Authentication? #2

Closed ernestoongaro closed 1 year ago

ernestoongaro commented 1 year ago

Just following the installation instruction, and I don't see anything about authentication.

I assume someToken in lambda_function.py should be replaced with a long lived access token?

You are right, there is no authentication. This skill just opens Home Assistant in the built-in browser on the Echo Show. Like on any other device, you will first need to login using your username and password. Don't forget to select the "keep me logged in" option so that you won't need to do this again.

The token is a mandatory parameter of the ExecuteCommandsDirective function, but it is unnecessary for this skill, which is why any string can be used for it.

Ah ok! Thank you for the clarification, and awesome work here :)

For me the .local domain didn’t work, had to use .lan from echo

Try loading in the browser (silk) first

I do not ssl or access from the outside enabled but my echos and HA are in the same network. trying the very same url on my laptop leads me to the login prompt :( means the url is right but somehow my echo cannot open it / reach it?
