Help…
Running HA on a thin client using the generic x86-64 installation. System was fairly up-to-date with the 2023.3.1 build.
Today i found I had forgotten my HA password. No problem though, I still had it open on another machine so was able to enter a new password using an administration account as per the advice I found by googling.
But then I discovered the HA companion app on 3 Android devices kept closing when I tried to access them! Another bit of googling led me to instructions about removing them from HA Integrations and restarting, clearing the data and Cache on the android devices and then to run them and add the new credentials. That didn’t work. this time I got to enter the user/password, got the dialogue to give a name to the device but after that they still crashed. And I started getting a red screen about my HA being a dodgy site did I really want to proceed. Yes. but it still crashed.
So I then thought I should update HA to 2023.4.6.
After that I found that many of the Add-on or Integration UIs would no longer open (Grafana, Zigbee2MQTT, Terminal, File editor, Frigate to name a few).
Then after playing around a bit on my PC I got locked out of HA completely! Opening a new tab in Chrome, I would get the red screen again telling me it’s a dodgy site and do I want to proceed . But now a yes to that gets me an error saying the Site cannot be reached and long URL.
I can still access HA from my Windows Laptop using Chrome (Although i still got the red screen) for now.
I still cannot get the companion apps to work beyond the ‘give your device a name’ screen.
Another problem is it has messed up my Fully Kiosk wall panel a bit.
Can someone help me with a pointer to sorting this out please.
EDIT: I’ve just found that it all works fine on the PC if i use the Edge browser instead of Chrome! Is the problem a setting within Chrome? I did a CTRL F5 thing but that didn’t solve anything.
EDIT 2: Solved most things (See below) but not the Companion App crashing at the “Loading Data” stage on 3 different Android devices. Help on that would be appreciated.
EDIT 3: ALL SOLVED (maybe not the Red Screen warning!). The solution was either 1) Upgrading the HAOS to 10.1; or 2) When clearing out the data and cache from the Android device, making sure you had actually closed down the application in the background. All 3 Android devices back up and running now.
On the red screen - there is an option somewhere to report to Google. Just fill it in and say it is your HA and not a phishing site. I’m guessing you are using duckdns - I have this issue now and again and just fill in the form and it all goes away for a while …
Thanks. Just did that but Google is still displaying the red screen and when I want to proceed am still getting the error “This site cannot be reached” and long URL
Just tried with Firefox - Get a similar red screen, told it it was safe and at least I can get in with it all working.
Takes a little while for the Google bot to mark you as safe. Bloody annoying - especially if you have strict endpoint security at work - that will be an alert sent to the Admins
Yes that works. And with a CTRL F5 I got passed the “This site cannot be reached” screen.
But I still cannot get the following Integrations/add-ons to display in Chrome on my PC and Laptop:
Backups
File Editor
Frigate
Grafana
InfluxDB
Node-Red
phpMyAdmin
Terminal
Zigbee2MQTT
These ones do work:
Overview + 2 other Dashboards for my Fire Pane and Mobile phones
Energy
Map
Logbook
History
Browser Mod
Calendar
HACS
Media
Developer Toos
Settings
I should add they ALL display ok on Firefox and Edge.
Still cannot Get the companion app to work beyond the login screen but it does if I log into a different server running on an old Raspberry pi (Version 2022.10.2)
Solved the Integration/Add-on display problem by going into Settings/Privacy and Security/Site Settings/View permissions and data stored across sites/ Searching for my URL and then deleting all the data/cookies.
The annoyance of the Red warning screen is still there despite telling Goolgle it’s a safe site.
The only problem I’m left with is getting the Companion App to work. When I try, I get the Red “Deceptive site ahead” screen. If I wait a few seconds I get the “Unable to connect to Home Assistant” dialogue where I can then go into the App’s settings (and that all works). If I “visit this unsafe site” I get the loading data screen for a few seconds and then it just closes. And this is on 3 different android devices.
I don’t know what Google did! For several days after I got everything working again, the padlock in the URL bar was red (indicating unsafe). But now I notice that it’s black (indicating safe) so they must have done something! No warnings anymore in Firefox or Edge too.
