BUG - The integrattion doesn't work anymore after update of Home Assistant

Describe the bug
The integration worked fine and I am really happy with it. Today I updated HA and it just found out the inegration doesn't work anymore. The account is not locked out.
I think it might has something to do with the update?

This will have just been because you did a restart of home assistant nothing to do with the upgrade. When you restart home assistant or the integration it re-authenticates and generates a new cookie so it's probably that the API is blocking again or they've blocked your account.
As I keep telling everyone - grott is the way to go here: https://github.com/muppet3000/homeassistant-grott

Hi @muppet3000 ,
Thanks for you reply. Unfortunaltly I run HA on a server which runs un HA OS.
So no windows, so I can't run Grott if I believe to collect the data. Otherwise I would love to do that.
I have no other windows server or something that is always online.

@slingshot74 No problem to install Grott in HAOS
but then in my case muppet3000/homeassistant-grott#62

[slingshot74]

Oke so you don;t need a windows machine or run docker to host thhe python part to collect the data?

In the documentation here it says you need windows or linux to host grott

@slingshot74 - I recently updated the documentation with steps on how to configure the grott 'addon' for HassOS users: https://github.com/muppet3000/homeassistant-grott/blob/main/docs/setup/grott.md#grott-add-on

I recommend reading through all of the 'prerequisites' documentation though: https://github.com/muppet3000/homeassistant-grott/blob/main/docs/prerequisites.md
