Hi Everyone,
I am having trouble with trying to connect a sensor (attached to a GPIO on the Pi) in Node Red to a Wifi smart plug I have already integrated with home assistant.
I am using the Call a Service Node in Node red and trying to set up my Home Assistant properties but it is asking for an API password. I don’t know what it is and how to set it.
I have tried: - My Login password for Homeassistant
- My MQTT server password
Clearly it was not any of those.
I looked a bit online and found some people saying to add the following to configuration.yaml
http:
api_password: 123456789
base_url: http://192.168.1.xxx:8123
When I do that, home assistant boots in Safe Mode and tells me that there is a failed attempt to login from the same IP address. 192.168.1.xxx.
The only way to get it to boot properly is to remove it from configuration.yaml
I am utterly confused and need your help.
Many thanks in advance.
