Bbox device_tracker requires authentication

[eDexiam]

The problem

This extension is querying the associated router, however the router responds with an HTTP 401 code with the following message: {"exception":{"domain":"v1/hosts","code":"401","errors":[{"name":"","reason":"Operation requires authentication"}]}}

The extension does not contain any configuration fields to add any credentials.

The BBox calls need a cookie header, so we also need a logic to refresh it when expired.

Hey guys,

We are having issues with this official integration since 2022. Seems like it's not maintained anymore. However, earion68 built a custom one. I used it since 2022.

The main goal was to solve the "DH KEY TOO SMALL" issue, but it seems that he has embodied a fix concerning the password issue too. See here, and take the link provided in the comment from @earion68, on Aug 8, 2022 :).

I installed the custom_bbox again on a fresh install, and yes, it works like a charm. @earion68, really, thank you 😄 !

My pleasure. Anyone who could help me in understanding what are the steps needed to merge this back in the official integration? I also want to mention that, though I have some Python skills, enough to mess with the integration and make it work, I am not the code owner and don't know much about the API.

Have you been able to test it yourself? I've managed to configure it and it only seems to work intermittently.

It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, for seemingly no reason.

This is the log for the device tracker but the same 400 HTTP error gets thrown when using it as a sensor.

For the config I use, here it is:

(I can't seem to copy and paste the config on a mobile device annoyingly enough)

AFAIK this is still an issue, I will try to debug the python code from @earion68's repo to see what could be causing the random exceptions.
