HACS stuck 'waiting for device activation'

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

for me also, thank you!

ist ja verrückt… funktioniert !

Same issue here, fresh install of HAOS on bare metal, trying to install HACS, and it just spins…

Is there a fix vs having to downgrade HA?

Thank you soooooooooooo much … it worked like magic for me … I wasted several hours for nothing … your solution was easy and effective

Vielen, vielen Dank - das zurücksetzen hat perfekt geklappt!

Wow. This worked for me! Thanks mate!

Thank you!! This worked for me

Where can I find the downloaded “hacs.sh” file? And how to reupload it?

  • terminal
  • paste wget -O hacs.sh https://get.hacs.xyz
  • write nano /etc
  • CTRL+ R (Read file)
  • wrie hacs.sh

find the line and replace it with
wget “https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/latest/download/hacs.zip

paste (right mouse button)

wget “https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/download/1.33.0/hacs.zip

  • CTRL+ O (Write out)
  • ENTER
  • „bash hacs.sh" (right mouse button)

Danke, hat geholfen. :ok_hand:

Thank you, worked perfect with downgrade.

Chiming in to say this worked for me too, thanks very much! I’m using the container version of HA, so I had to

docker exec -it homeassistant bash

first to log into the container. If that helps anyone!

This works perfectly

I’m hitting this too.

Absolute beginner so all of the above might as well be another language.

I have Home Assistant set up in UTM on a Mac Mini.

Any help would be great.

Worked! Thanks

Try downgrade the hacs version, as Vinay told:

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 Follow the usual steps for activation (About the “Submit” button you mentioned, the documentation is outdated, there’s no such button anymore).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

That worked for me! Thank you!

kesin çözüm. teşekkür ederim
