Hi everyone, so I need to create for my rent apartment users automatically to given them access too home assistant ( not on frontend). Looking into HA documentation , looks like is not possible to do it via API.
Has anyone know a solution for that? Thanks in advance.
So they are not going to use the app or the dashboard?
What you want is a custom website where they can only turn on lights and such?
Hi, yes but what we want is to create a temporary user automatically , and when checkout is over user could be deleted automatically.
I wouldn’t download an app just to turn on the lights in an apartment I rent.
If I was going to stay there for a longer time then maybe, but most likely not.
I don’t like downloading apps, I don’t like to create accounts.
I would much rather have a tablet on the wall or normal light switches for that short stay.
I would probably not use the smart home more than a light switch anyways either.
Most normal customers that doesn’t do home automation will probably feel less than me for this.
I doubt there is any way of doing what you ask for in HA.
Users is created inside HA and I would be surprised if there was such a big security hole that you can create them from the outside via some api call.
There is a guest user hacs addon - I have used when I have had family visiting.
