Appdaemon with https

Third party integrations AppDaemon

Very kind of you!:slight_smile:

As far as I can see, no ssl is activated in Hass. All the ssl-offloading should be handled by Nginx, which is hosted on the same server. Hass and Appdaemon are run in separate venv:s.

Here are the relevant part of my configuration files:

configuration.yaml

http:
  server_host: 127.0.0.1
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies: 127.0.0.1

appdaemon.yaml

appdaemon:
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: https://my_hass_url
      token: !secret token

With the above configuration the complete system works, though when internet goes down, appdaemon loses it’s connection to hass and therefore stops functioning.

I guess that the setting below should be something else, since appdaemon still connects to Hass via the internet.

      ha_url: https://my_hass_url

ha_url should be your local url

so something like:

ha_url: http://192.168.178.x:8123
to make sure that you got a working url, test the url in a browser.

Thank you!

You’re suggestion was part of the solution. What finally made it all work was a series of alterations.

1. Proxy Pass

According to https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/ecosystem/nginx/ proxy_pass in nginx.conf should be set as.

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8123;

Though, in your example above it was set as.

proxy_pass http://HA_IP:8123;

Setting it as http://HA_IP:8123; worked.

2. Server host

When proxy_pass was set as http://HA_IP:8123, server_host in configuration.yaml had to be set accordingly as.

server_host: HA_IP

that is - not as:

server_host: 127.0.0.1

3. HA Url

Finally, ha_url in appdaemon.yaml was set as.

ha_url: http://HA_IP:8123

Again, thanks so much!
