## Port
### Port
By default your Home Assistant is using port number `8123`. But to access your instance from outside of your home network, probably you configured some port forwarding rules on you router. If you forward some other port from outside to `8123` port on Home Assistant IP, you need to use that port instead.
If you are accessing your web interface without port, then you need to try port `80` or `443` in app.
## HTTP or HTTPS
### HTTP or HTTPS
It is not required to use secure connection. Just remember: if you are accessing your web interface with http, you need to switch “Use ssl” off in app settings as well.
But if you are using ssl (accessing web interface with https://) – your certificate should be valid (not self-signed).
### SSL Certificates
The main requirement is that your SSL Certificate should not be self-signed. Most certificates from providers like Let’s Encrypt will work. There is [known issue](https://github.com/estevez-dev/ha_client_pub/issues/24) with RapidSSL certificate, but this problem is common not only for HA Client.
Using of self-signed certificate is not possible for now and this is a restriction of Flutter’s WebSocket implementation. To stay up to date with this issue solving or possible workarounds please [follow this issue in GitHub](https://github.com/estevez-dev/ha_client_pub/issues/3).
### Android
Minimum supported Android API level is 21. That’s Android 5.0 and higher.
## Authentication
Starting from Home Assistant 0.78.0 `api_password` is a deprecated way to authenticate third party apps and services. You should use long-lived access tokens instead. To make HA Client use access token to authenticate you need:
1. Go to your Home Assistant web interface and open your profile settings (just click on your user picture in the top part of left menu)

2. Scroll down to *Long-lived access tokens* section and click *Create token*

3. Give it a name `HA Client` as it will be used only for HA Client app (it is recommended to use different access tokens for different apps and services)
4. Click *Ok* and copy newly generated access token somewhere in a safe place or directly to Connection settings of HA Client
