@danstreeter Thank you for the offer, but I think I have solved the problem. I am currently testing the solution. It looks like Eufy is now using HTTP/2 and the library I used does not support it yet.

Eufy has made some changes to its site, which now often results in HTTP errors (204). I have seen that the entry endpoint in the Eufy app has changed. I am trying to understand what has changed and how to get everything working again.

That is the disadvantage of no open API… 😦
