Doesn't seem to work anymore with HA 2022.3.1

[si458]

I've created a long access token, set my url, port and new token,
then added a single switch entity
BUT the app says connection error
BUT HA also keeps saying access is denied then after 3 tries opening the app on my watch
HA bans me from logging in for 5mins?

@si458
I just read the latest release notes of home assistant. I can't find any changes regarding the RestfulAPI.
Since I can't test it (my HA is currently not working) please wait till I release version 0.6 (still in review by Fitbit). I reworked the error information.
Was the app working before you updated HA?

@si458 This is not caused by HA itself and nothing changed with the latest release. What happens is that each time you enter the connection details the app tries to connect to HA. This causes a failed connection until you put the access token too. To avoid this behavior start from the token so when you put the address, as last thing, the token will already be in the app settings and everything works smoothly

[si458]

sorry for delay, i understand the logic behind put the key in first, however the app still isnt working, it just keeps saying 'connect error' and my HA displays a message saying 'unauthorised access' every time i open up the app on my versa 2 even through the token is correct, same with the server url and port?

[smirko-dev]

@si458 Did you copy&paste the key correctly (sorry for that stupid question)? Other people old me about issues doing that. In such cases not the whole key was copied which would leads to error. Also check for trailing whitespaces. Did you enable the Rest Api in your HA?

[si458]

@smirko-dev i have deleted my old key, then created a new key, copied it into my Paw app on my laptop, queried the API, and got results from https://myhomeassistantwebsite.duckdns.org:8123/api/states no problems!
so i know the key works,

but if i set it in the fitbit app, the app says 'connect error' and HA then shows a notification saying 'Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 148.xxx.xxx.xxx (148.xxx.xxx.xxx). See the log for details.'

and ive checked my homeassistant.log file and its the same there '2022-03-05 16:56:51 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.ban] Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from 148.xxx.xxx.xxx (148.xxx.xxx.xxx). (Fitbit/3.55 Android/31' so the must be something thats different?

[si458]

@smirko-dev i have just remembered i have my own developer account 😆,
so ill try copying your repo and building it on my watch and see what happens from the console.log

[smirko-dev]

Let me know about your investigation. Since I don't know how to help, I'm curious about the problem/solution :)

[si458]

@smirko-dev very weird? it works? but ive found a BIG bug 😞

for some reason when changing the settings in the app, it doesnt send the new data to the app on the watch,
YOU MUST HAVE THE APP OPEN ON THE WATCH WHEN CHANGING THE SETTINGS FOR THEM TO APPLY!

e.g: i set it all up with the app closed on my watch, but the watch just receieved 'localhost' as the server url?
so i went into the settings and then re-saved the URL and then the watch recieved that url, and when i open the app back up again after 1min of it being closed, it received the correct URL ?

its also annoying because if you enter the entities, one by one by one, the watch app must be open, as i added 3 switched in, but they where not being sent to the watch, so i had to delete them one by one and then re-add them by trying them in again one by one

im still looking into why it isnt sending the correct url on first start up even if you have setting set?

[si458]

little debug log for you,

1. installed app
2. it autolaunched app, which i then closed straight away
3. i launched settings app, set my details, and open/closed a few times
4. launched app on watch,
5. it then sends localhost back and forth for some reason?
6. closed/opened app a few times
7. launched app, then launched settings and modified url
8. it then sent the correct url
9. again closed/opened app a few times and it was sending backand forth the correct url

@si458
Thanks for that feedback and trying out so fast.
As I wrote in the docs, I just tested it by simulation. That means your use case is so far unknown to me. I will check the Fitbit SDK docs for that even though most of the functions are based on Fitbit example code.

[si458]

@smirko-dev its perfectly fine, i love the little app!
but it might also explain why i keep getting the 'connect error' because its not sending the token correctly to my watch unless i have both settings and the app open at the same time!

[si458]

@smirko-dev also another weird bug, the state doesnt get updated?
e.g. i added a switch which says OFF, so i click it and i see in the logs it sending the turn_on state and it turns on,
but the watch doesnt update its state or even check its new state?

@si458
I tried to fix the bug. Can you check
#16?

[Saviq]

I had a similar problem and having used the debugger realized that settings retrieval is what's breaking. Even though in the Fitbit App I had the correct settings, HA Remote was reporting default values.

When I went through the settings top to bottom again, opening and saving them, HA Remote finally connected OK.

I then reproduced it with v0.6, so can confirm the released version is working.
