How to telnet on hassio via Docker?

This is a one-time thing you have to do. Once logged in your device should stay that way while the credential …

Actually - and this is just a guess - it looks like you need to telnet to your HEOS device to enter that URL, not to Home Assistant.

But I don’t have no hardware of that type, so I cannot provide valuable assistance.

Yes, that was it

Thanks a lot, @m0wlheld!!
