I tried many time to replace the new access token from Garadget garage cloud login but every time I login and logout. The access token is changed all the time. Does anyone has the same issue and know how to fix this issue. I had my garadget garage device working before with homekit using Siri to control but I didn’t know access token is expired like 90 days. Any advices are welcome.

Now it is possible to generate a token that does not expire. You can do it via the Garadget’s login form as before or directly through Particle call.

How do I go about generate token not to expire using Garadget’s login form. Every time when I logout and login back in. The access token is not the same. Second, I using the config.json file to setup homebridge-garadget-plugin for my device. what is the correct format to use for generating token not to expire. Here is the sample of the config.json example out there.

{
“bridge”: {
“name”: “Homebridge”,
“username”: “CC:22:3D:E3:CE:39”,
“port”: 51826,
“pin”: “031-45-154”
},

“description”: “Garadget as an accessory.”,
“accessories”: [{
“accessory”: “Garadget”,
“name”: “Garage Door”,
“cloudURL”: “https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/”,
“deviceID”: “<>”,
“access_token”: “<>”,
“bypass”: “0”,
“args”: “{STATE}”
}],
“platforms”: [

]
}

Thanks.

Please see this post for explanation of how to get the token from the web app. To generate non-expiring token, please make sure to use the link in my previous post (one with ?expires_in=0 parameter).

I’m not familiar with homebridge setup, but from its look the token goes on the right side of “access_token” in double quotes. Also for valid JSON use the regular double quote characters (") instead of (“ and ”).

Hello,
I tried all the options you last posted and I still get the error. Not sure what else to try or set.

[Garage Door] Error getting state: null
[Garage Door] This means your access token expired. Replace in config.json

Thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible to add login function to grab access token each time? It looks like Hook provides an option to do that. Having same issue with token constantly changing.

This login link generates the token that doesn’t expire. Please give it a try.
