LLU App update required email

[sjonez]

I received this email from Abbott:

Please update LibreLinkUp1 to the latest 4.16 version of the app today. From 8th October 2025, your app version will no longer be supported as LibreLinkUp app versions that are below 4.16 will not receive glucose data from your connections anymore. To continue receiving glucose data from your connections, please update to the latest 4.16 version of the app today.

I noticed that this app emulates version 4.7 of the android app which is probably why I was sent the email - do we know if the API has changed and something is going to stop working on the 8th Oct with this integration?

I received the same mail and it smells like API or authentification changes to block third party clients like this as it becomes more and more frequent these days. That would be a disaster as I use the data to feed an Apple Watch complication and several Ulanzi displays (with awtrix) around the house.

Let's hope this is something different with no such impact.

Hello,

Sorry I have no more access to the github page and I do not use freestyle anymore, so I am not able de make upgrades.

But I think there is a fork of this integration which is maintained (available in github) Cordialement,

Hi, since today, librelink integration stopped working (I am on the kubasaw's fork) So, it seems they changed something in the API

[TekFan]

So that's it then, they did exactly what I feared: as this evening, this integration cannot connect anymore. As far as I can see, other forks and integrations like LiberView are dead in the water as well. It started at about 20H CET.

Let's hope someone still involved in one of the forks will find a solution.

Fast fix for everybody with this problem, just change the version in /homeassistant/custom_components/librelink/const.py

`PRODUCT: Final = "llu.android"
VERSION_APP: Final = "4.12.0"  # or whatever version you have
GLUCOSE_VALUE_ICON: Final = "mdi:diabetes"

to:

PRODUCT: Final = "llu.android"
VERSION_APP: Final = "4.16.0"
GLUCOSE_VALUE_ICON: Final = "mdi:diabetes"

And the intgration will work again.

you are a GENIUS !

[TekFan]

Wow, it works ! Can't believe it was so simple. I cross fingers, hoping it will remain at this level.

[jules51x]

Perhaps I'm being particularly slow tonight, but my const.py says this:

PRODUCT = "llu.android"
VERSION_APP = "4.7"
APPLICATION = "application/json"
GLUCOSE_VALUE_ICON = "mdi:diabetes"

Note the lack of : after PRODUCT and no 'Final'. Just changing the 4.7 to 4.16.0 makes no difference and applying the code as suggested fails to setup the integration following a HA reboot. Any ideas?

[bgornicki]

Any ideas?

@jules51x switch to fork that fixed authentication issues https://github.com/kubasaw/librelink but you still need to add this change. I opened a PR but not sure if the maintainer is active.

[egpall]

Thank you, working again

[dodog]

@jules51x Maybe you are using some older version. Until @gillesvs fixes it, I forked his version and updated according to the one I am using.

Try to add this new repository in custom integration in HACS https://github.com/dodog/librelink Be aware it will overwrite your original integration

[egpall]

Thank you, working again

Only change 4.12.0 to 4.16.0

Thank you! All working again now. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

[Brad823]

Thank you - I was really concerned for a while that we had lost access. Appreciate everyone's help to get this resolved so quickly.

[DSteiNeuro]

Thanks! I had to do the fork then change to 4.16.0 but success

[JesseBouwman]

Looks like I just needed to update to 4.16.0 in the VERSION_APP, no new fork necessary.

[ClockwiseCounterclockwise]

Used this fork and everything is working fine again. Thank you for taking the time to fix this!
