Connection to Home Assistant WebSocket server fails

[bphermansson]

I use the "Esp8266-Client" as base to get data from a Home Assistant server. I changed my Wifi credentials, and as HA needs a token I added this line:

client.addHeader("Authorization", "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc<cut>"); But the connection fails :

connected with BrandstorpWifi, channel 6
dhcp client start...
..ip:192.168.1.189,mask:255.255.255.0,gw:192.168.1.1
Connected to Wifi, Connecting to server.
Not Connected!
pm open,type:2 0

I've tried different formats for the url, but no success. Any ideas?

Weird.. Can you share more of the connection code? Also you can try to turn on more verbose board logs

Ok, I made a simple example and set debug level to HTTP_CLIENT. The code:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ArduinoWebsockets.h>

const char* ssid = "BrandstorpWifi";
const char* password = "hidden";
const char* websockets_server_host = "http://192.168.1.10"; 
const uint16_t websockets_server_port = 8123; 

using namespace websockets;
WebsocketsClient client;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  for(int i = 0; i < 10 && WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED; i++) {
      Serial.print(".");
      delay(1000);
  }
  if(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      Serial.println("No Wifi!");
      return;
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to Wifi.");

  client.addHeader("Authorization", "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiIwYWNlYTYwMmQwNWE0YWJlYjQ3NGFmODk1Y2Nj6<cut>");

  bool connected = client.connect(websockets_server_host, websockets_server_port, "/");
  if(connected) {
      Serial.println("Connecetd!");
      client.send("Hello Server");
  } else {
      Serial.println("Not Connected!");
  }
}

void loop() {
  if(client.available()) {
      client.poll();
  }
  delay(500);
}

Serial output:

This curl command works:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiIwYWNlYTYwMmQwNWE0YWJlYjQ3NGFmODk1Y2NjZTIxYyIsImlhdCI6M<cut>" http://192.168.1.10:8123/api/

{"message": "API running."}

Sorry for the delay. Looks like you are requesting to /api in your curl script but to / in your arduino code...
