I’ve been having trouble with this since last night. I have made too many recent config changes to really pin down the cause here. I moved HA from a VM to a real machine last night; it has never worked on the new machine, but also stopped working on the VM. But, I upgraded the VM before the move, and wasn’t really paying attention as to whether or not the integration was working at the time. I’ve done some debugging with websocat; last night it was 503-ing 100% of the time, today it 502s some % of the time, but also sometimes works. For example:
$ websocat 'wss://rt2.ambientweather.net/socket.io/?api=1&applicationKey=<working app key>&transport=websocket&EIO=3'
websocat: WebSocketError: WebSocketError: Received unexpected status code (502 Bad Gateway)
$ websocat 'wss://rt2.ambientweather.net/socket.io/?api=1&applicationKey=<working app key>&transport=websocket&EIO=3' -v

It seems like they might be having some server trouble, but because I have changed so much in my setup at about the same time any downtime might have started, I can’t blame them for sure.
I poked at this a little more and am seeing some signs of life from the rt2 .ambientweather .net server:

I tried some aioambient test scripts against rt. ambientweather. net and it worked, so I think it’s server problems. Unfortunately, the rt2. ambientweather. net host is hard-coded in aioambient, so if that’s the solution, we need to PR that repo, then PR home assistant to have them upgrade the version of aioambient.
