core: Google Calendar Event integration error - Authentication code expired, please restart Home-Assistant and try again

The problem

So i have done this before, on many different hardware and installations. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/calendar.google/

I got a new NUC today and made a new application in the google developers console, but i was greeted with “Authentication code expired, please restart Home-Assistant and try again”

I thought i had used an old application clientid and secret but everything was correct. I tried many times with old apps etc, but nothing worked.

Since this was a fresh install of homeassistant i didnt have a hidden .token file, so i dunno what to do.

I just tried making a new google account, with a fresh app, but i get the same message, so something somewhere needs to be refreshed. I tried deleting the database, also no help. 2021-06-04 21_24_41-Credentials – APIs Services – homeassistant calen… – Google Cloud Platform 2021-06-04 21_23_24-Konfigurasjon - Home Assistant 2021-06-04 21_23_12-config - hassio@homeassistant local - WinSCP 2021-06-04 21_25_01-Visual Studio Code - Home Assistant

@SgtBatten thanks, your brought me on the right idea. What the problem is, is that HA is change something with the timezones. I have set my configuration to the timezone: Etc/GMT. Restart HA, and it is working again.

Version | core-2021.6.3 Installation Type | Home Assistant OS Host Operating System | Home Assistant OS 5.13

Worked for me here too. In General Configuration, swapped from Europe/London to Etc/GMT, restarted HA, validated then switch timezone back to Europe/London and restarted HA again.

perfect, workaround works.

After activation, the time setting can be changed back again.

Same problem here. The notification with the code to authorize the app is received just before the “code expired” but overwritten in the gui, so by looking at the websocket traffic I could follow the link and input the code, but even that does not solve the issue.

Having the same issue.

I think I’ve figured it out now. The dev_flow.user_code_expiry returned by dev_flow = oauth.step1_get_device_and_user_codes() is a datetime object without any tzinfo. I added some extra logging and got this out of it:

2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] type(dev_flow.user_code_expiry): <class 'datetime.datetime'>
2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] dev_flow.user_code_expiry.tzinfo: None
2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] now.tzinfo: Europe/Helsinki
2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] dev_flow.user_code_expiry: 2021-08-19 20:01:06.370063
2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] dt.as_local(dev_flow.user_code_expiry): 2021-08-19 20:01:06.370063+03:00
2021-08-19 22:31:11 WARNING (SyncWorker_3) [homeassistant.components.google] now: 2021-08-19 22:31:11.213553+03:00

The dt.as_local helper assumes that the datetime object already is in the current timezone if tzinfo is None, which means that the comparison will always fail if the timezone in Home Assistant is GMT+1 or more. So anyone in the US will never experience this 😁

I’ll submit a PR with a fix.
