This message is intentional. The integration is designed for monitoring AND control of myUplink devices.

As a workaround you can create an additional account with myUplink and share access from your main account in read-only mode to your new account.. Then create API credentials (R/W) in your new account and use those in HA.

Well there is no error message saying why the authentication process was not accepted. I would expect it to indicate it needs the change permissions or support not allowing it. As it is now it took me a while and lots of trial and error to discover this was the root cause.
