LaMetric "Cloud" is not supported by the LaMetric API / Servers #391

Closed mattpackwood closed 3 years ago

:mega: Notification Service(s) Impacted LaMetric

:beetle: Describe the bug Reading the documentation and talking to LaMetric it appears their API only supports Direct Notifications (to a local machine) are supported. Their API allows a developer to ask the LaMetric servers info about the hardware, not to send messages.

Suggestion - Strip out the "Cloud Mode Setup" method and add a note saying "You can also create an app for the LaMetric, then use the JSON method to post to your web / server".

I'll send LaMetric an email to their support. The thing is, when i built support for their service, the cloud mode actually existed. If' they've since removed it, then I'm not sure if they're still honouring those who made accounts and/or set it up (of it they closed it out completely).

It's possible that leaving the code the way it is, I'm just honouring backwards compatibility to those who still have access to the old cloud setup?

That makes sense, I was never able to make the cloud method work.

caronc commented 3 years ago

As an intern,i just added a disclaimer on the Lametric Wiki Page kind of cautioning people that this functionality may not exist for them anymore.

I'm going to just leave the source code in place to work with the old cloud mode (even if new users can't leverage it). I just don't want to disrupt anyone who is (even though none commented on your ticket here). No harm, no foul this way :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for all your testing though; I'm always impressed how of all the services Apprise supports, it appears you've tested most of them for yourself and shared your feedback here. Truly awesome! Don't stop this approach! :+1:
