What's a proper way to make HASS Agent work on both Windows accounts on my PC?
Hello,
My computer is my workstation and I have separate account for leisure time and for work. Now the issue is, HASS Agent is installed on the leisure account only. How do I properly make it work with both accounts?
I only really need the information from the currently logged in account. I want to change my lights based on the currently logged in account (well more than that, but its just an example)
Would the best thing to do be installing it on my other account too and then manage which one to display in Home Assistant myself?

I'm a bit rusty on this but I Think it was the satellite service that let you do that? I think that was the one that installed as a windows service and ran with adminp rivileges
I think that way you can get the current logged in user maybe? don't quote me on this one, there might be a better way

Thank you for the tip, I will check it out 🫡
Honestly, I just installed it on my other account and it seems to work without issue. Thank you 😛
HASS.Agent comes with 2 parts, the satellite and the user app. The user app can be installed many times across each user, however the satellite is installed once and requires admin rights. Most features can be done through satellite, eliminating need to install on many users however to get everything its best to install for each user.
I see, I was thinking to avoid reconfiguring sensors
Yeah satellite is better for this, but it does confuse a lot of people. So the simplest is really just to install twice
makes sense, ty 🙏🏻
