just to update, now i cant use the tray options, in the previous realease it was working

Hey, I’m having an issue with the Tray portion. Without the tray settings enabled in the Electron app, everything is absolutely fine. If I turn on the Tray portion, i constantly get an authentication issue (But the password is correct).

I am using Home-Assistant build 0.64.3 on CentOS 7 (But this has also happened with Rasbian, and debian installs and previous HASS builds)
I am using an Nginx proxy, to route direct http to https, I’m using a letsencrypt cert with a domain name

The HTTP Section of my config file looks like this:
http:

api_password: !secret http_password
base_url: (redacted)

See the below screenshot. NOTE: The password that shows in the error message is the same that I entered in the secrets.yaml file as well as what I enter to log into HASS.

Please let me know what you think.

Hi @talos452, sorry for the problem.

The Home Assistant api has one big problem: The password is included in the URL. This means, if your password is like ‘123abc’ that’s no problem, but if it is for example ‘/§/(TR7834’ then this can corrupt the web request.

It would be great if you could write a short PM if your password could be the problem.
If that’s really the case, I think I could provide a fix for that by passing the password via the http header.

Greetings
Matthias

I just realized that some DOM-Changes were made in Home Assistant 0.65. I recommend to disable ‘Don’t hide toolbar when scrolling’. It could cause unexpected behavior. The fix will be in the next release (a0e4af6)

@matthinc where/how should I send a PM?

matthinc · March 16, 2018, 6:02pm

This should be possible directly in the forum. Just click on your profile picture and the little envelope > ‘New Message’

talos452 · March 16, 2018, 6:22pm

Negative. I will paste it here, and will change it in Hass. The password was Vy636%pgK&i&

talos452 · March 28, 2018, 8:45pm

Anything new @matthinc

fernandex00 · March 28, 2018, 9:28pm

i cant use the tray options, in the previous realease it was working, I’m on Windows, and it keeps calling the system write/read log

matthinc · March 28, 2018, 10:36pm

@talos452 Still working on it. Not that easy to fix.

@fernandex00 The new version (1.1.3) only works with HomeAssistant > 0.65. If you have an older version of HomeAssistant you have to use 1.1.2

fernandex00 · March 29, 2018, 12:08am

@matthinc sorry to botter but in version 1.1.3 i gues the certificate-inspection is enabled again, and geft error after enter

fernandex00 · April 27, 2018, 12:01am

Hope in the new realeases for Windows, be able to hide the developer tab, and make the window the same color of the theme like in mac os

talos452 · May 9, 2018, 5:37pm

Thanks for continuing to look.

Thanks for this app. Works quite nice on macOS.

fernandex00 · July 8, 2018, 2:31am

Hi, waiting for updates and new features, great work

fernandex00 · August 18, 2018, 2:22pm

hi, is there going to be more releases?

fernandex00 · September 24, 2018, 9:31pm

Does this project Is done?

zsolt · March 10, 2019, 12:47pm

I’ve a problem with the custom_ui js module.
Other way is working properly, there’s problem only with in the electron.
What shall I do?

Niklas · March 16, 2019, 3:32pm

I don’t even get so far:

The app hasn’t been updated since lovelace and the authentication system were introduced.
As I 've never worked with electron so far, I have no idea where to start.

@matthinc are you still using home assistant / do you have plans to update the app?

Otherwise it looks like someone has to fork the project. If I 'll find some time, I will have a look at it.

Is there any chance this will be updated? Most things work, but not the status bar shortcuts, which is the best feature.
