Hi,
I have home assistant at my home and also a nabu casa subscription, if I go “to settings → companion app → my server → external URL” I can see a toggle for home assistant cloud.
I have another instance of home assistant running at my brothers place and I have now signed up for a new nabu casa subscription, I had to use another email address as it does not look like it is possible to have two subscriptions on the same email address…
Anyway, If I go to the same settings and look at this second instance of home assistant there is no toggle switch for home assistant cloud…
Do I just copy the URL from nabu casa and enter it as external URL instead? Will that work just as well as using the toggle switch? I am worried that nabu casa will change that URL at some point…
Yes, it is up to date and I can connect to it from outside using the remote url from nabucasa webpage.
I can also just copy that URL into my exernal URL field in the iOS app and that works.
I have default_config: in my config.yaml
So I am able to connect from outside, I am just curious why I have a toggle switch for home assistant cloud on one instance but not on the other…
Oh, I misread you’re writing about the companion app. I’m on android and just copied the URL in there about 2 years ago, it never changed. Just a guess: Do you have your URL’s configured under settings > system > network?
No, that was a good tips, I did not have that configured. I fixed it now but unfortunately that did not bring up the toggle switch in the iOS app. nevermind, I will just use the remote URL, that is working fine. thanks.
The Home Assistant Cloud is enabled by default. If not, add this to your configuration:
# Example configuration.yaml entry to enable the cloud component
cloud:
Once activated, go to the Settings panel in Home Assistant and create an account and log in. If you are not seeing Home Assistant Cloud within the Settings panel, make sure you have the cloud:option enabled in your configuration.yaml file.
He’s talking about the visual appearance of the connection selection in the companion app. As already mentioned the connection to nabu casa is set up and works
The toggle shows up when the server tells the app it is available – this is re-checked regularly (whenever the app is launched), so this implies the response isn’t telling it. Try restarting the server, does that help? I’ve found that may kick the cloud integration to start saying it’s enabled to the mobile app.
