How it connects
What you need
- Long-lived access tokenCreated in the dedicated user's profile, under Security.
Network ports to open
8123/TCPWeb UI, REST and WebSocket API (HTTP, default)
Setup steps: Create a dedicated user and a long-lived token in Home Assistant
Open Settings → People → Users → Add user (turn on Advanced mode in your profile if the tab is missing), name the user as follows and give it a long random password.
dumbmonitLog in as that user, open its profile (bottom of the sidebar) → Security → Long-lived access tokens → Create token, name it and copy it: it is shown only once.
In DumbMonit, enter the Home Assistant address (for example homeassistant.local, port 8123) and paste the token.
Heads-up. A long-lived token carries every right of its user and lasts ten years: create it for the dedicated user, never your own. Home Assistant serves plain HTTP unless TLS is configured: across an untrusted network, use HTTPS.
