1. change the password of your Homey account,  
When you open homey.ink after that, it requests a new token. Then you know all went well.
2. wait until the token expires (no clue for how long it’s valid, from what I noticed it’s probably a year).

I’m no expert, but isn’t the added token what makes the URL not so simple?

I’ll change my password then. Thank you

But the token is included in the URL and it seems there’s no need to enter the password to have acess. So anyone with the URL can see the dashboard.

A serious question, are you saying this is a hopelessly insecure solution?  
I know the key here is to keep that token to myself, just like my accounts.  
I’m using it for over 2 years now and thought the (fellow) creator of homey.ink, the founder of Athom should knows what he’s doing 🙃 🫣

I have a really old Synology Nas (DS213j) and would like to run Homedash locally. I could really use some help, as I’m a complete noob 🙂  
Is this the app I need on my NAS?

If “web station” is a http server, it would be a good start.  
But Homey dash runs very well on Homey using the [Micro Web Server app](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.sdn.webserver/Micro-Web-Server/) for instance.  
See my DM.

Thanks for helping out again Peter. Appreciate all the help you give 🙂  
As I’m running low on RAM on my Homey (~18% available), I’d prefer to run it on my old NAS instead and also to extend the purpose of life for my NAS 😃

So any guidance would be very helpful.

I would also like to run Homey.ink locally on my Synology, did you manage to get this working?

No unfortunately not ☹  
I’m by far not a tech solution architect, so I don’t have the skills to finalize it

Should work while you can run Home Assistant from it as well.  
If it has a web server running, just put the files in a sub folder of the web server, and open your browser to [http://ip.address.of.Synology/subfolder](http://ip.address.of.Synology/subfolder)
