Hello,
I have a VPN configured on my mobile to access my home network when I’m not at home. So I can reach my HA locally (when I’m connected to my home wifi) and when VPN is connected.
In my understanding I then should be able to use the HA address as “Internal connection URL” and keep “Home Assistant URL” empty. But the latter doesn’t work because the empty string results in “Unable to parse your URL. It should look like this: https://example.com”.
So even when ignoring the VPN and only trying to make HA usable when I’m in the home wifi doesn’t work.
In the end I want to prevent the companion to try to connect to HA when not in the home wifi (or not connected to VPN).
Am I missing something?
I have Home Assistant URL configured with the local IP address and the internal URL is empty. I’m also using either my local WIFI or a wireguard VPN.
I have Home Assistant URL configured with the local IP address and the internal URL is empty.
I’m using https, so the address to reach HA is a hostname. I wonder if using http and an IP makes the Companion also try to connect when you’re in a different wifi. (And if your password is sent in cleartext if the IP (local to that other wifi) has HA installed.)
