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.

But if you have an url to enter into the homeassistant there is no app needed, and also an automatic lock, if you want to someone automatically open the door need to create an user and delete it manually. So if someone rent the apartment, could be created automatically and send user and link fr example and deleted after this period
Thank you!! helps a lot!
