Discontinuation of Old Cloud API and Upgrade to New API #556

Open schemers opened 6 months ago

schemers commented 6 months ago

Hello! I just updated to v10.2.2, and upon restarting the child bridge I received this email sent to my Meross account's email address.

I'm wondering if this is something you are aware of and/or something I should be concerned with.

If they are potentially going to block 3rd party platforms, I'm wondering if I can keeping using the plug-in by forcing local and not updating the firmware on the openers (they are currently up to date).

thanks!

Dear user,

Thank you for your continued support and trust. According to our terms of service, we would like to provide you with a notification and guidance regarding the discontinuation of our old services and the upgrade to our new services.

  1. Reason for service discontinuation and upgrade:

This update aims to enhance user experience, improve data security, and ensure our services can adapt to the evolving technological environment.

  1. Service discontinuation and upgrade actions:

We plan to discontinue certain cloud interfaces at 2024-01-01 Pacific Time and only maintain and support the upgraded versions of the interfaces.

  1. Scope of impact:

This discontinuation will affect certain functionalities of the old app versions, including (login).

  1. Actions required:

1) To ensure you can continue using our services smoothly, please upgrade to the latest version of the app before the interface discontinuation date. Any app version older than Android V2.26.0 or iOS V2.22.0 will no longer allow login and access. The new app version will include performance optimizations, security improvements, and exciting new features that you will surely enjoy. 2) If you are already using the latest version of the app, no further action is needed. 3) If you are using third-party platforms not authorized by Meross to manage our devices, we cannot guarantee their compatibility with our new cloud interfaces or the security of your devices and data. Please switch back to our official services, as stated in our terms of service, to ensure proper functionality.

  1. Upgrade steps:

Please go to the application store (App Store or Google Play) to update our app to the latest version. If you have enabled automatic updates, no manual action is required as the system will handle the upgrade at the appropriate time.
