Connect Home Assistant

AmazHA reaches Home Assistant through your phone. It needs two things, entered once: the address of your server and a long-lived access token from an administrator.

Step by step

1. 1

   Open Home Assistant

   Open the Home Assistant app, or Home Assistant in your browser, signed in as an administrator.

   Create a token, copy it

   Under Long-lived access tokens, tap Create token, give it a name (for example AmazHA) and copy it. Home Assistant shows it only once.

   In Local URL (LAN), enter the address you use at home, for example http://192.168.1.50:8123.

   Your address from outside

   In Remote URL, enter the address that works away from home: Home Assistant Cloud (Nabu Casa), a VPN or your own domain. Either field can stay empty, and AmazHA picks the right one.

   Paste the token

   Paste it into Long-lived access token. One token serves both addresses.

   Tap Connect

   Tap Connect. With both addresses set, the result shows each one, LAN and Remote, both green. With one address it reads Connected.

Good to know

No devices on the watch yet? That’s normal: every device starts hidden, and you choose them next.

Tips

• Only the server address, with nothing after it: http://192.168.1.50:8123, not http://192.168.1.50:8123/lovelace. With a path left on, AmazHA warns that the address answers, but not with the Home Assistant API.
• Use an administrator’s token. A token from a regular user connects, but the watch cannot load your rooms, and AmazHA says so under Connect.
