Can't Connect to API

[RichardKeschinger]

I am seeing this on different threads/issues but i haven't found a viable solution yet.

i get this everytime i try to change the current API. is the only solution to wait?

"Cannot connect. Is the API-Key correct and the internet connection working?"

I had to use different integration

today it works. I don't know why it didn't work yesterday, but I waited 24 hours and now I was able to set up the integration..

Yea it's gonna happen everytime you hit that poll limit or whatever

FWIWI am getting:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/config/custom_components/govee/config_flow.py", line 66, in async_step_user user_input = await validate_api_key(self.hass, user_input) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/config/custom_components/govee/config_flow.py", line 32, in validate_api_key raise CannotConnect(error) custom_components.govee.config_flow.CannotConnect: API: API-Error 429: {"message":"rate limited! the limit is 10000 requests every 24 hours. X-RateLimit-Reset in Http Response Header shows the reset time."}

The funny thing here is I can fire up a quick python script and make api calls successfully without getting any limit reach or errors at all. Could there be a bug in the validation?

Edit: I suspect the api url changed at some point and they dropped the old one. The one in current documentation is: https://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api In various pieces of the code here it is: https://developer-api.govee.com

Reference: https://developer.govee.com/reference/get-devices-status

I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with the code base here to implement and test a fix myself.

Govee to MQTT is broke also. Will only work if you have Local API available on your devices. The IOT mode doesn't work.

Today it suddenly doesn't connect, changed API and neither, uninstalled and installed again and nothing
