Hi, is anyone having sudden down time of event message push via the api?
Can you log into the Developer console? My account got the API calls exceeded flag activated on it even though I was absolutely nowhere near the limit. A few days later my login was then disabled.
Yeps, I can log in. I was even able to do a push validation, which succeeded. The API has always been mostly reliable up until now. I think I’m going to have to use HomeKit’s automation to shortcut using the GET CONTENTS OF URL action if I can’t figure out what’s going on with the API. It will definitely hinder my purchase of more Aqara products in the future. This company has poor communication.
Relying on cloud APIs which can get overloaded, shut down or revoked on the whim of a company is not something I’m keen on.
I developed an HA integration that bypasses the Aqara cloud v3 API calls/pushes and allows for local control of an M3 hub and its child devices, but it still needs a lot work, particularly in regards to the fine tuning of device definitions. And my developer account seemingly getting suspended has slowed that down.

Exactly. In all honesty I was never 100% comfortable with the API even though, as I said it’s been fairly reliable for more than a couple years.
My issue was, my developer account application was always listed as “DEMO APPLICATION”. I could never change that. And when I tried to create a new app, it’s been pending approval for those several years too.
Apart from that, occasionally push would fail and then need to be reactivated due to several push tests that Aqara performs in order to check it’s still up. Funny it requires like 1 fail an hour for 12 hours or something like that. Which doesn’t make sense because my hosting provider does not fail like that.
But alas, I’ve found a way to bypass the push and just use HomeKits built in hub scripting.
Are you using HA with a Pi?
