[NestCam]Failed to request access token. Unexpected API Error - 405

[cbeale]

Hi -

Having an issue with NestCam, trying to add it to my existing homebridge setup.

Homebridge starts up and then I get

"[NestCam]Failed to request access token. Unexpected API Error - 405"

I added it as shown in the guide.

Is this known? I saw one person comment about it but no resolution was given.

Thanks

I had to reboot my Homebridge 20 mins ago and am now getting the same thing. Maybe a Nest issue?

Hi there, having the same issue. Also can't add cameras as accessories in home app.

Novice user here (just started today) but thankful for help.

[iandronowicz]

Worked like charm for more than 5 months, stopped working since yesterday. Restarted homebridge a couple of times but no luck: I think it has something to do with the plugin authentication with near. Something must have changed in the API.

Glad I jumped on here before I started tinkering, same issue here

[morilm]

HI

Same error here

[NestCam]Failed to request access token. Unexpected API Error - 405

[KhaosT]

The API probably changed recently. I can take a look this weekend.

[coxfrederic]

My camera's stopped updating, I'm not getting any errors but I can only assume it is a general issue, thanks @KhaosT for taking a look at it.

[landocarlesien]

I have the same error

[PiLLoX]

Same issue here !

[NajibNour]

Same here!!

[OscarGorog]

Hey KhaosT,

Having the same issue... When will this be fixed? (when is your weekend) as I love this and would love to keep using it!

Thanks in advance.

[malonecentral]

Same

[Rens93]

Same here, also tried to delete and add new cameras but now I even can’t add my cameras again :(

[QandnotU]

Same. Glad I came here before I started dismantling Homebridge in the quest to fix. Don't remove the cam as a possible fix, you won't be able to add it back until this gets resolved.

[KhaosT]

Hi, I have created v0.0.12 to fix the issue. Please check the readme and make change to your config accordingly.

[cbeale]

thanks.

im getting

"{"url":"/session","message":"400 Bad Request"}curl: (6) Could not resolve host:" from the curl command however

[KhaosT]

did you copy the whole thing correctly?

[cbeale]

nm. it worked to get token on the pi. was getting that error on macos.

[harryohalloran]

How do I handle a password to generate the token if I have an “!” in my password? Looks like it’s not working correctly due to the character.

[KhaosT]

I tried with ! and it's working for me... if not, try use %21 in place where it suppose to be !

[cbeale]

I got it added to homebridge and it added the camera as a motion sensor. How can I add it so it shows up with other cameras and displays the video?

Thanks so much for your work!

[KhaosT]

@cbeale if you go to Home app, add new accessory, the camera should show up?

[OscarGorog]

Where did you put the "!" mark?

[harryohalloran]

Strange, after I enter the email and pass with the ! in the pass, here is what I get:

 --data-urlencode “password=passwordpriortotheexclamationpointhomebridge -Ipasswordaftertheexclamationpoint"

{"error":"access_denied","error_description":"invalid user credentials","instance_id":"a97454fe-5a72-43e6-871d-2a874cd94ec6"}

[OscarGorog]

where do you put the "!" mark???

[KhaosT]

@harryohalloran I'm confused, where is that -l coming from? the full command should be something like curl -X "POST" "https://home.nest.com/session" -H 'User-Agent: iPhone iPhone OS 11.0 Dropcam/5.14.0 com.nestlabs.jasper.release Darwin' -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' --data-urlencode "email=a@b.com" --data-urlencode "password=blabla!!!!123"

[OscarGorog]

where do you put the "!" mark??? I can see if it works

[NajibNour]

Works like a charm no issues with (0.0.12 update)

Thank you !!!

[cbeale]

@KhaosT I removed the bridge from my phone and re added it. All 13 accessories connected to the homebridge added/configured themselves and the camera only adds itself as a motion detector and not as a camera.

[KhaosT]

@cbeale if it's configured properly, you should see a separate camera accessory in there. If it's not showing up for you, please open a separate issue so we don't spam everyone else in the thread.

[harryohalloran]

All good, looks like a specific combination of characters I had in my password was causing the issue. Changed the password and got it working correctly.

[black01gt]

Thanks everything works great now.

I did notice in the output it stated expires in Jan 15 right after the token. guess ill have to get a new token then?

"expires_in":"Tue, 15-Jan-2019 03:39:52

[KhaosT]

@black01gt Huh this is interesting... I'm not seeing the expires_in for access_token for account with 2FA enabled, and I'm not exactly sure if there is a way to refresh access token automatically... Please report back if this stop working after the expiration date.

[black01gt]

I don't have 2FA enabled. Should I enable it and get a new token?

[KhaosT]

If you hate manually refresh token every month, maybe give that a try?

[black01gt]

Thanks again. all set.

[iandronowicz]

I cannot get the token with 2fa enabled: I get {"status":"INVALID_INFO"}

[iandronowicz]

Never mind: it was character error, I was copying and pasting the code in Notes, and it changed the " char to another thing... I got the access token now, but Homebridge crashes and says:

ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-nest-cam: [12/16/2018, 1:50:21 AM] Error: Cannot find module './Hello.js'

[iandronowicz]

again, if anyone finds the same errors as me: I tried uninstalling the npm package and re installing it. It wouldn't install with sudo (as I always do it) I tried without sudo and it worked.

WORKING, thanks!!

[NestCam]Failed to request access token. Unexpected API Error - 403

When I use the code in terminal I get the next error:

{"url":"/session","message":"400 Bad Request"}/homebridge #

[morilm]

All working fine with 0.12 version...

I have used the curl command on this post as the one in the github didn't worked for me.

[waxlabo]

I got the access_token but I am not sure how to read it? Does it end before / or "?

[waxlabo]

Oh nevermind. I was copying the wrong access_token all along.

[coxfrederic]

This is not working for me. I added my access token without and afterwards with 2FA but both are not working. I'm not getting any errors ... what can be wrong? I get an access token returned but it does not seem to be valid

[coxfrederic]

Do I need a Nest API developer account or something?

[coxfrederic]

My access token is something like - [Tian: Removed access token]

[KhaosT]

@coxfrederic can you create an new issue in this project and post log homebridge print at start?

[QandnotU]

I've updated the plugin and regenerated the token and added it to the config. All looks good in Homebridge, but I'm having trouble adding the camera back in. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

[KhaosT]

@QandnotU can you create a new issue in this project and post log homebridge print there?
