Happy to move this to a dedicated thread, but AFAIK tokens don't have rights as such. However, upon logging out and back in with a new token, the remote is now being found.
Discussed in: Latest Astrion Firmware & RosCard Updates — Topic #40
Problem
Your Astrion Remote cannot be discovered by Home Assistant, or pairing attempts repeatedly fail. The remote may show a "No Connection" status or simply not appear in the list of available devices.
This can happen even if:
- Both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network
- You have previously paired successfully
- The Home Assistant server is running and accessible
Cause
The most common cause is a token-related issue. Long-Lived Access Tokens in Home Assistant can expire or become invalid for various reasons, including:
- Token expiration — Tokens may have a limited lifespan
- Token invalidation — Regenerating tokens invalidates previous ones
- Permission changes — Changes to HA permissions can affect token validity
- Session state — The remote's stored token may be out of sync
When the remote attempts to pair, it presents its token to Home Assistant for authentication. If the token is invalid or expired, the pairing request is rejected and the remote appears undiscoverable.
Resetting the token by logging out and back in with a fresh token resolves this issue in most cases.
Solution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Generate a New Long-Lived Access Token
In Home Assistant, go to Settings → Profile → Security. Under Long-Lived Access Tokens, click Create Token. Name it (e.g., "Astrion Remote") and copy the generated token immediately.
Log Out of Your Astrion Remote
On the remote, go to Settings → Home Assistant → Logout. This clears the current session and token.
Log Back In with the New Token
In the Astrion Remote settings, go to Home Assistant → Login. Enter your Home Assistant URL and the new token you just created. Complete the login process.
Verify Discovery
After logging in, the remote should automatically be discovered by Home Assistant. Check the Devices & Services page in HA to confirm.
Additional Troubleshooting
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, try these additional checks:
Network Checks
- Same network: Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network
- Firewall: Check that your firewall isn't blocking the connection
- DNS: If using a domain name, ensure it resolves correctly
- IP address: Try using the local IP address of your HA server directly
Home Assistant Checks
- Server status: Verify Home Assistant is running and accessible
- Integration: Ensure the Sanytron Integration is installed and enabled
- Network settings: Check that your HA instance is configured for local access
Remote Checks
- Restart remote: Settings → System → Restart
- Check Wi-Fi: Verify the remote is connected to the correct network
- Check date/time: Incorrect date/time can cause certificate validation issues
Still Having Issues?
If you've tried all the above and the remote still cannot be discovered, please:
- Provide your Astrion Remote firmware version
- Provide your RosCard version
- Provide your Home Assistant version
- Describe your network setup (e.g., reverse proxy, SSL, etc.)
