Identification: Turn Authentication on, username homeassistant and password is your API password that you use to login to Home Assistant.
But the API password is not used anymore. While I have the owntracks mqtt configured and working properly with no issued, I followed all the steps, but it doesn’t connect.
In the android devices, I can configure the owntracks app to use mqtt but after a while I doesn’t update anymore. According to the owntracks documentation, it is highly recommended to use http instead of mqtt because some android limitation in the background.
I have searched everywhere but I have found nothing and, since http is recommended for Android devices because mqtt does not update, I wondering how you guys are dealing with that or if I’m missing something.
I’m also having authentication problems with Owntracks HTTP. I’m using the API password but the hassio logs is displaying this warning: “Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from xxx.xxx.x.xx”
I’ve got the same problem on my Android phone, I tried to login with my “new” account and even tried to use a token somehow, but nothing was succesful.
Hi! I still have some trouble setting this up… As far as I know everything is filled out correctly, however nothing is showing up in known_devices.yaml.
First I got the same errors like you, about the invalid login attempt. I already have the api_password set up in my config from the beginning so that’s not working for me. For some reason, when I created a known_devices file myself to see if that helps, I stopped getting the invalid login errors, but there’s still nothing happening.
