Hello,

I’m tiring to add a local instance of home assistant to my homey bridge. both devices are on the same subnet. while trying to add home assistant from the homey app i received the following error "Error:Timed out after 3000ms. i was able to access my hosted home assistant without issue.

has anyone resolved this?

You don’t need Homey bridge, while it cannot handle local wifi connections other than the one to your router 🥴  
You’ll need to add the internet address of your HA instance, and pair it with your Homey cloud app. It’s a cloud-2-cloud connection…

Follow the link, or hit the `v` on the right to view my howto:

> Make sure you use the same IP address as your remote connection to your HA system It’s in HA Companion app server settings: On Homey: Very likely you should use https:// Hit “http://” to pick https:// Now enter the remote IP address from HA: Adjust the port number if applicable How to ebable HA remote access: (Curious what support advised you wink )

Yes, with HomeyPro you can use this app for local access.

> Connect to Home Assistant

…or the Athom app you are using for HomeyCloud now, just with your local HA IP address.  
But I think you will have more possibilities with the linked one 😉
