Hello! I’m trying to manually expose my HA devices to Google Home/Assistant, following the instructions on the Google Assistant integration’s documentation page. Everything goes perfectly until I try to add my [test] project in the Google Home app. It opens up my HA login page with the message “You’re about to give https ://oauth-redirect. google … access to your Home Assistant instance. Logging in with Home Assistant Local.”
Trying to log in on this page results in an “Invalid username or password” message, along with a notification in HA saying “Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from [IP]”. In the logs, this is recorded as:
Logger: homeassistant.components.http.ban
Source: components/http/ban.py:80
Integration: HTTP (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 8:58:04 PM (2 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:44:49 PM
Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from [IP]. Requested URL: '/auth/login_flow/...'. (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1)
I’m wondering if something is wrong with my encryption/SSL setup. I have Duck DNS and NGINX Home Assistant SSL Proxy add-ons set up and working. The message “Logging in with Home Assistant Local” makes me wonder if it’s trying to log in as a local user, but I’ve tried doing this both on my local network and on my cellular data, with the same results. Would appreciate any help!
Okay, figured it out. For anyone who has the same problem in the future: The problem is specific to the iOS version of Google Home. The login page for the HA instance runs on Safari, and there’s a bug in Safari where it will not send out your password if you autofilled it from a password manager (at least not with BitWarden). The solution is to simply type in your username and password instead of using autofill.
tl;dr: used Chrome instead of Brave to log in and it solved the issue
I had a similar issue when trying to add [test] home-assistant integration from Google Home. After logging in, I got a toast saying “try again later”, and in Cloud Logs I saw the following:
"Can't get access token. 3P returned error."
{"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Invalid client id"}
After hours fiddling with configs in HA, Google Home and Coudflare, I fixed that by setting Chrome instead of Brave as a default browser in my Android phone to perform a login to HA in Google Home app.
I thought that might be related to using autofilled login and password, so I tried entering them manually, but that didn’t work. So only changing the browser helped. Not sure if that happens to anyone else, but I’m leaving it here for history.
