Growatt blocking accounts

[TheWalrus2]

I think this the end of the Api. Growatt is locking accounts. Mine has been locked. API not working and shinapp says account locked.

Oh the positivity :P

I recommend taking a look over here: muppet3000/homeassistant-growatt_server_api#15

I recommend reading my specific comment here: muppet3000/homeassistant-growatt_server_api#15 (comment)

Use the FAQ I put together over there to set up an alternative account via the website.

Furthermore, if you switch back to using the "server.growatt.com" url (which seems to work again) it's works with the same credentials.

My original account still seems to be blocked on my phone but works fine on the website so I created myself a new login just for my phone and also one for my various automations so that one can't break another etc.

Note - my account was blocked on my phone yesterday and is unblocked again this morning.

Mine was unlocked this morning. But is locked again. As is said this could be the end of the API. Because Growatt is now blocking the accounts activly.

Only on the shinephone app, not on the website and you can just change the endpoint to use the website again.
Did you read my message from yesterday?

[TheWalrus2]

I don't think you understand the whole picture here. They activly Blocking accounts. So the API has become useluss. Website is not the problem.

[muppet3000]

I understand fine.
Just change the endpoint URL, they provide exactly the same API endpoints.

[TheWalrus2]

Oke but that does not change the blocking of accounts problem...

[muppet3000]

Other than that they don't seem to be blocking for other URLs. We'll find out I suppose.

[TheWalrus2]

Website is also off air now.

[muppet3000]

Everything has been very intermittent for the last 2 days, I suggest we just wait it out to see what changes they've got in store this time :P

I had to change the API endpoint to the original server.growatt.com as could never get the new one to work when I put my system together a couple of weeks back. Not had any account locking issues. For my use case (a Pi with a small display showing some stats) I only poll the API every 5 minutes, maybe they're stopping calls that are more aggressive. Let's see what happens over the next little while.

[muppet3000]

I reduced my polling to every 3 minutes earlier today and things stabilised (however the data that's available on the server itself has been very flaky all day, but that's a server problem).

I certainly had some rubbish figures on their normal website yesterday. All the "now" info was fine, but the "today so far" was all out.

[TheWalrus2]

I created extra accounts for app and API reader. Put the API reader on a 3 minute interval. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Can you please tell me where I change the polling time. thx
