first of all thanks very much for this awesome plugin!
After installing and configurating the plugin, I always got the following error at the start of homebridge:
[Velux-Bridge] Could not retrieve api key. Status 400
Doing further restarts of homebridge even locked my Velux account for 10 minutes.
Digging deeper I found that the api is responding with: {"error":"invalid_grant"} Not understanding why that is the case, I went further and intercepted the api calls of the Velux Active iOS app with httptoolkit. There I found the issue with my password. I was using a + symbol in my password and for the api calls this symbol needs to be encoded to %2B.
As a work around I just replaced the + with %2B in the plugin config.
This has been the only issue for me, but in general I assume that almost all symbols in the password string (except -) need to be encoded for the api.
Happy that my rolling shutters are now connected to homebridge,
