Question: Internal http access not working about garminhomeassistant HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @janlang,

Due to limitations of the ConnectIQ SDK, we cannot offer support for HTTP in the app.

Documentation

It is important to note that your Home Assistant instance will need to be accessible via HTTPS with public SSL or all requests from the Garmin will not work. This cannot be a self-signed certificate, it must be a public certificate. You can get one for free from Let's Encrypt or you can pay for Home Assistant cloud. (You can install a local Nginx proxy server to manage Let's Encrypt certificates.)

You can do (almost) the same as we have done in our Trouble Shooting guide. Create a proxy that forwards HTTPS to Home Assistant HTTP. If you use Nginx as the web server you can then use Let's Encrypt for free certificates. Next you need to make sure that the hostname in the certificate can be resolved locally. E.g. adding ther hostname to your local DNS.

I am aware that another user has done something similar and got it working. See the end of this conversation trail.

Ah, I was not aware of the ConnectIQ SDK limitation. The trouble shooting thing I have seen. I hoped that there is an easier solution. Thanks for the answers!
