Hi not sure if you even remember you wrote this code but I have been working on javascript version for controlling my garage door and I wondering how you found the endpoints?

On thing I noticed recently with the new backend, is a failure of the add-on to reconnect after a connection error.
If the backend goes off-line, the logs indicate an incorrect password and completely stops trying to connect. There probably needs to be improved error detection with feedback to the calling software indicating the type of failure (No response from host, invalid password/user, invalid url, etc) allowing for a "smarter" decision on retrying. Currently, the only path to recovery in home assistant is to reboot HA and hope the backend is alive.

Probably more of an enhancement than a "bug".

I am trying to implement these functions in JavaScript. I am not a Python expert and cannot follow the code. Do you have simple examples of the GET and POST commands that are sent to the server?

Recently something has changed with the infrastructure (around November 2021)? When connecting to the API it now always reports the door closed, no longer accepts open/close commands, shows the door "connected and online", and appears to throw the garage door offline from the phone app perspective. When ever I issue commands via this tool the phone app immediately shows the opener offline... requires rebooting the door OR resetting the wifi connection to get it back.

Thoughts? How can I assist?
