Here's a full recap of what we've found with Skylark's servers this week - https://t.co/7MRMOktVqO I'm very sorry for the hassle this has caused everyone, and am working to prevent this happening again.

@Dotcosmic1 We've restored partial service, but things are still a bit shaky. Holding off sounding the all-clear until we're sure.

[Skylark @SkylarkApp]

@Dotcosmic1 Hi Darren, yes, please shoot us a note at [email protected], and I'll get you sorted out. 👍

@bichoo99 Hi Shashwat - I just responded to your support ticket, and will happily refund you. I'd love to give a concrete ETA, but this is an issue with the core functionality of the app. I will share an update by the end of the week.

@brianrobles99 Unfortunately, no, not yet. This is an issue with the method via which Skylark authenticates with the manufacturer's API, which is core functionality to the app. I will share an update by the end of the week.

@james_fryuk Much as I'd like to, I cannot provide a concrete ETA. This is an issue with the method via which the app authenticates with the manufacturer's API, which is core functionality to the app. We're looking for an alternative, and I will update by the end of the week.

@IvoBalk @mappfia Please stop doing this, all it does is unnecessarily clog up our communication channels, and divert our attention from solving the problem. We know there's a problem, and we're working on it - no-one wants Skylark to work again more than us.

[Skylark @SkylarkApp]

@IvoBalk I've just sent out an update via email. In short, we know this is an issue, and are working on it. I can't give a solid ETA until we know what the fix is, but this has our attention. If you'd like a refund, please contact me - [email protected]

@fairky Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! 🤓👍

@grahambeale Nope, def not you. Changes in the Nest API have always been a bit of an existential threat to Skylark. Am working to find a way to keep the app viable, but the IoT landscape is difficult to navigate smoothly without lots of money & dev expertise.

[Skylark @SkylarkApp]

@nigehammond Hi there. I don't have any new info to share at the moment, hence no update. This appears to be a serious issue with the way Skylark authenticates with Nest, so it won't be a quick fix, unfortunately. I hope to have more info next week.
