Cheers, will take a look.

I still can't find any public API documentation so may need to dig back into the app to see how the new auth process works.

Curiously I tried a friends account, which worked. I have double and triple checked that my password and other details are right. By adding some more debugging code I could see what I suspect is that past a certain point Flick prohibits use of the password method (perhaps post-password change?).

Hi - I'm also interested in this.

[codyc1515]

Still an issue.

[Pachycephalic]

Still unresolved. I'm a new Flick customer hoping to add this to my home assistant

[codyc1515]

Still current but I have moved away from Flick now and built custom integrations for those providers with energy consumption tracking.

[ZephireNZ]

Sorry for the radio silence - unfortunately I have recently moved away from Flick so can't really look into this anymore.

If anyone is willing to pick up the torch I'd be very grateful, happy to transfer ownership of the PyPI package as well.

[codyc1515]

Still current, perhaps the integration should be removed if it unmaintained now?

Stumbled across this open issue when I looked into a change in behavior of the Flick API this morning. Has been working for me for the last couple of months without any issues - using same username and password as in my android app.

The change from Flick I noticed and that broke some automation for me is that they now provide the price with 2 different attributes Generation & Network that yield the overall price in the HA Sensor
