HACS stuck 'waiting for device activation'

I fixed this by downgrading the hacs version

  1. Go to the Terminal and download the install script but do not execute it right away: wget -O hacs.sh https://get.hacs.xyz
  2. Edit the “hacs.sh” file with your preferred text editor.
  3. In line 65 replace de download URL to version 1.33.0 and save: wget "https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/download/1.33.0/hacs.zip"
  4. Run the updated install script: "bash hacs.sh"
  5. Restart HomeAssistant.
  6. Follow the usual steps for activation (About the “Submit” button you mentioned, the documentation is outdated, there’s no such button anymore).
  7. Update HACS in the usual manner.
