots in the upper right corner) and it is unlinked.

raven oracle
raven oracle
sharp jasper
#

Your HA servers do not care about what Nabu Casa account you have.

#

You should be signing in on your HA server with the user/password you created when you set it up.

#

Not your Nabu Casa account

raven oracle
#

I'm already logged into my home assistant

sharp jasper
#

ok

#

So what do you see when you sign in to Home Assistant Cloud with your Nabu Casa account

raven oracle
#

the issue is with the communication to the cloud servers, that's where I get the 503 connection errors because of timeouts

#

hold on will create a screenrecording

#

Hi, I was helpfully redirected from #general-archived with my issue, hopefully someone could point me in the right way.

#

I'm really eager to integrate my HA with my Google Assistant, after messing around with the DIY way and having to deal with my Google Cloud Platform setup being intermittent, I figured I'd rather pay for "HA cloud".
After setting everything up inside Nabu Casa with payment/login related info, I'm having trouble with adding the Google Home integration.

It just seems to time out without an error message, here's one of my numerous attempts: https://youtu.be/8xTYJppJmMw

Hardware: Ubuntu Linux bare metal pyvenv instance runninga HA, port 8123 forwarded, Google pixel 6 phone as client.

What have I tried: Rebooting my phone numerous times and using LTE, to avoid my possibly restrictive home network from "poisoning" the DNS cache.

I'm a sysadmin by trade, so I'd be happy to do some in-depth troubleshooting, I've just no idea what to test my connectivity to.

sharp jasper
#

@neat breach you don't need ports forwarded for the NC cloud services.

First check that your Home Assistant URLs at Settings > System > network are as expected or set to automatic. You need adv mode enabled for your user to see those.

Then go to the "manage entites" page for Google Assistant and use the "manage domain" link in the upper right to set everything to off (not exposed).

Then pick one entity from your page and expose it manually. Pick something relatively standard. A light for example. No diy or manual yaml entities.

Then try linking HA to GH again.

#

If that works, go back and expose one domain at a time, letting it sync, then confirming in the GH app each time

#

You don't need to click "sync devices". A sync will be triggered whenever you change which entites are exposed.

neat breach
neat breach
#

@sharp jasper Thanks again! I managed to get it working by exposing just a few entities at first. Apparently ~200 was too much for it to parse during the pairing phase. And a good tip about forwarding port 8123, I can reduce my attack surface and still access HA remotely now.

sharp jasper
#

@neat breach good to hear!

tiny wing
#

Can someone help me, please. I'm trying to remember what transpired when I set up Nabu Casa Remote Access. I seem to remember I had Let's Encrypt and DuckDNS already Added, but realized that Nabu Casa takes care of what I needed, so removed them before setting up Nabu Casa. I have DuckDNS Added, and it is working per the logs, but the subdomain and token in the Configuration I can't find in any account I have with DuckDNS. Was this done behind the scenes when I activated Nabu Casa initially? Is that why I can't find the domain under my other accounts? My remote access is working fine.

#

Also, there is some Let's Encrypt configuration in the Duck DNS configuration screen, but I don't have Let's Encrypt installed. Is that configuration placeholder?

sharp jasper
#

@tiny wing you go to duckdns to find your duckdns domain, and that is what you enter in the addon config. It sounds like you are trying the reverse?

#

And why?

tiny wing
#

That's what I mean. I log into DuckDNS with the only OAuth account I have with it, and the URL used by DuckDNS in HA is not listed as one of my domains on my DuckDNS account. So, I figured that HA must have created it as I signed up for Nabu Casa. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

sharp jasper
#

@tiny wing HA does not create duckdns domains

#

The addon does not create domains either

#

What do you want? You're trying to go back to using a DuckDNS domain? If so create one, and enter the information in the add-on config. The add-on already takes care of LE for you when you set "accept terms" to true

tiny wing
#

The DuckDNS AddOn Config lists a domain and token that doesn't appear in my DuckDNS account, and I don't know why? I use my GitHub OAuth to access DuckDNS.org. I thought maybe it was created by the Nabu Casa Integration when I set it up using an internal account (I assume like it does for Let's Encrypt, which I understand it uses, but which I don't have installed on my instance). Just a little confused about who's doing what here, and trying to sort it out.

tiny wing
#

Am I right in believing that Cloud Integration requires neither DuckDNS nor Let's Encrypt to be installed on the HA installation to work?

hallow seal
#

That's correct

wooden umbra
#

Long time wonder: how come an area is activated in GA even when not explicitly configured in cloud: ? (Nabu Casa)

#

“Turn off library” turns off all entities in that area… could be a nice feature but only if explicitly configured

sick lake
#

EDIT: I found on discord search that its not supported on Alexa 😦

Hey guys hoping this is the right spot. On Nabua Casa and trying to test and call tts.cloud_say, when i test it through my Echo's I get a default message saying to use Notify.alexa. I wanted to use the cloud version because it sounds better and i can switch the language. Anyone else getting that ?

sharp jasper
#

@wooden umbra areas are pulled into GA as rooms

wooden umbra
#

Yeah I figured as much, but they are automatically ’enabled’ ? Asking because it complicates naming entities 😉

sharp jasper
#

How does it complicate naming?

#

I never include the area/room name in an entity's name

wooden umbra
#

yeah, I have those indeed, freezer_kitchen, lamp_library etc etc. with over 60 lights it gets hard to not do that... thats what I meant with complicate. It would be nice if we could toggle that support for Areas/Rooms. just like the entities filter. Got to remember that eg Hue also creates rooms/zones, and with all of these namings, it's practically impossible to discern which is what. So not defaulting to include all Areas would be really important

sharp jasper
#

I think the default should be to include the area as a room, as there's one place to manage things. So, if you have a freezer in the kitchen (I assume that's a switch?) then why not switch.freezer which is in the kitchen area/room?

wooden umbra
#

because I also have one in the garage... HA shouldnt assume too much really. Sometime I get the feeling it isn't very well thought out for larger homes... I mean we all have more than one floor stander light. What manes should we give them other than the room they are in? Or shutters, I believe we all name them with the name of the room they belong to?

#

most of all, at least allow filtering on those Areas too, so we can make explicit what to include and what not.

sharp jasper
#

@wooden umbra I guess I don't follow how this changes what Google does. A light is a light, so "light" or "lamp" isn't needed in the name. It's in a room, or it isn't, so the room isn't needed in the name.

wooden umbra
#

Ok, so let me give this real life case as example: one has 4 studies with desks and all have a desk light, a standing light next to that desk and a lounge chair standing light. How on earth should I call those to have the system identify them individually, considering there also are 2 switches in each room, 1 next to the desk and one next to the lounge chair….

#

If I shouldn’t use the room nor the device in that name and I need to be able to turn them on/off individually

tight osprey
#

Perhaps this similar example could help. I have a master bedroom with 4 Hue lights in it, they're assigned to the Master Bedroom area. The two lights next to the bed are named Left Stand and Right Stand (based on looking at the bed), while the 2 lights farther away are named Left/Right floor (cause they're floor standing). If I want to turn just mine on, I can ask to turn on the right stand light in the master bedroom.

#

Google seems to interpret the names fuzzy enough that I can also ask to turn on the floor lights in the master bedroom, and it turns them both on.

#

If you have a study with desk lights, you will need to name the desks in some manner that is meaningful. Perhaps assign them numbers, etc.

wooden umbra
#

thx. and that is exactly what I was trying to avoid, having to give them numbers, because that is so meaningless. complicating factor is that I have my Hue and tradfri (and Somfy) devices linked directly to Google, and not via HA. Hoping to only call scripts in Cloud, and some template entities created in HA obviously.

But, this digresses. The main thing is Cloud manages Areas by default and the user has no choice.The naming of the devices is much less of an issue probably. trying to follow humane thinking in this as much as possible. There's not much difference between 'light.bookcabinet_marius' and 'Book cabinet in Study Marius' 😉 except the latter is only useful in GH, while the former is also clear inHA without anything further

ever since turning to cloud tts, I now notice the /tts folder in the root has acquired almost 2000 mp3 files..... seems not really useful as all messages are unique and built at the moment of firing? can we not Not use hard disk writing anymore?

#

cache_false, like we could in the google_translate era:```
tts:

  • platform: google_translate
    service_name: google_say
    base_url: !secret base_url
    cache: false```
steady kraken
#

Thanks for the reminder. I clear out these when I remember. No idea why they can't be cleared up after use. There's no reason to retain them.

wooden umbra
#

as a matter of fact, Ive managed to set the cache: false by using:```
tts:

  • platform: google_translate
    cache: false``` and since that is a global setting used for all tts platforms, it also is used for cloud. So no more mp3 files in the /tts folder now. Still this is really odd ofcourse, not being able to set this on the Nabucasa cloud TTS, hence: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/73453

Hello, Got an odd issue with Google Assistant/Home, When using Tuya devices that are RGB with CW/WW/W i can change the shades of white but the moment i tell it to do anything in the RGB range, it will just change the shade of the white, it won't go into RGB mode unless i go into the Smart Life app set it to something that isn't white, then i can have Google change it to anything RGB but the moment i go back to white, it won't be able to go back to RGB colors.
It works fine if i do it from the dashboard in HA, it works with Alexa but not Google.
Anyone have any ideas how i can fix this? I've considered making another HA install to see if it does it on another install. But that is a LOT of starting over again.

Is there any way to connect the websocket API to your nabu casa cloud URL?

I have a custom panel that relies on the websocket API that works great with ws://homeassistant.local:8123/api/websocket

When it's accessed from http://homeassistant.local:8123/my-panel or localhost:3000 (note I do have http cors settings set:)

http:
  cors_allowed_origins:
    - http://localhost:3000

However, I just subscribed to nabu casa, and got my custom URL like: MY_CODE.ui.nabu.casa

And I tried to access it like this: ws://MY_CODE.ui.nabu.casa:8123/api/websocket but I just get a "status pending" on my websocket connection?

How can I connect to a websocket connection of the public URL? rather than the local one.

tranquil peak
#

@solid latch would be best, pretty sure that logic got rewritten since I last looked at it

tight osprey
solid latch
#

you must send the access token in the websocket connection before you can use it. the frontend talks to the app to get the app's access token. no idea if other things in the frontend or in custom panels can do that.

the frontend chooses what url to open for its websocket, presumably it is

Update on my experimentation to get Google Assistant working. I moved from Smart Life to the Tuya Smart app, I know no difference, made a new project in Tuya's IoT Developer console, setup the entire thing from scratch there, but still the same issue, If i tell google to make the bulbs white, then try go to go a color, it won't switch to the color, just change the shade of white.
If i do the exact same thing with Alexa, it works fine.
I decided to bypass Home Assistant and added Tuya Smart directly to Google Assistant and Google talking to the bulbs directly through Tuya worked fine..... idk what else to try, I'm setting up a secondary test install of Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi to see if it's the install or not.

#

Also, the scenes, have never came through on Tuya devices.

ocean timber
#

test with a fresh install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Same thing.

#

I sorta resolved the issue by going around the issue, setup LocalTuya.

@ocean timber so the Tuya integration vs the Local Tuya custom integration?

Yeah, all that was using the official Tuya Intergration

Hi, I've got a device_type shutter entity. However I want to expose that to Google Home as type blind.

I do not want it as a blind inside HA. Is there any way to change the device type for GHome ? I found posts mentioning google_assistant_type: online, but that does not work for me.

#

Also Device_Type Door works as Door, but Device_Type Window is shown as Sensor inside GHome

Hello everyone

I hit my first wall today. my installation on a nUC went very well, installed duckdns and nginx all work like a charm. add mqtt for my zigbee, add a sensor and create my first automation : i was in paradise.

So i try to have my google home speaker tell me the sensor got activated. I try to install whitout nabucasa, fail with a 400 code error from google. still cannot understand why. So i join nabucasa, everyting seem ok, but my google speaker do not show as entities.

That where im stuck at. I cannot find the way to add my speaker as entities, but my google home apps see everything from home assistant.

Any idea would be welcome!

I'm having a heck of a time configuring Google Assistant through Home Assistant Cloud. I have the Cloud account setup, and I can access the UI remotely using the provided public URL. I have the Google Assistant options enabled in the hass config. However, every time I attempt to configure Google Home via the 'works with google' extension from Google Home, it walks me through the steps, allows me to authenticate, asks me to "Allow Access", but then just comes back with: "Could not reach Home Assistant Cloud by Nabu Casa. Please Try again". Getting same response over last several days. Have no issues with any other 3rd party integrations. Any idea what could be the cause?

sharp jasper
#

@feral condor try limiting what you are exposing in the "manage entities" page

#

Use the manage domains link in the upper right corner, set everything off, and then expose one light and leave the page. Then try connecting HA to GH.

@ruby sapphire the instance is your server. What do you see in the logs?

I also have problems with everything cloud related. E.g. the weather integration is not working.

I cant post screenshots here but system healths shows me:

#

I see here that like 5 people asked if the cloud service is having problems. So it seems to have problems?!

The weird thing is that everything is working when connected to an oldschool ethernet cable but not to wifi. With wifi connection I checked it has internet access by using curl in the terminal addon

tight osprey
sharp jasper
#

@teal locust your network issues affect all integrations which need to reach beyond your local network. Nabu Casa cloud would only be one more.

#

And everyone comes into this channel asking if Nabu casa is having problems because that's their first instinct. It's wrong almost all of the time. The majority of issues begin with the user's server or their network

Are you able to sign out and back in to the cloud service without seeing any error?

connection details ? gateway is my router and the ip is a static ip within my lan

i solved it by myself

i deleted the ".cloud" folder, rebooted and now it's working again.

would be nice to have a button inside home assistant to reset the cloud

But the same can happen when deleting the directory repeatedly, of course

Something would have to guard against that

I just got the "Annual subscriptions for Home Assistant Cloud" email too and I am a bit puzzled by it. Paulus mentions that because I am in EU, they need to add VAT to the price.

calm forge
# vast niche I just got the "Annual subscriptions for Home Assistant Cloud" email too and I a...

That was in the email on January as we announced the increase: The price of the monthly plan for new subscribers will increase to $6.50 per month starting today (February 1, 2022). This is our first price increase since we launched Home Assistant Cloud more than three years ago. The price increase will be used to cover inflation and further building out Home Assistant, ESPHome and the open home. Any accounts subscribed prior to February 1 will not be affected by the price increase for 3 months.

Btw I am OK with the price increase if it's needed for the team to continue improving HA. It's a great product! It's just the last email is confusing and should be better communicated IMHO.

I am using Nabu Casa for remote access, which works fine. But when I am at home and connected with my wifi, it still uses the internet connection and is ignoring the internal url. This happens even when my internet is down - I can't access home assistant anymore though sitting in my living room . Using a webbrowser I can access HA using the internal url. The setting in my app always shows Remote UI Url as connection.
As it is also slower using Nabu Casa than access directly, I want it to use the internal url when connected to my wifi. I reinstalled the app on the iPad and iPhone, same result. Any ideas please?

@thorn raft does your Nabu Casa URL work for accessing HA?

#

Can you share more information about these custom apps?

thorn raft
#

Yes - I can access everything using the Nabu Casa URL

#

Basically convienience things - like "tell the house gary is going to bed" - and it runs a script to turn on bedroom lights, turn off TV's etc. With "the house" being the trigger word for the Alexa skill.

sharp jasper
#

Is there an advantage to that compared to "Alexa I'm going to bed" and having that trigger an HA script or do these things directly?

thorn raft
#

It provides additional logic and feedback directly to the command. In my earlier example, it does different things based on who is going to bed. If "Jordyn" or "Brandon" are going to bed it does different things.

Another custom Alexa app allows me to control my zwave thermostat (change from heat to cool / set temperatures, check status etc).

I installed a new router to replace my old one and have everything fired up and running. My only issue now is that I cannot get HA to access the HA cloud. It sets on a Pi connected directly to the router via an ethernet cable. I have good access to it when on the local network, but when I try to connect nabucasa it spins and times out with "unknown error" or "unable to reach home assistant cloud."

Can anyone offer any ideas or support on this one to help me diagnose? Networking is my weakest area in my already limited knowledge.

I appreciate you are replying to Tannis, but as im getting the same issue. I was getting 403 Forbidden. now i just get connection failed. In the app i get failed to perform SSL handshake. Works fine locally, certificate is trusted and has a month or so left on it.

403 forbidden is usually IP banning

#

You fixed that?

jolly marsh
#

Didnt do anything, that just stopped saying that

sharp jasper
#

Check for ip_bans.yaml file in your config directory

jolly marsh
#

Will check that later, not at home atm. Have tried it from multiple IPs though, or could the ip ban ban the cloud?

sharp jasper
#

The apps always complain about SSL. It's technically true because there's no connection, so no valid ssl

#

To really check the cert you do as you have done, or see if a browser complains about valid ssl

jolly marsh
#

Yeah the browser is happy, but i checked the date on the cert (usually when i have a problem, my letsencrypt bot just didnt renew)

sharp jasper
#

Yes you need to be careful with IP banning and the cloud, because you end up banning it all

#

I just use MFA and no IP banning config

wooden umbra

could it be that having this in the config:```
tts:

only used to set cache: false on Cloud tts

  • platform: google_translate

service_name: google_say

base_url: !secret base_url # == external_url

cache: false``` would cause 127.0.0.1 invalid login attempts? I mean, bwefore we needed to set the external url on this, but, since I dont use it at all, I havent set that

in retrospect, the login errors might have started to occur from the moment I added this setting

maybe this is more of a docker/traefik question than anything else, but is my home assistant secure from outside the network if i get the lock in the web browser url bar?

hallow seal
#

it's more of a very generic web page question

#

that means that you're accessing your HA instance via SSL, which should be a prerequisite to exposing it to the outside world. Beyond that, you need a strong password, multi-factor authentication

ok nice, i mean i sort of don't know what im doing, im not a network pro by any means. strong password on the login makes sense, but is there a way within HA to do multifactor?

noticing a reproduceable behavior in Amazon connection. I have a switch, the switch is in the cloud and works in Amazon. Then I create a helper to change the switch to a fan (it creates a new 'device'). The ORIGINAL switch will go missing in Amazon even after synching entities and it still shows exposed but after you add the helper for the device, Amazon loses the original despite the cloud settings say it's exposed. Removing and immediately re-adding it to Amazon will make it appear again in Amazon. Do I need to report this as a bug? I feel like if adding a helper somehow removes the original in amazon while still showing it exposed is a bug. It happened on multiple devices is the only way I noticed.

sharp jasper
#

@strange bronze you want to expose both the original and the altered entity?

#

Shouldn't you only choose to expose the fan?

strange bronze
#

I had no need to expose another entity to Alexa. I only added the helper to help with another automation that only works with fan type devices. Alexa was just the passthru for the original device which all of them broke when I did this

#

Its like the connection gets confused when you add another device of same name just with fan. at the beginning and removes it from the app

sharp jasper
#

The original switch gets hidden

#

So I'm not sure what to expect when exposing it

#

I don't think changing the entity type just for an automation was something that was considered, but I may be wrong

You normally change the type because you want that type to behave like a light, fan, etc, so that when it is exposed, you can now say "turn off all the lights/fans"

I didn't realize the original was the one that was hidden. In that case, it makes sense. Let me look at something

#

yep, I confirmed that's exactly what's going on and that makes sense. Thank you

Hi, all! I have an issue regarding Home Assistant Cloud/Nabu Casa, namely migrating to the new annual subscription option; basically, I see no available option to do so.

Am I missing something?

@near lagoon, would greatly appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

That guy responding now... is going to be your man 😄

sharp jasper
#

Where in the world are you?

#

It will be available in August for EU, UK, and CA

#

@ruby sapphire

#

If you aren't in those areas then you should see it and it's possible that your location is not correct in the system

ruby sapphire
#

@sharp jasper I'm in Portugal: found it weird that the EU plans have been announced, PayPal has notified me of a price change, but no clear path available in the Nabu Casa portal.

sharp jasper
#

PayPal notifies you of an upcoming change

#

Not an immediately available change

#

You also should have received an email July 1st

ruby sapphire
#

@sharp jasper Yeah, did not get that e-mail on July 1st (I've triple-checked), so the PayPal notification caught me kind of off-guard.

sharp jasper
#

Notifying people ahead of time is normal

#

The email would have been addressed from Paulus at Nabu casa. Spam?

ruby sapphire
#

@sharp jasper Didn't find the e-mail anywhere, Spam included. But no worries; I'm clear on the issue now.

sharp jasper
#

Anyway, starting in August, you'll have annual option, local currency option

ruby sapphire
#

Thanks for the heal @sharp jasper @near lagoon 😉

Didn't do anything 😬 But you are welcome 😄

after a automated update to windows 11 I can no longer access dashboard with my cloud url. Everything in the VM window looks right at startup. What should I be looking at to get back online?

cant connect to ha via nabu casa ... anyone else have this issue

thanks i guess thats all i can do . last thing i remember doing was updating the config.yaml file and attempted to restart ....

#

i am a newbie, i guess also i will need to take a vdu, keyboard and mouse with me ..... i use a pie 4 and the setup is for my mother who has memory problems at home 😦 still got the Alexa app going so can run routines and cameras

My manual Alexa integration started giving me troubles and I figured it was finally time to support the project so I signed up for Nabu Casa. Set up went super smooth and I had ALMOST all of my devices working with Alexa again in about five minutes.

I'm here to ask about the one that is not working. This device is a helper switch that controls my DIY garage door opener. I cannot seem to get this device to be recognized with the NC integration. Can someone tell me if helpers are unsupported or how I might go about getting access to this device. WAF is low as she uses this voice command daily. Heaven forbid she have to actual push the button to open/close! haha

Thought I was clever by adding a dashboard in HA with a panel iframe to an internally hosted page, so that I can access it externally.
Works great using HA locally, but when connecting externally (using cloudflared) I'm met with:
Unable to load iframes pointing at websites using http: if Home Assistant is served over https

Error makes sense - just wondering if there's an achievable way to get around this when the local page doesn't have an option for SSL?

Reverse proxy might be able to serve it as HTTPS for you

quick atlas
#

That would be using the NGINX add-on would it? I'm going to be out of my depth here I can tell!

light bison
#

Well depends how you want to do a reverse proxy. It’s up to you. Also depends what else you’re running at home

quick atlas
#

Rather than ask for a walkthrough, let me do some digging and research. Thank you.
Lookign like NGINX needs MariaDB which I found introduced instability on my 3B+ with SSD. I'll keep researching.

spooky

#

then take a look at nginxproxymanager

quick atlas
#

Thanks, have been reading that documentation. Looks like it fits the bill but I will need to go back to MariaDB as it's required.

#

I was getting 3 or 4 HA crashes a day when I last switched to MariaDB. not sure why, but it stopped as soon as I switched back.

languid granite
#

definitely shouldnt be but you gotta start looking at logs to see what's going on

quick atlas
#

Suspect my pi 3B+ is reaching it's limits!

languid granite
#

ya pi4 with ssd boot is pretty much the lowest i'll go

#

pretty sure mariadb should be faster than the built in sqlite or w/e they use

quick atlas
#

Yeah, I have SSD in the the 3+. Have a HA yellow on order so just making do until then

#

That's what I've read too

languid granite
#

fyi if you ordered the cm4 from crowdsupply you might want to check the expected date

#

my yellow shows end of july and cm4 shows end of december lol

quick atlas
#

I was at end of decemeber - I only discovered HA 6 weeks ago so I'm at the back of the queue.

languid granite
#

sucks to suck

#

😛

quick atlas
#

ha, I'll live. Plenty of automations to keep me entertained until I run out of scope with my hardware

languid granite
quick atlas
#

I've seen some have success with that. TBH the 3B+ is going OK once booted, it's just a little slow getting there.

#

I just don't use it for media or camera streaming etc.

languid granite
#

they made improvements last release to make haos run even faster on old hardware i think

quick atlas
#

Yeah, that might have coincided with my crashes stopping too. MariaDB might have been unrelated.

#

I'll take a look at it - I think if it were causing issues then it would be pretty widely known

languid granite
#

just do a full backup and download it off of the pi so if anything goes wrong you can restore back to now

quick atlas
#

100% - so easy

#

Thanks - think that add-on is the way

languid granite
#

btw if you need a quick upgrade or w/e you might want to look into used thin clients on ebay etc

quick atlas

#

for like $30 you can get a machine way better than a pi4 with emmc storage and all

No problem. I listen for pings on this channel to help with Nabu casa cloud issues so I've been hearing more than usual 😄
