Configuration

I don’t have a video, but I just went through the process again. This time I used Microsoft Edge & a different cookie extension (because that’s what I’ve been using recently.) The resulting cookie file appears to work, but I won’t know if it stops working in a short while like some people have experienced until I use it for a while. I’ll try to report back in a week or so.

Here is the procedure I used:

  1. Install Cookie-Editor (Cookie-Editor - Microsoft Edge Addons) in Microsoft Edge.
  2. Manage Extensions → Cookie-Editor details.
  3. Check “Allow in InPrivate”.
  4. Open Microsoft Edge InPrivate browser window.
  5. Browse to www.google.com/maps.
  6. Sign in.
  7. Open Cookie-Editor extension in sidebar.
  8. Click on __Secure-1PSID to expand it.
  9. Click “Show Advanced”.
  10. Uncheck “HTTP Only”.
  11. Click the save button for that cookie.
  12. Repeat steps 9 - 11, but for __Secure-3PSID.
  13. Export to Netscape (which copies the cookies into the Windows clipboard.)
  14. Save clipboard contents to an appropriately named file (see HA Google Maps doc page) and place in HA’s config directory (typically /config, but that depends on your HA install method.)
  15. Close InPrivate browser window.
  16. (Re)start HA.

EDIT: Updated per suggestions below.

EDIT 2: See slightly easier procedure using a different cookie extension in this post below.
