This component uses the exact same api and call methods as the app, albeit in an unsupported manner. It's not using a local connection to your eight, so if the app works, this should work.

I do occasionally see connection errors as well in my instance, but since the component reestablishes the connection on each update is should only affect the data for that particular attempt. It does however need to be able to connect initially obviously or it won't be able to complete the setup.

Issue seems resolved note 2 things i spotted:

1. the indentation of the username and password is double....

eight_sleep:
1234username: "user"
1234password: "pass"

2. i hit the API to check my token worked as i was getting auth issues.

Hope this helps someone
