⚠️ There is now an official way to connect Glow to Home Assistant via MQTT, I would suggest using that instead of the method described below. Here are the sensor templates for that (replace GLOW_DEVICE_ID with the relevant information for your device):

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Home Power"
      state_topic: "glow/GLOW_DEVICE_ID/SENSOR/electricitymeter"
      unit_of_measurement: 'W'
      value_template: "{{ (value_json['electricitymeter']['power']['value'] * 1000) | int }}"
      icon: 'mdi:flash'

GLOW_LOGIN = "GLOW_LOGIN"
GLOW_PASSWORD = "GLOW_PASSWORD"
GLOW_DEVICE_ID = "GLOW_DEVICE_ID"

GHLocalApi Update

The Gist

Until recently, the Google Home app used to communicate with the device over port 8008 (HTTP) and did not require any authentication. Everything in the unofficial documentation worked as expected.

A few days (weeks) ago, Google pushed a new update to all GH devices and all endpoints (except /setup/eureka_info) started returning 403 (forbidden) errors. The app had switched over to port 8443 and HTTPS.

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

*update: TBC, but this new might affect how easy it is to use this technique past August 2024: Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August

---

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.

Currently, there is an explosion of tools that aim to manage secrets for automated, cloud native infrastructure management. Daniel Somerfield did some work classifying the various approaches, but (as far as I know) no one has made a recent effort to summarize the various tools.

This is an attempt to give a quick overview of what can be found out there. The list is alphabetical. There will be tools that are missing, and some of the facts might be wrong--I welcome your corrections. For the purpose, I can be reached via @maxvt on Twitter, or just leave me a comment here.

There is a companion feature matrix of various tools. Comments are welcome in the same manner.
