Im getting this on my node-red logs, any ideas?

Please read the release notes (posted yesterday in this thread) on the upgrade instructions.

Ah ok, seems like there are some breaking changes with two of the nodes. The Poll State and Current State both have a little different formatted output. im working on it, thanks @frenck

When using Ha services, code-red contains node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket errors. How to fix? or how to update? Ha installed in Docker!

So, I see in the notes that “the add-on now authenticates against Home Assistant”. But what is my username? I have the api_password set, and that’s all I’ve ever used to login to home assistant. and now I can’t access node red at all, I tried blank user and ‘admin’, but I can’t even see in the docs where to configure a potential username for home assistant?

me2 too i have delete the folder .store, restart and set a new user. but node-red said “Login failed”. After delet node-red incl. folder, the same. something I’m doing wrong

justin8 · October 30, 2018, 9:53pm

So, the answer for me was, upgrade to a newer home assistant, since apparently users are a thing now, but weren’t on the version I was using.

The new home assistant config was automatically added, but didn’t replace my existing one, so on every node I had 2 “Homeassistant” options to choose as the server. I just deleted the old one, and had to double-click then click done on every HA node to reset it to the new server config using the generated key, and now it appears to be working again.

I upgraded to the new Node-RED, reconfigured and made sure everything worked smoothly. Tonight I updated my Hassio to HassOS 1.12 then Hass to 81.2. After the system came back online I noticed in the Hass System Log a whole bunch of errors when Node-RED was trying to initialize the API.

18-10-31 00:12:47 INFO (MainThread) [hassio.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API request initialize
18-10-31 00:12:47 INFO (MainThread) [hassio.api.proxy] WebSocket access from a0d7b954_nodered
18-10-31 00:12:47 ERROR (MainThread) [hassio.api.proxy] Client error on WebSocket API Cannot connect to host 172.30.32.1:8123 ssl:False [Connection refused].

There wasn’t any errors anywhere else and my automations wouldn’t work until I restarted Node-RED. After restarting Node-RED everything was fine again.

After upgrading Node-red started to appear such mistakes all the options Ha

TKDJesper · October 31, 2018, 6:03pm

I keep getting this error no matter what I try…

31 Oct 17:42:23 - [error] [server:Home Assistant] Error: Invalid access token or password.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the add-on and reset all settings to default without any luck…

My config looks like this:
{
“log_level”: “info”,
“credential_secret”: “(same credential as before the upgrade”,
“http_node”: {
“username”: “”,
“password”: “”
},
“http_static”: {
“username”: “”,
“password”: “”
},
“port”: 1880,
“ssl”: true,
“certfile”: “fullchain.pem”,
“keyfile”: “privkey.pem”,
“require_ssl”: true,
“system_packages”: [],
“npm_packages”: [],
“init_commands”: []
}

Please edit your server connection in NodeRed.
it has to be changed to :
http://hassio/homeassistant as the server URL
No access token necessary

I note that I had to specify the username in lowercase in order to get this to work, despite having mixed-case usernames in HA.

Config as per @TKDJesper is working for me if I use the username incorrectly with lowercase from HA

frenck · November 1, 2018, 8:12am

I’ve tested this (again just right now to be sure), but the add-on handles casing of usernames correct on my end.
I’ve tested with the username Henk and password }_zmq4c.%CXbqh>/B9"2Dmq%,!Am)v"^+pJ~qEjLv’[gF$`. So both complex password an capitalized usernames, did work on my end?

TKDJesper · November 1, 2018, 9:25am

Hi Frenck…
I solved the issue with only lower case letters…
In Home Assistant the users is registered with a capital letter, but if I write the exact name as it is in HA, I get a login failed… If I only use lower case letters, then all is fine…

frenck · November 1, 2018, 9:26am

The Users’ name is registered with a capital letter, the username is lowercase (automatically suggested by HA).

dionisgr · November 1, 2018, 9:35am

All went well except that the new problem is that now HA does not connect to node-red there is no data in the API pass and Long-Lived Access Token. That there to point fingers? Before the update, the data were registered there.

frenck · November 1, 2018, 9:38am

Not sure what you are using, but that is not what the add-on should look like (your fields are different).

Seems like you have a manually installed/loaded version of the Spartan-II-117 fork installed.

dionisgr · November 1, 2018, 9:40am

Don’t know for sure but in manual I didn’t installed all the repository HA after the update this has become.

frenck · November 1, 2018, 9:42am

Go to the palette management and search for home-assistant, what do you see?
