Get a 404 error with the Somfy API on HC3 only (are they blocking FIBARO?)

[Joep 195]

At the moment I'm working on trying to integrate the Somfy Tahoma/Switch IO system. At my local system (with

) I can connect to the API to get a access token. When I run exactly the same code on the HC3 I get a HTTP 404 error (Page Not Found). The code isn't that complicated:

The HC3 doesn't show me the body or headers when an error occurs. In the message variable only the error code is shown (404).

 

Has someone experience with this? I tried everything, it looks like they are blocking traffic from the HC3. I tried to add another User-Agent string, but no luck.

Hey Fibaro guru's, please give your opinion on this issue.

The first thing that comes to my mind when someone tries a cloud API is... Are you 100 percent sure you are following their rules? For example, are you hitting a rate limit or forgetting about a security measure (eg confirm access on the cloud)? I guess rate limit will show as 500 instead of 404. My 1 cent worth of ideas

I'm not sure at all, but somfy is well known to block API calls from users that acces it to much.

 

Could it be, that it is blocked at (not sure how it is called(user agent level)).

So, maybe it's blocking everything from fibaro ?

 

I am using a KLF with a local API, to work with my somfy screens.

Hi Peter, good to hear from you. I follow their rules (I think). On my workstation with the web browser, wget (Linux) and from Lua code (from ZeroBrane Studio) it works. Exact code doesn't work on HC3. That is strange. I tried max 25 times, so I don't think the rate limit is the problem. When the HC3 fails and I run it again from my workstation it works.

[petergebruers 1,265]

Okay. Doesn't the HC3 have different versions of TLS enabled? Can't remember what people were talking about but I have memorised it as "not all https works on hc3". Sorry for being vague. Trying to think in different directions of what you have already checked...

Tested also. Didn't work. Connecting from HC3 to https://accounts.somfy.com works (I get the webpage in the debug console). When I add /oauth I get a 404.

I think you are missing some "secret sauce" like a cookie or a header, when I try your URL on my mac

So 302 means "redirect" to the login page (as expected, that is what you see in a browser: a login form)

 

Does the http client on a HC3 follow a 302? I am not sure.

 

I have to admit ... It is not a 404 either but I wonder what happens if you paste the URL in a "private window" aka "incognito window". Does it behave as expected?

A private window works. ?

Lua on the HC3 doesn’t follow a 302 I think. With TQAE I get one page further. Fill in the login form with code and get the 302 and get stuck there. But that was my next question. 
 

I start to see why there isn’t a integration already.

Maybe you can steal copy some ideas from the HASS integration:

Specifically token stuff in

But then you'd probably have to understand the oauthlib used.

It is not a rabbit hole, it is a black hole of code

Yes, end of this month I publish a blog about it and the full QA code.

Excellent, last year i started with some code for the KLF hub to work with SomfyIO.

 

It should work, and it did...but i am really interrested in your project since the KLF is kinda buggy ( or my *abuse* coding skills )

 

Thanks in advance!

No, I didn't, so I can't say if it works.
