Hi, 1. Yes the hostname (or the ip address) of your server and the CLI port number which unless you changed something should be 9090. 2a. For the system to work it needs to be reachable from the internet. Most HASSIO users use a free service called duckdns.org to keep track of their ip and route the internet requests to the hassio service. So first you need to have this service available and installed, I suggest the using the DUCKDNS form the ADD_ON store in your HASSIO config. Once you can access HASSIO from the internet, HA_Link is the name of your server without the domain part. As an example, my server may be reached by typing *https://helloworld.duckdns.org* my HA_Link value would then be *helloworld*. 2b. HA_API_Password is the password you created (or should have created) to access HASSIO. This can usually be found in your configuration.yaml file under the http: heading. The key before you go too far is first to ensure HASSIO is working on its own and is accessible from the internet. Until this works, you're dead in the water as far as voice commands, etc due to cloud service requirements. On the Github there is also a troubleshooting document '*https://github.com/ynot123/LMS_Controls/blob/master/troubleshooting.md*' (https://github.com/ynot123/LMS_Controls/blob/master/troubleshooting.md) to help during your setup. I appreciate any feedback on lack of instructions, clarification requirements, etc.. Most users to date already had working versions of HASSIO installed so less setup was required. Also, I may be offline for a few days (fishing) but will get back to any requests / questions upon my return.
