One of the problems with the cloud-polling integrations is that they will frequently poll the back-end APIs to get the current status of that device. A normal user might only open up the app once or twice a day and call the APIs, but these integrations will go 24/7 every 10s-5m. That can add up to a non-trivial amount of traffic. If there’s 100 users opening it up once a day, that’s not a lot of traffic, but 10 users polling every 1 minute is equivalent to 15k people doing something once a day.
I actually saw one of my integrations I used defaulted to updating every 10 seconds. I decreased that because I didn’t want to draw attention to it.
A business will look at their usage and ask why there’s more than expected traffic. They could be running their server on a potato. They could go back and support Matter, that costs money, requires skilled engineers, and cuts into profit margins.
While it sucks, that is something they could point to in a court about “economic harm”.
Hi friends. I’m new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I’ve been hung up on this for a couple of days now....
I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, but let’s break this down.
Since you say you get an NGINX page, what does your NGINX config look like? What exactly does the NGINX “login page” say? Is it an error or is it a directory listing or something else?
