Cookie initialisation #183

Open IanIreland opened 6 months ago

IanIreland commented 6 months ago

I currently use Proxy authentication. I have re-initialise it regularly to keep it working. I decided to try cookies. However, when I follow the instructions the landing page for alexa.amazon.com (and alexa.amazon.co.uk) it simply takes you to a page to download the app. Is to get another way to get a cookie?

Hi ! I have the same problem ..... Thanks for the help !

MrEcosse commented 6 months ago

Seems to have stopped saving the cookie for me too. Perhaps HA has prevented writing to the location?

quadhammer commented 6 months ago

Ditto here. I need to reauthorize every day now.

This sounds likely. I'm using the built-in add-on of node red, inside home assistant, and my file path for the proxy method is:

/homeassistant/node-red/test3.txt

Home Assistant is also inside a VM if that makes a difference.

Does this file location work?

Well, for about 12 hours, then I have to restart Node Red.

22 Apr 16:57:55 - [error] [alexa-remote-account:Name] Error while checking Authentication: Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN pitangui.amazon.com

That seems to pop up too.

Turning "Auto Query Activities" off and on fixes it, but I need it on permanently.

I placed the authentication file in the share folder which allows writting. Thanks guys

I didn't change my path, but it seems to work pretty reliably now. I'll give the 'share' folder a try if it starts playing up, thanks.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.
