Yeah, I am aware of this issue… I have made some attempts to fix it, but I haven’t managed to fix it 
As a workaround, I made an autohotkey script to kill the process and re-launch it once the session restarts, but it’s imperfect…
It should be fixed in the latest version
New version is available!
It includes some improvements, including these neat sliders for lights

That’s a great update! Thanks for the improvements!
Can I suggest another UX improvement? The light menu closes immediately after changing the light parameters (when the mouse button is released). It is not convenient to modify both the brightness and temperature, the menu needs to be opened twice. I suggest to close it only when the mouse is outside the menu.

This is caused by redrawing whole menu after an entity is updated. I plan to limit updates to only updated controls, it should solve this issue
Hey did you manage to make notifications work?
I also encounter same errror as AaronCake. Happens on first step launching the app (authentication / token problem).
Aaron;s LOG file looks just like mine.
It contains like this.

And I see the developer not yet responding to this… Please check
Your problem seems different. Something seems wrong with your URL… What address have you provided?
HassWP running on local computer.
local computer has this ip address
127.0.0.1
192.168.100.4
I also use “localhost” to access the server, all with port 8123.
None of them success…
Long live token also have obtained, and copied correctly.
First I got error as I mention before.
Now, I got exact message as AaronCake (Unable to connect)

Follow these steps:
- Go to

http://127.0.0.1:8123(orhttp://192.168.100.4:8123orhttp://localhost:8123)
Tried that. Still no luck.

Do you have websocket_api in a list of integrations in System info?
I can access Home assistant server running on this computer, from other computer on local network, using IP address.
from other PC, I use chome browser, I can access http://192.168.100.4:8123, and the UI shows up normally
I use Postman app, set the Authorization to Token, and input the Long Lived Token, then GET with command http://127.0.0.1:8123/api/,
I got response “message : API running”
I’m not really sure what prevents app from running… I have installed both HassWP and clean HA Taskbar Menu on my PC and they worked without any problems…
BTW, this app uses websocket API to communicate with HA
I will try to install on fresh copy of Windows. Because this Windows already had much stuff going on and off… Thanks, man. I’ll get back after
You can try first on a clean copy of HassWP
Thanks for this app. And easy instructions! Appreciate it.

Actually, are you please able to give a guide as to the format of the shortcut?
My entity ID is input_boolean.garage_door
This is what the instructions say:
call_service light.toggle {\"entity_id\": \"light.desk\"}
What would I change?
