Another post complaining about authentification

You've got to make it possible for people to access their own data properly. As has been said over and over in this forum the current authentication system is not good enough. You can't continually refresh the refresh token and have access for a long time. You've got to listen to your users.

    I refresh the refresh token every 15 minutes. Since each token lasts 3 hours, doing it every 15 minutes gives enough time to cater for system downtime at my end so that I don'y have to re authenticate from scratch too often.

    If netatmo want to reduce the load on their servers, they could let a token last longer, say 24 hours or more, requiring less refresh requests.
