Welcome Webhook - outage?

Post by jasperhb »

Hi,

Was there a fall out of the Welcome webhook service on July 4th, 2017?

Suddenly, I no longer got events send to my Webhook URL. I tried to re-register, but still nothing. Then today I'm suddenly getting events again, which is great but makes me wonder what the issue was? :?

Should I re-register my Webhook URL with a certain interval?

Thank you.

Maybe have you been banned for 24 hours because your server did not answer to 5 consecutive webhook requests?

HTTP return codes have to always be 200 on Netatmo calls. I think all others will increment the webhook failure counter.

Thank you.

That could be it, although I can see in my log that the HTTP reponse code have always been 200. Also, I the App page did not indicate a ban.

Still, this seems to be the most feasible explanation.

My feedback would be that the documentation is insufficient, and so is the tooling around using Webhook. A bit disappointing I must say.

webhooks generally aren't reliable. They are for a few days, and can halt a few hours, come back etc.
Especially these days, as Netatmo servers are particularly slow actually.

Mine goes fine for a few days anyway

Ban indication on App page never worked for me.
On my side, all calls seem to have been ok on yesterday and today.

Hello,

Did webhooks notification rules change since last week-end?

It seems that they are now filtered to match exactly the user security configuration on the Website or in the Phone Apps.

Before, we used to receive all of them via the webhooks with no filtering at all. We were able to freely handle them or not, and it was very useful to perform custom actions (at specific time, for specific devices, event types, people and more...) without being notified and spammed on the phone application.

Could you please confirm, explain and rollback this behaviour ?

Best Regards!

Can confirm that, I only receive webhook for event that are register and notify. And connections !
So I can't filter events anymore with webhook. This was a great way to automate some stuff without getting notification, interfacing it with smart home for example.

More bugs, less feature, no communication. Thanks Netatmo !!!

So it's not something new by design ? Nice to know as having all single event is very useful on webhooks
