Active alerts not working?

[soeters]

Hi all,

In an infinite loop i'm checking for alerts each 2 seconds with:

myring.update_dings()
if myring.active_alerts() != []:
...

But when I press the ring, no alert is coming through (it does on the official app). Am I missing something? What is the definition of an active alert?

I have found if you are hitting the endpoint too often it will fail to grab active alerts. Personally adding a 5 second sleep seems to work best in my testing, but results may vary.
