Refer to Home Assistant’s API documentation for more information about the service.

​
Using API access token

To configure this credential, you’ll need to Install Home Assistant, create a Home Assistant account, and have:

  • Your Host
  • The Port
  • A Long-Lived Access Token

To generate an access token and set up the credential:

  1. To generate your Access Token, log in to Home Assistant and open your User profile.
  2. In the Long-Lived Access Tokens section, generate a new token.
  3. Copy this token and enter it as your Access Token.
  4. Enter the URL or IP address of your Home Assistant Host, without the http:// or https:// protocol, for example your.awesome.home.
  5. For the Port, enter the appropriate port:
    • If you’ve made no port changes and access Home Assistant at http://, keep the default of 8123.
    • If you’ve made no port changes and access Home Assistant at https://, enter 443.
    • If you’ve configured Home Assistant to use a specific port, enter that port.
  6. If you’ve enabled SSL in Home Assistant in the config.yml map key, turn on the SSL toggle. If you’re not sure, it’s best to turn this setting on if you access your home assistant UI using https:// instead of http://.
