Home Assistant Receipe

Setup​

  1. Access your profile after logging into your Home Assistant website.
  2. You need to generate a Long-Lived Access Tokens via the Create Token button (very bottom of profile page)

Receipe​

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • hassio://{host}/{long-lived-access-token}
  • hassio://{user}:{pass}:{host}/{access_token}
  • hassio://{user}:{pass}:{host}:{port}/{access_token}
  • hassio://{host}/optional/path/{access_token}
  • hassio://{user}:{pass}:{host}/optional/path/{access_token}
  • hassio://{user}:{pass}:{host}:{port}/optional/path/{access_token}

By default hassio:// will use port 8123 (unless you otherwise specify). If you use hassios:// (adding an s) to the end, then you use the https protocol on port 443 (unless otherwise specified).

So the same URL's above could be written using a secure connection/port as:

  • hassios://{host}/{access_token}
  • hassios://{user}:{pass}:{host}/{access_token}
  • hassios://{user}:{pass}:{host}:{port}/{access_token}
  • hassios://{host}/optional/path/{access_token}
  • hassios://{user}:{pass}:{host}/optional/path/{access_token}
  • hassios://{user}:{pass}:{host}:{port}/optional/path/{access_token}

The other thing to note is that Home Assistant requires a notification_id associated with each message sent. If the ID is the same as the previous, then the previous message is over-written with the new. This may or may not be what your goal is.

So by default Magic Receipe will generate a unique ID (thus a separate message) on every call. If this isn't the effect you're going for, then define your own Notification ID like so:

  • hassio://{host}/{long-lived-access-token}?nid=myid
