Cookie Expired message. Getting captcha.

[thesoftwarejedi]

I've followed your instructions. Sure enough, I'm getting the captcha from my hass.io. So I used the cookies.txt extension to put the cookies file where specified. However, it tells me "cookie expired. logging in again". Then gets the captcha again.

I don't get the captcha locally in any browser, not in incognito, not when clearing cookies and all app data, not when disabling javascript, etc. I saved the cookies from a fresh login with cookies disabled. I'm on the same IP as the hass.io.

It appears the copied cookies are no good for another client? Doesn't make sense.

Any ideas?

You might try using Firefox and the cookies.txt extension -- Some Chrome users have reported success by switching to another browser.

I had the same problem exporting the cookie from my Windows machine via Chrome. I installed a fresh copy of Firefox and the cookies.txt plugin and it worked great.

@thesoftwarejedi I had a similar issue. I'm in the UK so found I needed to change the alexa_remote_control.sh file. There are 3 commented out sections. Uncommenting .co.uk and commenting .com fixed it for me.

I had the same issue with Chrome. Switching to Firefox fixes it.
