Homey sent out an email earlier today that the Homey app now supports the official Gardena integration! … but it was necessary to reauthorize. After updating to Gardena App v2.0.1 and authorizing I get “Rate limited”. I have then tried to uninstall the Gardena device (Sileno Mower), uninstalled the app, restart Homey and reinstall the app. Still get “Rate limited” when trying to add a device. Has anybody been able to get this to work after the Gardena app update? Update July 24, 2020: I was able to add my Gardena device today. App version is still 2.0.1. Maybe I got lucky, or something changed outside the app. Update July 28, 2020: The mower was unavailable again (rate limited). Repairing and logging in to re-auth fixed the issue. Edit2: Straight back to the “rate limited” problem within minutes. Not impressed. ---

Nope… Same issue here. Perfekt Update 😡 My mower and my sensor… Both brings the rate limit error after the update. ---

I have the same problem. Tried uninstalling the gardena app en rebooting the Homey. I also checked if therre were firmware upgrades for Gardene. But keep getting the rate limted error. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/3/835a9a76501604eb393bf58e15c7b4da25678ba2.jpeg) ---

Same here… interesting that they don’t have managed to get API calls correct as they have an official connection now… 🤔 ---

That’s what you get when a app is a official company supported app made by a prutser 😂 For now just use a ifttt connection and what to the number hit around 10 after the . 😉 It’s a fraction slower but works flawlessly ---

U are correct. We CAN open 37 Google Home topics with almost the same questions but we can’t open a Gardena (specific rate limit issue) topic? Onzin! U did it the right way! ---

@RoyWissenburg for moderator! It’s fun to do Roy. Athom is organizing BBQ’s for moderators all the time where money is no issue at all. U also get a lot of friends when being a moderator so why not ask for the job? ---

I do appreciate BBQ and moderators. Based on the posts on the subject I’m assuming there are no moderators in the forum since this is in no way relevant to this thread? 😉 Edit: Fixed a typo ---

I have the same issue: Tried the „repair“, after that it looked ok for some seconds but then devices get failure again. Tried repair again, had to authorize again w/o effect… I deleted the app, re-installed it, re-authorized now getting „Rate Limit“ error… ---

It sounds like Athom is using a single API key for _all_ Homey users. Given that the Gardena API has very unforgiving rate limits (at most one call every 15 minutes with a total maximum of 3000 per month), that’s not going to work. Contact Athom through the [support form](https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submit-a-support-request), there’s nothing other users can do about this. ---
