I’m having to reinstall Garadget after moving and creating a new Home Assistant server. What I can’t figure out is how to find my API access token for the cloud controller at Particle.

This used to be available via the web app by hacking the in-memory JavaScript variables, but I see the library has become more secure (yeah!) and that a new token is used each time… this leads me to believe it is using OAuth simple bearer tokens (maybe?).

I can’t seem to find instructions for generating an API token for accessing the cloud API through the Home Assistant integration.

Any help would appreciated.
