Brand.YALE_HOME auth seems to have broken recently

[danricho]

Hi, I've recently found that I keep getting 403 to many of the API endpoints which used to work. I cleared my token cache and now I can't get passed the session creation.

My script to re-create:

from yalexs.api import Api
from yalexs.authenticator import Authenticator, AuthenticationState
from yalexs.const import Brand

api = Api(timeout=20, brand=Brand.YALE_HOME)
authenticator = Authenticator(api, "email", "XXXXX", "YYYYY",
                              access_token_cache_file="yaleAuth.txt")

authentication = authenticator.authenticate()

# State can be either REQUIRES_VALIDATION, BAD_PASSWORD or AUTHENTICATED
# You'll need to call different methods to finish authentication process, see below
AuthenticationState = authentication.state

print(f"AuthenticationState: {AuthenticationState}")

Error:

Yes its blocked https://community.home-assistant.io/t/psa-yale-home-integration-blocked-new-integration-coming/762999/17

That thread looks like it is now fixed in the latest version. I'm not using home assistant, but python direct so I will have to wait for a newer example that is compatible with the newer version of this.

Thanks for the efforts!

@danricho I had to rework my code to run on asyncio instead of threads to get newer versions of this lib working. pubnub still isn't giving me any events though. @bdraco is pubnub working at all, or will I need to migrate to using sockets instead? EDIT: i got pubnub working too now 👍
