Home Assistant Integration

Open your Home Assistant instance and start setting up a new integration of a specific brand.

After installation, setup the integration via the web UI like any other integration. When prompted, provide the following:

HTTPS Connections:

  • URL: Your UptimeKuma instance url (i.e. https://myuptimekuma.mydomain.com)
  • Port: (Generally 443 if running behind reverse proxy)
  • User: Your uptimekuma Username
  • Password: API Key (UptimeKuma > Settings > API Keys)
  • Verify SSL: (Generally checked)

HTTP Connections:

  • URL: Your UptimeKuma instance url (i.e. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
  • Port : 3001
  • User: Your uptimekuma Username
  • Password: API Key (UptimeKuma > Settings > API Keys)
  • Verify SSL: Unchecked

Troubleshooting

If you are having issues connecting, make sure you can successfully connect to http(s)://your_uptimekuma.url/metrics using a private browser window. There have also been reports of non-ssl instances not being entirely reliable. It is recommended to use a valid SSL certificate. This is made easy by projects like NGINXProxyManager, Traefik, Caddy, and others.
