The standalone Homeway add-on requires a long-lived Home Assistant access token to communicate with Home Assistant. Add-on authentication is required for Homeway features such as Google Assistant and Alexa Assistants. Here’s how to update your long-lived authentication token: If you use the CLI standalone Homeway add-on:
  1. SSH into the device running the Homeway add-on.
  2. Go to the Homeway plugin folder:
    1. cd ~/homeway
  3. Run the install script:
    1. ./install
  4. The installer will locate your add-on and guide you through setting up the long-lived access token.
  5. Done 🥳

  1. Create a new long-lived access token in Home Assistant:
    1. Go to your Home Assistant dashboard.

    3. Select the “Security” tab at the top of the webpage.
    4. Scroll to the bottom of the header “Long-lived access tokens”
    5. Click “Create Token”
