Unable to connect Appdaemon to Home Assistant

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

I was originally successful at connecting AppDaemon to Home Assistant, but after a few days, I began getting the following error: WARNING HASS: Disconnected from Home Assistant, retrying in 5 seconds

I tried using the advice on the following page: Consistent disconnect from HASS

and I tried changing to ha_url to the IP address on port 8123, hostname on port 8123, and HTTP ://hassio/homeassistant, and variants with/without the port

The hostname and IP address kept the disconnected and retrying error described above, but the http://hassio/homeassistant address resulted in the following error:

INFO HASS: Connected to Home Assistant 2022.6.2
ARNING HASS: Error in authentication
WARNING HASS: Disconnected from Home Assistant, retrying in 5 seconds

I’ve also tried updating Home Assistant to the newest version, reverting back to a previously working backup, disabling apps, and creating new Long-Lived Access Tokens without any luck.

Any help in fixing this would be much appreciated.

I’m running Home Assistant through hassio on a raspberry pi 3 b+

My appdaemon.yaml is shown below

appdaemon:
  latitude: 42.5
  longitude: -71.5
  elevation: 80
  time_zone: America/New_York
  plugins:
    HASS:

Hi. I don’t know why it’s failing for you. You can try my setup to see if it works. You can ignore the mqtt part.

secrets: /config/secrets.yaml

appdaemon:
  latitude: !secret home_latitude
  longitude: !secret home_longitude
  elevation: !secret home_elevation
  time_zone: Japan
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
      ha_url: http://192.168.1.20:8123
      token: !secret appdaemon_token
      namespace: default
    MQTT:
      type: mqtt
      namespace: mqtt
      client_host: 192.168.1.20
      client_port: 1883
      ca_cert: mqtt-ca.crt # remove if expired. ssl folder
      client_cert: mqtt-server.crt # remove if expired. ssl folder
      client_key: mqtt-server.key # remove if expired. ssl folder
      client_user: !secret mqtt_user
      client_password: !secret mqtt_pass

Hi Lucas, did you ever find a solution? Unfortunately, I have exactly the same problem and so far all my attempts have failed.

Thanks

I feel a bit silly, but my issue here was that I was not copying the entire token. I kept double-clicking on the text, then CTRL+C to copy, but since there was a period in the token my “double-click to highlight all” action was not actually highlighting the entire key, though it looked like I was since the key was longer than the text box I was copying from.

I fixed my issue by using CTRL+A, CTRL+C to copy the token I generated.
