Updated today to fix this
If I understand correctly, in this latest addon version hassio.addon_stdin was removed.
How can we issue SSH commands from within automation? I am pushing URL with catt command for example.
Thank you.

Great, I confirm the new update fixes the font issue in Firefox. 
I believe I am in the same boat.
I am invoking the addon within a Script.
Am looking for workarounds as wellâŚ
Bob.
Iâm also a bit stuck and looking for advice following the changes. My use case at the moment is Iâm running Hassio with the LetsEncrypt add-on which daily checks if I need a new cert and if so creates it in ~/ssl. I have this generating certs with subdomains for a few other servers I have. I then had an automation that would run when the add-on stopped which was secure copying the files to those other endpoints. With addon_stdio gone Iâm not sure how to transition the following
service: hassio.addon_stdin
data:
addon: a0d7b954_ssh
input: scp ~/ssl/certificate.pem [email protected]:~/ssl/certificate.pem
I was looking at shell_command to then trigger the scp however Iâm not sure how or if I can access the ~/ssl path that the letsencrypt add-on places the generated certs (and where other addons expect the certs to be). Been doing some basic tests of shell_command to call âtouch ~/ssl/testâ among a few variations without luck. I was able to perform a âtouchâ in the config folder which the documentation states is the default execution location but thatâs not where the certs are.
I could just have my other servers (or even just one go them) pull the certs by doing an SCP from them, but I always liked that the automation pushing the certs out immediately after they were generated was instant and centralised. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get a file from the ssl mount in order to SCP to another host?
update: For now Iâve just moved the scp functions to another server which is working for me and scheduling that to run daily.
After upgrading to V10.0.0, the energy monitor stopped collecting data. Restoring back to v9.1.1 and my Energy graph started working again. The total power sensor has no errors in the history.
Fortunately, I had only updated 1 Add on at the time it started failing so it was easy to determine the issue (it was off for about 2.5 days before I noticed).
I donât understand why/how this add-on would interfere with Energy Total. Anyone got any ideas on where I would look?
Maybe a stupid question, but how/where do I set/find the ssh username/password that I can use in the config of this add-on?

hello,
did you manage to solve this problem ??
I try to ssh to an old linux server from HA terminal and I get exactly the same error
no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
I used the compatibility_mode: true but it didnât make any difference.
(I am trying to connect to a local linux server (centos 5.9)
@solomos Yes, problem was solved, but I donât remember how. that was long time ago. What is your SSH & Web Terminal configurations ?
After a lot of searching I found that I can login to remote Linux server by the following command:
ssh -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [email protected]
This bypass the exchange method problem and it prompts me for a password!!
Bingooo!! 
As I donât want to enter any passwords, because I want to call ssh from within a shell script I followed this guide (which is fantastic) to generate a pair of authentications keys.
http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
I followed the instructions and I am sure that I did it right.
However I came again in front of the hostâs old version. (very old actually - it runs centos 5.9)
Using the following SSH command
ssh -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -i /config/ssh_keys/pbxsrv_key_private.ppk [email protected]
âŚAs you can see above, I tried to bypass the exchange method problem and use a key instead of a password at the same time.
I donât get any configuration errors
Instead I get the following error:
Load key "/config/ssh_keys/pbxsrv_key_private.ppk": invalid format
I used the key and I can login properly from a putty client.
Any help will be much appreciated!
thank you for your reply!
I made some progress. Please see my previous post.
Can you help?
Hello, Iâm also looking for a shell_command that would execute mosquitto_pub, as it did very well with:
- service: hassio.addon_stdin
data:
addon: a0d7b954_ssh
input: âmosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.50 -u myname -P mypass -t cmnd/sonoff9/power -m offâ
but, sadly, this does not work any more âŚ
This shell_command never works:
shell_command:
lampe_labo_on: '/usr/bin/mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.50 -u myname -P mypass -t cmnd/sonoff9/power -m on
the shell_command never finds /usr/sbin/mosquitto_pub, even though I can execute it manually in the HomeAssistant CLI:
â ~ /usr/bin/mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.50 -u myname -P mypass -t cmnd/sonoff9/power -m on (that works)
are you aware of a solution to would replace the convenient and easy âservice: hassio.addon_stdinâ was providing, too bad it is not there anymoreâŚ
Thankâs
Hello,
I would like to hear a solution as well. Did you find any?
Thanknyou.
Is there some setting that I am missing to control the resolution?
Is it done at the shell?

FYI: This works for me
Thanks
I get bad gateway too. Add on also crashes 30 seconds after startingâŚ
Here too, is this a known issue?
Updating to latest HA version doesnt fix it
Anyone has a solution for this? 
I got it back working
There was this in my old config
init_commands:
- python3 -m pip install catt
I deleted the addon and did a stock install without the init commands, and now its working again
