I found the cause and it’s related to SSL enabled on HA ,
I disable the SSL .
configure the appdaemon.yaml as below :

log:
  logfile: /conf/appdaemon.log
  errorfile: /conf/aderror.log
  accessfile: /conf/access.log
appdaemon:
  threads: 10
  app_dir: /conf/apps
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: http://192.168.1.112:8123
      token: '<LONG_LIVE_TOKEN>'
hadashboard:
  dash_url: http://192.168.1.113:5050
  dash_dir: /conf/dashboards

And it’s connected:

Can some1 please advise if they manage to it when HA with SSL?
Can please share how the appdaemon.yaml should configured in this case?

Getting the same error you did! It sounds like you have found a solution! Every other add on seems to work except this one! I have followed at least 10 different guides and opinions on how to set this up! So far this error is as close as I have gotten to making it work. Not being a computer science expert I am forced to rely on those who know more than me! Would you mind telling me how you disabled the SSL? And by doing that what impact does it have on the system? Thanks for your help!

Hi Mark ,

Happy you found this thread , hopefully it could help others as well,
Yes…it took me a lot of time to overcome this ,
and it was not easy.

First , Can some1 tell if appdaemon still not support SSL?
Case not ,first the problem is appdaemon access HA internally and not supported accessing ha over 443 so no SSL …

Solution:
1.Disable SSL (bad idea)
2. Reverse proxy - this actually is a must even if not using with appdaemon ,what it does is a proxy server which let you access HA internally without need for ssl (appdaemon :wink:) and will let you access HA over ssl from outside .

My setup is based on qnap NAS and all installed manually with dockers ,
so the only option i manage to setup the reverse proxy is with Traefik (which is really great and stable + renew the SSL automatically ).
I know there’s some easier solution (I think nginx for hassio users) but i’m not familiar with it…so first, check/research for reverse proxy which suitable ur setup.
Hope it helps…
