Emulated Hue and Google Home | Stuck on pairing process

Configuration
7

Try:

setcap "cap_net_bind_service=+ep" /usr/bin/python3.5

in the Linux terminal as root. That should allow Home Assistant to open up port 80 using the Python 3.5 binary. I’ve used the history command to look for “python3” and I remember I did a search in the Internet for the same problem despite not having Google Home yet and there it is.

Only applications below port 1024 can only be opened if it had root privileges. Either Home Assistant must be run as root or you must use setcap for this to work.
