pyTibber always loses tibber connection after some time

[christoph623]

I have a simple script that connects to tibber server and print my energy consumption forever.
Always after around 30 Minutes, sometimes more or less the script loses the connection and never succeeds in reconnecting again.
When i kill the script and start it again it will again work for something like 30 Minutes.
Any Ideas how i can improve the behaviour ?

I have the same problem. Were you able to solve it?

[christoph623]

No, I did not solve it, no idea. I hope Daniel will have an idea what to do when he updates the code next time ..

I have the same problem as well.

On my side it seems the session was closed somehow and I do not find a recovery strategy in the code to handle that situation:

The same problem here. After some time the connection closes and all internal retries will not work and it loops then with a retry connect with 1200s delay which never ends. Any help is appreciated!

I am facing the same problem. The real-time web socket connection stops after running a few minutes. Is there a rest API to get the realtime data without the web socket?

[reinhard-brandstaedter]

I rather wanted to "tweak" the tibber pulse to either report to my own MQTT broker to get direct access to live data or have my existing smartreader header send to tibber (I'm not a fan of using any internet services outside my house for home automation). But I gave up on that idea after a whole day trying.
So I ended up here.

So, same problem pyTibber doesn't have a reconnect strategy it seems for live data. It seems one must handle this in their own code, sigh.

Same problem here... as a workaround i automatically redeploy my containers, but i'd rather not have to do this. Did anyone find a solution?
