Bug: 2FA code for mobile phone never arrives

[mattheworiordan]

Describe The Bug

After entering phone number and password, I am told to check for the auth code but it never arrives

To Reproduce

Install plugin, enter phone number + password, restart Homebridge, see log stating "Check +447930XXXXXX for your validation code"

Expected behavior

Auth code is sent

Relevant log output

After rebooting Homebridge, this is what I see:

[18/01/2023, 16:45:09] [August] Input Your August email verification code into the validateCode config and restart Homebridge.
[18/01/2023, 16:45:09] Homebridge v1.6.0 (HAP v0.11.0) (Homebridge C193) is running on port 51867.
FetchError: Status 403 (undefined): undefined
Check +447930XXXXXX for your validation code

Note I obfuscated the complete phone number with XXXXXX.

--

Note: I have tried with email and password instead of phone number and password. It seems to start off better, after entering email & password in the augustId and password field I see this in the logs:

[18/01/2023, 16:57:10] [August] Input Your August email verification code into the validateCode config and restart Homebridge.
[18/01/2023, 16:57:10] Homebridge v1.6.0 (HAP v0.11.0) (Homebridge C193) is running on port 51867.
Check matt@XXXX.XXXXX for your validation code

I then receive an email with the following from August "Your August email verification code is XXXXXX"

I enter that code into the August plugin and restart Homebridge, and then get this in the logs:

FetchError: Status 401 (undefined): undefined
[18/01/2023, 16:58:13] [August] Discover Devices: TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

When I then look at my config I see that isValidated is true:

       {
            "name": "August",
            "credentials": {
                "augustId": "matt@XXX.XXX",
                "password": "XXXXXXX",
                "installId": "0f8ef282-9381-4a6b-8a86-XXXXXXXXXX",
                "notice": "Keep your tokens a secret!",
                "isValidated": true
            },
            "platform": "August"
        }

Nothing I can really do about a text message not being sent.

I would agree if I was confident the issue is because August are not sending it. When I use SMS auth with August direcrtly, I do get text messages. Anyway, you can close this issue if you want, I got it working with email in the end as I had to give up on text auth via this plugin. Thanks for your work on this plugin btw.
