Using API access token

To configure this credential, you'll need to Install (opens in a new tab) Home Assistant, create a Home Assistant (opens in a new tab) account, and have:

• Your Host
• The Port
• A Long-Lived Access Token

To generate an access token and set up the credential:

1. To generate your Access Token, log in to Home Assistant and open your User profile (opens in a new tab).
2. In the Long-Lived Access Tokens section, generate a new token.
3. Copy this token and enter it in n8n as your Access Token.
4. Enter the URL or IP address of your Home Assistant Host, without the http:// or https:// protocol, for example your.awesome.home.
5. For the Port, enter the appropriate port:
   • If you've made no port changes and access Home Assistant at http://, keep the default of 8123.
   • If you've made no port changes and access Home Assistant at https://, enter 443.
   • If you've configured Home Assistant to use a specific port, enter that port.
6. If you've enabled SSL in Home Assistant in the config.yml map key (opens in a new tab), turn on the SSL toggle in n8n. If you're not sure, it's best to turn this setting on if you access your home assistant UI using https:// instead of http://.
