Iā€™ve updated the link

Thanks.

But the error appears again:

Error while identifying all modules: Rest call failed: statusCode=MAXIMUM_USAGE_REACHED, message=User usage reached

After upgrading to OpenHAB 4.2.3 the netatmo binding works without problems.

Confirm, 4.2.3 solved it.

Still the same problem occurs with the Netatmo-binding Netatmo-Account:
COMMUNICATION_ERROR
Maximum usage reached. Will try reconnection after reconnectInterval seconds.

Iā€™m working with Openhab version 4.3.1 and followed all previous steps.
The binding goes online and after a while offline until the reconnect intervall goes off.

68

Iā€˜m running 4.3.0 and the core binding, and donā€™t seem to have issues with the communication.
Iā€™ll try to upgrade soon to 4.3.1 and report the status.

Iā€™m running two OH 4.2.3 instances and it works stable for me since month.
however, the one thing i noticed long time back when I had the issue as well,was the following.
innitially, i configured both of my OH instances to use the same Netatmo ā€œappā€ (same client id / secret), which finally caused this issue. after creating a unique Netatmp app (client id/secret) for each OH instance, the issue was gone. so seems like Netatmo is accepting only one unique application connectng to one Netatmo client-id/secret pair.
just thought I share this experience as it might also apply to other people having this issue.

Iā€™ve had no issues with the binding after 1 day having upgraded to 4.3.1

@glhopital Hi, Iā€™m experiencing the same issue, not sure why as the number of API calls are far below the limits (https://helpcenter.netatmo.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/28272276247058-API-Rate-Limit-clarification-request. https://helpcenter.netatmo.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/29846852785298-Inconsistent-Rate-Limits-for-Netatmo-Home-Control-API). My impression is when something wrong happens, the message from Netatmo binding is ā€œcommunication error, max usage reachedā€. And itā€™s an issue with the Binding, no with Netatmo servers, as their app is working fine. If I disable and enable again the things, everything works fine again till the next time. I donā€™t see any correlation till now, but Iā€™m still troubleshooting.

Any clue?

openhabian with OH 5.2.0.M1

update: it seems something related to netatmo WAF thresholds. Also other integrations fail: Netatmo error Maximum api usage reached Ā· Issue #158845 Ā· home-assistant/core Ā· GitHub

@ariela : this PR should handle more gracefully this API limit issue. The problem is not completely sorted but Iā€™m working on this situation.

A valuable alternative to avoid the Netatmo cloud, might be the Homekit binding. See here for some examples: HomeKit integration of Netatmo CO2 sensors

I used the netatmo binding for several years and @glhopital did a very good job. But I think that thereā€™s a huge problem on the bticino side. They have a lot of problems with their app also. So i finally gave up and switched to homekit binding and itā€™s the perfetct solution to avoid any external call. The only problem is that it doesnā€™t expose all the things included in the netatmo binding (battery status, for example) but I can live with thatā€¦

Unfortunately only V3 of the station is Homekit compatible: https://helpcenter.netatmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010155399-Is-my-Station-compatible-with-Apple-HomeKit

V3 or higher. For V3 you need an iPhone to get the pairing code, for V4 itā€™s printed on a sticker at the back of the device.
