outdated authentification warning

[StefanAlbertshauser]

I use my Tado products with Home Bridge. An email with the following content arrived in my inbox today: We have registered outdated requests for house data in the tado° cloud from your account. It is unlikely that these requests are from the latest versions of the tado° apps or devices. If you have installed an open source or off-the-shelf home automation controller that is not listed on our smart home integration page, or if you are still using a very old version of the tado° app, please follow the instructions at the bottom of this email.

These special requests to our tado° servers work with an outdated and insecure form of authentication (technically speaking: Username and password are appended as query parameters to each request, e.g. https://my.tado.com/api/v2/me?username=myUsername&password=myPassword)

Please note that this outdated form of authentication will no longer work from 12 February 2024.

What do we ask you to do? -If you are using smart home and building automation software that connects to the tado° cloud, please update it to the latest version or ask the software provider for a version that authenticates with tado° via Oauth2.

-If you have written your own software, you will find instructions on how to authenticate your requests correctly in this documentation. What can I do?

Best Stefan

Hi @seydx,

Is there any plans to update the authentication to Oauth2, as well as any other bug fixes?

Regards,

Paul

I'm getting this error message which seems to be related: Error: Client request error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN auth.tado.com

Plugin no longer works for me. :-(

For some reason (no changes from my side) it works again as intended. weird. but I'm glad. :-)
