Appdeamon continually disconnects from HA

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

I recently switched from HA ssl to using nginx. I noticed last night that my appdaemon script hadn’t run as expected. I checked the logs and saw that appdaemon was no longer connecting to HA. Duh. I forgot to update my config. So I changed my ha_url to refelect my local address. If i add the port to the url appdaemon won’t connect at all. Also plugging the IP into a browser always redirects to my duckdns address.

config:

[AppDaemon]
ha_url = http://192.168.1.223
ha_key = my_key
logfile = /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/logfile.log
errorfile = /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon/logs/errorfile.log
app_dir = /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon/apps
threads = 10

# Apps
[hello_world]
module = hello
class = HelloWorld

[auto_lock]
module = auto_lock
class = LockMonitor
ttl = 600

Now I get the following like every 7 seconds.

I figured it out.

I had added this line to my config based on the link below, after removing it everything is working now.

http:
  server_host: 127.0.0.1

You will need the port unles it is running on port 80.

Try starting AppDaemon with -D DEBUG after you make that change to get a more informative error.

EDIT: You beat me to it, glad it is working now!
