Choose a tag to compare

@WJDDesigns WJDDesigns released this 16 Dec 15:04

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • JWT Authentication Pro compatibility - Full support for JWT Auth Pro plugin with token refresh mechanism
  • Fixed token expiry detection - Now correctly parses JWT token expiry from the token itself (supports 180+ day tokens)
  • Fixed 202 status handling - Properly handles HTTP 202 'Accepted' responses from JWT Auth Pro
  • Added rate limiting support - Handles HTTP 429 responses with proper Retry-After delays

✨ Improvements

  • Added retry logic - Automatic retries with exponential backoff for transient failures
  • Improved token refresh - Better handling of refresh tokens with JWT Auth Pro format
  • Reduced logging noise - Routine polling now uses debug level (quiet logs in production)
  • Better error recovery - Clears stale tokens after 3 consecutive failures to force fresh authentication

🔧 Root Cause

The integration was defaulting to 1-hour token expiry when JWT Auth Pro doesn't return expires_in in the response. This caused unnecessary token refresh attempts every 55 minutes, leading to intermittent connected/disconnected status.

The fix parses the actual JWT token to extract the real expiry time from the exp claim.

📦 Installation

Update via HACS or manually replace the custom_components/ultra_card_pro_cloud folder.

⚠️ After Update

Users experiencing issues should:

  1. Remove the integration
  2. Restart Home Assistant
  3. Re-add the integration with their credentials
