How to use without API-password? #7

olskar · 2018-12-01T15:01:10Z

Since api password is being removed from Home Assistant, How to use without API-password?

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-06T17:27:00Z

I can certainly double that, would be great to get some more instruction on how to set this plugin up for a token authentication. Where do I have to put the token to?

aserramonner · 2018-12-06T20:11:49Z

I have not tried that, but maybe using whitelisting (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/authentication/providers/) may work for a magic mirror use case, since all api accesses will come from the same IP address.

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-06T20:16:07Z

I did get it to work! I had to extra file containing the environmental variable which actually the starts the mm.sh script

I created a magic mirror.config.js in the same folder as the mm.sh

module.exports = {
  apps : [
      {
        name: "MagicMirror",
        script: "./mm.sh",
        watch: true,
        env: {
          "HASSIO_TOKEN": "XXXXXXXXXXXX“
        }
      }
  ]
}

then I started the MM with

pm2 reload magic mirror.config.js

it works quite brilliantly

EDIT1: Changed the rotation mark according to chrismag1c (see below)

Sorry, I'm a newish to Magic Mirror. I've tried the HA Magic Mirror addon, and then running magic mirror from a Docker. I'm not sure how to approach the subject above. Where would i find the mm.sh?

Can you please post your config.js
I tried that but I couldn't get it to work.

bachoo786 · 2018-12-29T23:03:30Z

@Kugelfang666 so I created the mirror.config.js file and copied your code and saved the file in the directory where the mm.sh is i.e. my home folder.

I then added your above code to my config.js and when I restart my mm using "pm2 restart mm" I get invalid config.

What have you done differently to mine?

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-30T08:25:13Z

@bachoo786:

did you put the IP address of your HASSIO instance into the config code?
did you put an actual long lasting token into the mirror.config.js?

also I just realized I missed one } in the code I posted. please check your config

bachoo786 · 2018-12-30T10:12:30Z

Is this for hassio or long lived tokens?

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-30T10:54:22Z

I created a user within the home assistant GUI dedicated for the magic mirror. For this very user I retrieved the long lived token and put it into the environmental variable list

bachoo786 · 2018-12-30T11:24:37Z

So you are not using hassio?

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-30T13:25:54Z

I'm using hassio on a raspberry pi

bachoo786 · 2018-12-30T13:27:06Z

Ok I am running HA on docker

Kugelfang666 · 2018-12-30T13:28:27Z

ok, but does it make a difference on how this plugin interacts with home assistant?

bachoo786 · 2018-12-30T13:31:16Z

I don't think so

chrismag1c · 2019-01-03T22:18:32Z

        }
      }
  ]
}
then I started the MM with

pm2 reload magic mirror.config.js

it works quite brilliantly

yes it works, thanks.
Please consider to use the right quotation marks for the token. I copied the code from here and didn't notice.
It should be "HASSIO_TOKEN": "XXXXXXXXXXXX" instead of „XXXXXXXXXXXX“.

I created a new magic.config.js (MagicMirror/installers) with the content from above.
I stopped mm:
pm2 stop mm

And started:
pm2 start magic.config.js

Kugelfang666 · 2019-01-03T22:58:32Z

thanks for the finding, I must have screwed up the "" when removing my token, thanks for the finding. I edited my original post accordingly!

sorry, I don not have mm.sh file. I only have a run-start.sh file in the MagicMirror folder. and it contains these code:
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then #If not set DISPLAY is SSH remote or tty
export DISPLAY=:0 # Set by default display
fi
electron js/electron.js $1

I usually use the command "npm start "to run magic mirror. Can you tell me more details?

Kugelfang666 · 2019-04-07T11:27:37Z

i see, I just updated my MM and in the newer releases it works a bit different:
in \MagicMirror\installers

I changed the pm2-MagicMirror.json to look like this:

{
  "apps" : [{

    "name"        : "MagicMirror",
    "script"      : "/home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh",
    "watch"       : ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js"],
    "env"         : {
      "HASSIO_TOKEN": "YOUR TOKEN HERE",
    }
  }]
}

then I created a new file in the same folder called mm.sh which noch contains:

cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

this way pm2 starts the first file which contains the token. In turn this file then starts the mm.sh wich initiates the magidmirror.

ivanovd · 2019-04-08T08:41:03Z

@Kugelfang666 I have absolutely the same setup as yours but I still get only up to the point where the module is loaded but it keeps on “Loading” in MM

I do have the long lasting token in HA set up and copied to pm2-MagicMirror.json

However my HA is only accessed via HTTPS, so the only change in my config is that https is true not false, however I tried both true and false and it still fails.

Any thoughts?

ivanovd · 2019-04-08T09:00:06Z

I’ve made some progress after following the instructions in #8

Now the module loads the sensors names, but the readings are “undefined” …

The HA log shows “Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from XXX.XXX.X.X (the IP of the MM)”, however the LL token is correct. I deleted and created a new one and copy-pasted it in the json … don’t know what is going wrong...

Kugelfang666 · 2019-04-08T22:26:53Z

very wired. did you create a dedicated user for the mirror? if not try it. It could be that HASSIO does not like the identical user being logged in via different machines.

What I did was to create a dedicated user on my HA. then I logged in as such and created a new permanent token

ivanovd · 2019-04-09T07:09:27Z

Yeah, I thought the same then I read through the whole topic again and noticed that you have separate accounts and tried that as well - didn't work ...

I think SSL is what breaks things ...

Kugelfang666 · 2019-04-09T08:53:35Z

Are you using a self signed certificate or letsencypt? And did you try without ssl?

ivanovd · 2019-04-09T11:09:25Z

I am using LetsEncrypt in the DuckDNS addon.

Here is my starting point as of now:

configuration.yaml

http:
  base_url: https://XXXXXX.duckdns.org
  ssl_certificate: /ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /ssl/privkey.pem
  api_password: !secret http_password #I use this for IFTTT recipies that triger scripts
  ssl_profile: intermediate

DuckDNS config:

{
  "lets_encrypt": {
    "accept_terms": true,
    "certfile": "fullchain.pem",
    "keyfile": "privkey.pem"
  },
  "token": "XXXXXXXXX",
  "domains": [
    "XXXXXX.duckdns.org"
  ],
  "seconds": 300
}

pm2_MagicMirror.json

~/MagicMirror/installers $ cat pm2_MagicMirror.json
{
  "apps" : [{
    "name"        : "MagicMirror",
    "script"      : "/home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh",
    "watch"       : ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js"],
    "env"         : {
      "HASSIO_TOKEN": "XXXXXXXXX"
    }
  }]
}

config.js

{
                 module: "MMM-HASS",
                 header: "Сензори",
                 position: "top_left",
                 config: {
                   host: "192.168.1.19", // I have tried hassio.local xxxxx.duckdns.org as well
                   port: "8123",
                   apipassword: false,
                   hassiotoken: true,
                   https: true,
                   devices: [
                     { deviceLabel: "Температура",
                         deviceReadings: [
                         { sensor: "sensor.temperature_158d000273cb7c", icon: "fa fa-temperature-high", suffix: " C"}
                          ]
                     },
                     { deviceLabel: "Влажност",
                         deviceReadings: [
                         { sensor: "sensor.humidity_158d000273cb7c", icon: "fa fa-humidity", suffix: " %",}
                           ]
                     },
                     { deviceLabel: "Налягане",
                         deviceReadings: [
                         { sensor: "sensor.pressure_158d000273cb7c", icon: "fa fa-cloudscale", suffix: " hPa"}
                          ]
                     }
                  ]
                }
},

I will keep trying without the SSL and DuckDNS to see if that makes difference and will report later.

Thanks for the support @Kugelfang666

Kugelfang666 · 2019-04-09T16:22:27Z

the configuration of the pm2 file and the config.js looks ok to me,

maybe just a simple question: from the error message I would assume that the actual connection is ok. did you try polling another sensor?

Beyond this I'm afraid thy my expertise ends here :-)

Kugelfang666 · 2019-04-09T16:23:15Z

one more thing: does the SSL protocol also listen to port 8123??

ivanovd · 2019-04-09T16:31:18Z

@Kugelfang666 yeah I am out of ideas as well ...

The connection is fine, I can see that MM is trying to pull the data from HA but fails to authenticate, so trying any other sensor also fails. I am sure that there is something fishy with the authentication but don't know what ... I tried with and without SSL, same thing ... I updated the module, raspbian, HA ... everything is up-to-date but still:

I will leave that for now :) If I get inspired another day I will try harder to solve this :D

Thanks for your input though :)

ax42 · 2019-11-07T12:21:41Z

Maybe it helps others in my situation. I run MM in a docker container in server-only mode. For this, add

-e HASSIO_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXX"

to your docker command (instead of adding it to the pm2 json).

After some Time I had to reset my token and ran into the same problem. After some digging I found the solution: There seems to be a bug so that pm2 does not read the pm2_MagicMirror.json correctly. SSH into the MM and going into the installers Folger I ran pm2 reload pm2_MagicMirror.json and the problem was gone

wormiedk · 2021-02-08T08:52:50Z

Replace line 130 in hode_helper.js with:
post_options.headers = { 'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + config.token };
and line 175 in node_helper.js with:
get_options.headers = { 'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + config.token };

Then add a token parameter to your config:

		{
			module: "MMM-HASS",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
					host: "serverip",
					port: "8123",
					hassiotoken: true,
					token: "redacted",
					https: false,
					devices: [
					{ deviceLabel: "Ude",
							deviceReadings: [
							{ sensor: "sensor.ude_zb_temperature", icon: "wi wi-thermometer", suffix: "°"},
							{ sensor: "sensor.ude_zb_humidity", icon: "wi wi-humidity", suffix: "%"},
							{ sensor: "sensor.ude_min", icon: "wi wi-thermometer", su""}
							]
					},
					{ deviceLabel: "Inde",
							deviceReadings: [
							{ sensor: "sensor.alrum_motion_temperature", icon: "wi wi-thermometer", suffix: "°", notification: "INDOOR_TEMPERATURE"}
							]
					}
					]
			  }
		},

Then just install with npm install and no need for environment parameters :)
