Continuing the discussion from 0.77: Authentication system 
♂ + Hangouts bot 
:
In the thread I linked above, I once said that I insist in using trusted_networks to make it easier for my Node.JS file to interact with Home Assistant when using Plex webhook. In any case, if I were to transition to 0.77 with the new auth system in place, what should I do to make my Node.JS file work with Home Assistant?
Here’s a portion of the code:
// imports and variables above
app.post('/', upload.single('thumb'), function (req, res, next) {
var payload = JSON.parse(req.body.payload);
var cURL = "http://localhost:8123/api/";
var json = { "entity_id": "light.living_room_floor_lamps" };
var cType = "application/json";
var ha_passwd = "";
console.log('Got webhook for ', payload.event + ", UUID " + payload.Player.uuid );
res.sendStatus(200);
if(payload.Player.uuid == "b50dc01595f2f53d-com-plexapp-android")
{
if(payload.event === 'media.play' || payload.event === 'media.resume')
{
console.log("Media is playing.");
request({
url: cURL + "services/light/turn_off",
method: "POST", json: true, body: json,
headers: { "x-ha-access" : ha_passwd, "Content-Type": cType }
}, function(error, response, body) { console.log(body); });
}
// media.pause continues below and similar to media.play as above
How would I get a token?
I am staying with 0.74 until I can get Node.JS updated with the new auth system. In other words, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
