Home Connect integration error

Apparently, yes, it’s all a matter of caching and propagating the changes to the defined applications in developer.home-connect.com.

I don’t know how long it actually takes, but I’ve done nothing but retry for ~20 minutes and it finally worked without any changes to any settings.

I found the URL given in the documentation (https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth) works fine.

But I had to try a different browser for it to work. Adblocker addons in Firefox probably prevented it from working.

Have tried to add home-connect integration with Safari browser. Spent couple hours and tried several Redirect URIs.
After i found this thread - changed browser to Chrome and integration started to work fine. Only last step failed, but after i changed home-assistan.local:8123 to my url added successfully.

Thanks @t-my this worked for me!!!

Hello,
I’m having the same issue.
error message bellow :

many thanks for your help and advice.

i also tried about 1 hour.
changed from chrome to edge and it worked.
i used reirect URL: https://my.home-assistant.io/auth/external/callback

I think i found a solution and the root of the problem.
I think https://my.home-assistant.io/ makes a cookie on your local computer or something to make a redirect. Automatically it uses http:// for redirecting to homeassistant.local.
If you have set up duckdns in your instance, then reqular http will not work (you can probably make it to work, but if you have followed the tutorial, it will not work out of the box). All you need to do is, click my.home-assistant link, and when it says that you can create a new redirect path, replace http to https.
This is how i managed to make it work.

I got the same error message. When I switched to a a separate browser profile, it worked. This is what I think happens:
The OAuth dance must happen with your private Home Connect account. Not your Home Connect Developer account. But since you’ve just (if you followed the installation instructions) used your Developer account to create the app, the Developer account is what you are logged in with.

So if you log out of your Home Connect Developer account before performing the OAuth dance, it will probably work.

YES, this WORKED for me… Thx a lot…

In detail. Signup for developer account at https://developer.home-connect.com/, add Application (follow Home Connect - Home Assistant with Application ID: HomeAssistant, OAuth Flow: default, Redirect URL: https://<HOME_ASSISTANT_URL>/auth/external/callback), copy Home Connect user account, Client ID, Client Secret somewhere e.g. text document, LOGOUT!!!, then add integration in HA and add the details from the text document like email, client id, client secret… voilà

Thanks for confirming @inv1sible
I have created Clarify home_connect prerequisites by mfalkvidd · Pull Request #25389 · home-assistant/home-assistant.io · GitHub to improve the documentation.

Hello together,
I try to get the integration running for some hours now. First I tried it the way the documentation says and I got the same error as everyone here. Then I had read this thread and tried everything:
Changed the Redirect URI to all the following things:
https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth
https://my.home-assistant.io/auth/external/callback
http://<INTERNAL IP:8123>/auth/external/callback

I even set up a new application in developer account for every Redirect URI to be sure. And yes I deleted the application credentials in HA and tried different browsers.

I tried the OAUTH2 Authorize Callback Feature which points to https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth/
And for sure I tried MikaelFs infos and logged out to my developer account. Nothing worked for me so far.
My Home Assistant is activated also, but Home Assistant is not reachable by an external URL over DynDNS or something like that.

So does anyone has any idea what to try next?

I tried everything and nothing worked until I turned off my pihole and adblockers

The redirect url it sends you to works, try calling the url on a different network if possible e.g mobile internet

Getting the same issues. Is there anyway to fix this or delete any reference of it?

Tryed for hours now without succes.
If I get the error I need to restore a full backup otherwise I cannot get rit of the error when I try to add home connect. (and I’m losing data collected in that time)>

I think it is the callback uri.

Please advise what to use :

I tryed :slight_smile:

https://192.168.178.15:8123/auth/external/callback

https://my.home-assistant.io/auth/external/callback

I used Edge to configure.

Please help.

I am pretty sure, a 192.168.x.x:8123 URL is NOT https… I used nginx manager and duckdns to get TLS connection. and then https://myexternalurl.duckdns.org/auth/external/callback worked for me… Hope that helps

Different browsers did not work, my mobile did not work.
Going to bed and trying again in the morning worked. Did not change anything and used the recommended settings and urls as described here Home Assistant

so only worked for me when i signed in the One Digital Identity for Many Brands - SingleKey ID
and copied the client id from the Account | Home Connect Developer Program and added it to the link that HA creates when i click open website, i donno if it was a mix of the cache info and/or the call back
but i didn’t need to logout of the developer account while i was signed in with signlekey-id.com, when i changed the link this time i was asked for my login email by home connect and after loging it showed up on HA

i think the important part is the singlekey-id.com login because it removes the cached login for the developer account

Posting as I got this working after hours of trying. The information in the documentation and this thread is correct, but I’d like to add some clarifying notes that worked for me.

If you’re not using Home Assistant cloud then you need to remove default_config: from configuration.yaml to disable the “My Home Assistant” integration. You need to do this in order for your internal/external URL settings under System > Network are used when HA constructs the callback URL for Home Connect. As per the documentation, make sure the callback url matches one or both of these. The base URL you are browing from when you set up the integration will be used to construct the callback URL, so make sure that matches one that you have configured in the Home Connect OAuth application.

I suspect the main problem with the auth flow that results in the request rejected by client authorization authority (developer portal) error is down to use of third party cookies, so you need to disable all adblocking (browser plugins, pihole, adguard etc) and you must use Google Chrome, preferrably in a fresh/private browsing session to ensure there is no cache/cookies from either singlekey-id or Home Connect developer portal. Chrome is the only browser that still doesn’t block third party cookies and the only browser that worked for me. I also tethered to my phone to ensure that pihole would definitely not block any requests.

So to summarise:

  • Follow the docs, the configuration guide is correct
  • Disable all ad/cookie blocking extensions or services you have. If you use pihole/adguard, tether to your phone
  • Use Google Chrome with a fresh/private session to set up the integration - this only works on Chrome

Hope this helps!
