Hi,

@tkoeberl Hi, looks awesome. Cant get mine to work though.
Did git clone https://github.com/tkoeberl/MMM-homeassistant-sensors.git in the modules folder. I can see a folder called MMM-homeassistant-sensors in the modules folder.

The config looks like this

{
  module: 'MMM-homeassistant-feed',
  position: 'top_left',
  config: {
    url: 'http://URL:8123/api/states?api_password=mypassword',
    title: 'HA',
    prettyName: 'true',
    stripName: 'true',
    values: ["sensor.olkyl_temperature"]
  }
},

And it’s nothing there. Like the module is not there at all.

If i change

    module: 'MMM-homeassistant-feed',

to

    module: 'MMM-homeassistant-sensors',

I loads and i just get “Error fetching stats”.

Any idea what i might have done wrong?

@danielgr sorry, the first one was a mistake by me. Updated the readme accordingly.

About the “Error fetching stats”:
Just set a password for my API an it works like a charm. You have some special chars in your password?
If you point your browser to the url you can find the string?

 "entity_id": "sensor.olkyl_temperature"

@tkoeberl
Wierd. Nope, just small letters and numbers. Yeah if i use the URL and go to http://URL:8123/api/states?api_password=mypassword i can see everything.

EDIT. Also, http://URL:8123/api/states/sensor.olkyl_temperature?api_password=password is working fine from my browser.

@danielgr https instead of http? Are you able to wget the page from your Mirror?

[danielgr]

@tkoeberl Doh. DNS issues on the MM. Solved.

Thanks!

Hi. I have same problem with “Error fetching stats”.
Can you show your DNS config on MM?

Is it possible to run Hassio on the same Magicmirror image? I just want to be able to run Hassio in the background.

Me too.

I had no DNS-server at all. Changed to my domain controllers IP who’s the DNS-server in my network and it worked. Can your MM resolve the address to your Home Assistant?

I change from https to http and the problem solved for me. Thanks for a great module

Hi, I have it working below is the code and a screenshot. It’s taking to an AM2302 Temp/Humidity Sensor connected to a NodeMCU running Tasmota and using MQTT to talk to HomeAssistant. See Dr Zzs video for the NodeMCU/D1mini setup.

Dr Zzs Tasmota + D1mini (or Sonoff) - Temp & Humidity, ws2812 LEDs, and Motion Detection

 {
  module: 'MMM-homeassistant-sensors',
  position: 'bottom_right',
  config: {
      		url: 'http://hassio:8123/api/states',
      		prettyName : 'true',
      		stripName: 'true',
      		values: ["sensor.humidity", "sensor.temperature"]
    		}
  },

Any chance this will work with https ?
I’m receive the same error “Error fetching stats”

I can see the attributes if I browse to
https://IP:8123/api/states/sensor.name?api_password=PASSWORD

[skippy_oz]

I have it working with HTTPS :grinning_face:

Change the url to match what you have for HA

{
    module: 'MMM-homeassistant-sensors',
    position: 'bottom_right',
    config: {
          url: 'https://username.duckdns.org:8123/api/states',
          prettyName : 'true',
          stripName: 'true',
          values: ["sensor.humidity", "sensor.temperature"]
        }
  },

You will need to modify the node_help.js file for this module change the below line of code /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-homeassistant-sensors/node_helper.js

request({ url: url, method: 'GET' }, function (error, response, body) {

To the following and change the api-password to what you have set in HA it’s about line 12.

  request({ url: url, headers: {'x-ha-access': 'api-password'}, method: 'GET' }, function (error, response, body) {

It’s working it looks like it takes a bit longer to get the data as I think the atentication takes some time.
