HACS stuck 'waiting for device activation'

I have the same problem

Same Issue I am facing.

Try typing the command ha core update --version 2024.1.0. This will roll back to the version where the integration is normally added. Then try adding the integration again

Thank you friend! Your method worked. Activation completed.

Rolling back to:
ha core update --version 2024.1.0

this worked for me. Then I reinstalled the current update for HA and so far everything seems to be working. KiiDii - thank you for the recommendation!

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 Follow the usual steps for activation (About the “Submit” button you mentioned, the documentation is outdated, there’s no such button anymore).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.

Thanks KiiDii, I was installing HassOS and this seems to have solved it

Perfect - worked for me - thank you

Perfect work

Downgrading to 2024.3.1 was far enough to make it work for me

Looks like this (recent) issue is the cause of the uptick of this in the last couple of weeks (maybe introduced in HA 2024.5?): custom_components.hacs.config_flow::HacsFlowHandler calls async_show_progress without passing a progress task · Issue #3649 · hacs/integration · GitHub

There is a patch suggested in a comment.

hi where can i find the downloaded file?

So basically for container users, downgrade to 2024.1.0.dev20231205, activate HACS, upgrade to stable again. That worked for me.

This also worked for me, thank you sir! Simplest way to downgrade HACS.

Thank you!

It is in the directory where you used the wget -O hacs.sh https://get.hacs.xyz command.

Use the console and type ls to list all files in that directory and edit the file like Joshi said
