ChatGPT support

What level of subscription for ChatGPT do I need to use this? I have Plus account and there's no way to store the /private_token. So it appears that if connections are made thru a reverse proxy the entire url with the private token would have to be coded into the proxy server.

Maybe I've missed something but ChatGPT basically says "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" and that I need to spend $100 bucks per month so I can.

I would need more information to what installation method you are using (addon, custom component, docker, etc) and what ingress method (nabu casa, cloudflare, etc) but you can use it with any chatgpt subscription level, you add it as a plugin. You just go to https://chatgpt.com/plugins add it as a custom plugin, paste the url with the private key at the end directly into the field, give it a name, and select no auth and click save then connect. That's all there is to it, but that's if you don't have oauth enabled (which is default for us since we consider the private key as secure enough) if you have oauth enabled then just leave oauth dropdown to oauth and follow the prompts.

If you have oauth disabled then visit the link directly in your browser and you should get a little landing page with some tips on connecting. If oauth is enabled and you visit the link directly you will just get an "unauthorized" or "forbidden" or something like that.

Thank you for responding so quickly.

So I went about trying to get the integration going all wrong to begin with. I run HA on HAOS on a mini-pc, I interact with ChatGPT thru its web interface. I also use a reverse proxy to connect into my HA instance from the outside world. I got the APP installed just fine and it looked as it were connected to HA. and got the key from the log. Where everything went off the rails is that ChatGPT itself was telling me that in order to use the /private_key I needed Developer privileges on ChatGPT. Clearly wrong. probably an excellent example of RTFM on my part. I've uninstalled everything and will start over.

Thanks again.

Yeah chatgpt, and all AIs really, are fantastic at sounding very confident when giving the wrong information. The easiest way for you will be to install is to use the custom component method which is the top method on our setup page. It should give you the url you need to use to connect when you go to the devices page and you open it up.

I got it working and it's brilliant. ChatGPT was still trying to get me local access even though I don't run any LLMs on my internal network. Still it was useful to troubleshoot - so there's that. Problem was, since I also use a reverse proxy , I had to figure out which port to connect to from inside, outside - no problem.

Thanks again.

@kingpanther13 I have tjhe same problem:

I’ve installed the MCP add-on and I can see two links: a Webhook URL and a Local URL.

When I try to paste either of these links into the ChatGPT plugin/connector settings, I get an error message at the top of the screen.

What am I doing wrong?

I don’t have Nabu Casa or any other remote access service. What steps do I need to follow to get this working?

I also have a ChatGPT Plus account. Is this MCP plugin/connector available with ChatGPT Plus?

Could you explain exactly which steps I might be missing?

Once it is connected, will ChatGPT be able to both read and write data in Home Assistant? For example, could it read my dashboard configuration and make dashboard changes or other Home Assistant configuration changes through MCP?

[kingpanther13]

Well that all depends, what is the error message? Are you using the chat gpt website? If you're using the website then you need reverse proxy. Easiest way to do that is to subscribe to nabu casa, then it'll give you the link to paste in. If you're somehow using chatgpt locally, which I don't think is currently a thing but I could be wrong, then you could connect locally.

It'll work with any kind of account toi just have to have away to access it from the Internet when using chagpt. And yes once you have it set up you'll be able to read and write data, including dashboards.
