Home Assistant WebSocket API Authentication Timeout

Configuration
1

Hi
I am using a Pi Zero as a kiosk client for HA. I’m running into a problem that I believe is due to the (lack of) performance of the PiZero. After rebooting the client I see a message saying “Cannot Connect to Home Assistant”. If I click on the “retry” link my dashboard eventually loads.
The message I can see in the HA logs is this…

Disconnected: Did not receive auth message within 10 seconds

I have already tried different authentication methods.
Is it possible to increase this 10 second timeout to allow for slower clients to load the interface ?

Thank you
Chris

@chrisathome - did you ever get this figured out? I am running into the same issue in the same situation except on a Pi 3B+ and i can’t get to my dashboard even after clicking retry repeatedly.

Hi Craig, no I didn’t get to the bottom of it. I moved the project to a Pi4.
However…just the other day I was reading the latest release notes (fixes) for HA 2021.4.2 and saw this…[Change discovery timeout from 10 to 60 by ludeeus · Pull Request #48924 · home-assistant/core · GitHub]
Hope that helps…

Chris
