Elaboration on API Limits

[MikeRaich]

Dear @jwillemsen - first of all, thanks for doing all this great work. I have gone through the discussions in this forum so far, but I could not find a conclusive answer (maybe just too stupid to find).

I have just setup the integration for my Daikin devices and I have come across the daily API limit. I wonder, if you could elaborate a bit more on how this limit is impacted by the integration:

• I assume, every pull populates the date for all my Daikin devices. Hence, adding more devices should not contribute in terms of more API calls?
• I understand, that SET commands use only one API call, the new value is written internally to the HA entities (assuming that the API call goes well). So there is no immediate feedback from the API on the execution status?
• what happens, if the daily limit is reached? Are you stopping the communication unless the new limit becomes available? Or is this somehting I have to do before I invoke another SET command?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

A poll returns the data of all devices, so adding more devices will not result in more poll calls.

You will see that the value is not changed and you should see a message in the log. When the poll hits the limit you will see an issue being reported

* what happens, if the daily limit is reached? Are you stopping the communication unless the new limit becomes available? Or is this somehting I have to do before I invoke another SET command?

Polling is delayed the amount of time Daikin reports back, but for set commands you could check the daily limit, but in normal use cases with the default polling this is normally not necessary
