Anyone else unable to connect to HA with "Supervisor token not found" errors? Killed all my automations :-(

[pgray007]

I've been using Node-RED running in a docker, and HA in its standard VM, happily talking via node-red companion for at least a year.

My Node-RED updated to Version 3.0, and now my HA-related nodes are unable to connect and on NR startup I get these three errors:

6 Aug 19:52:06 - [error] [server:Home Assistant Connect] Supervisor token not found.
6 Aug 19:52:06 - [error] [webhookrelay:76652f56.8700a] No Webhook Relay token key set
6 Aug 19:52:06 - [error] [webhookrelay:76652f56.8700a] No Webhook Relay token secret set

On the HA side, I'll get:

2022-08-06 14:51:35.432 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.websocket_api.http.connection] [139999888081344] Error handling message: Unauthorized (unauthorized)

Clearly this is some sort of login problem and some token gets generated somewhere, but I can't figure out where or how to fix.

What's odd is that if I change the HA configuration in a node red icon and UNCHECK "Using the Home Assistant Add-on" and populate a key, I can connect to HA, although this breaks some of my automations since the entity names seem to differ slightly when using the Add-On vs. not using the add on.

If I think recheck "Use the Add-On" it seems to work for some period.

Things I've tried:

1. Restart HA and Node-Red in various orders/combinations
2. Redownloaded the Companion in HACS (although I haven't tried deleting and re-installing) followed by various reboots
3. Creating a "credentialSecret" in my Node Red configuration based on another thread that seemed to show a similar problem
4. Did a rain dance, sacrificed a chicken, and said "Candyman" three times

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated since 100% of my automation (and there's a fair amount) is in NR. Thanks!!!

If you're running the NR add-on, it sets an environment variable SUPERVISOR_TOKEN which the NR HA nodes use to connect to the add-on proxy. The "Supervisor token not found" error is thrown when the node can't find that environment variable. If this continues to happen after a reboot of the NR add-on you might want to ask in the add-on repo.

I can connect to HA, although this breaks some of my automations since the entity names seem to differ slightly when using the Add-On vs. not using the add on.

If you connect to HA using the add-on proxy or directly your entity ids are not going to be different.

If I think recheck "Use the Add-On" it seems to work for some period.

It works for "some period"? What stops working? What do your NR logs show?

[zachowj]

The custom component has nothing to do with allowing NR to connect to HA.

[zachowj]

The global variables don't get populated until NR has connected and authorized with HA.

If you are seeing NR connect to HA in the HA logs then your issue is with the access token. Are you creating that and putting it in the server config node in Node-RED?

Followed you instructions exactly and deleted all my long-lived tokens for good measure and created a new one.

NR:
10 Aug 17:15:27 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://server:8123
10 Aug 17:15:32 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://server:8123
10 Aug 17:15:37 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://server:8123
10 Aug 17:15:42 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://server:8123
10 Aug 17:15:47 - [info] [server:Home Assistant] Connecting to http://server:8123

Verified I can ping and NSLOOKUP server from the NR command line. Both are on same subnet.

Can you post a screenshot of your server config?

[zachowj]

Here's a flow to test your websocket connection Home Assistant.

1. Edit the "enter access token here" node and paste in an access token.
2. deploy
3. In the debug window you should see
   
4. After the auth_ok is received inject the "get config" and it should respond with your server config
