AppDaemon device not showing up in Join

[ajayjohn]

I was able to successfully install and run the app. However, couldn't find the AppDaemon device showing up in my Join interface despite refreshing multiple times.

If it helps, I do have the necessary ports opened on my router and don't see any errors in my AppDaemon logs (I am running AD as an add-on in Hassio).

@ajayjohn Did you add the join API key in the secrets.yaml file, Ad is ignoring that file since some config parameters are missing

Thanks for the prompt response! I totally missed that line and was trying to troubleshoot other areas.
The actual cause was just user error on my part. I had accidentally placed the app config yaml in the appdaemon folder instead of the app folder. I was able to successfully get the device to show up 👍

This is a pretty useful app that you have created, especially for those who use Tasker, Join and HA heavily!

I do however get a connect timed out error when I try to push commands to the appdaemon device in Join. Let me try to investigate if my firewall port is indeed open and accessible.

On a related note, is there any way this app could use the proxy provided by home assistant to bypass the need to open any ports locally (Similar to how Ingress works for Hassio add-ons)?

I'm in the same boat as ajayjohn. I have it installed, I can see it in the Join app bu can't send anything as it says failed to connect to (someipaddress:1822). It says in my appdaemon that your app is running on 0.0.0.0:1822 so that's not the internal ip of my Hass instance...

I don't know how exactly things work with the hassio setup since I don't use it myself personally.
There might be couple of things which might help solve the issue,

• you need to allow the firewall port 1822 to allow traffic to your server running hassio
• expose the port 1822 on your appdaemon docker container
