WebAPI: Wallbox consumption sensor not updating - 401 error on wallbox proxy endpoint #217

SENEC.Home V3 hybrid, Version: 2026.5.3

Since approximately May 28, 2026, the wallbox consumption sensor (sensor.senec_webapi_wallbox_consumption) is no longer being updated. The last successful update was around 22:00 on May 27, 2026. The value is frozen at 12,522.251 kWh despite a successful charging session on May 28.

The following warning appears in the logs:
`_app_do_post_request(): Error while access
https://senec-app-wallbox-proxy.prod.senec.dev/wallbox/api/v1/systems/wallboxes/sea...

[Exception: 401, message='', url='https://senec-app-wallbox-proxy.prod.senec.dev/...']

app_update_all_wallboxes(): No valid wallbox data received
or data is not a list 'False'
`
All other local SENEC sensors (PV production, grid feed-in, house consumption, battery) are updating correctly. Only the wallbox-specific sensors are affected:

•	sensor.senec_webapi_wallbox_consumption – frozen, not updating
•	sensor.senec_webapi_wallbox_consumption_total – frozen, not updating
•	sensor.senec_wallbox_1_power – not updating
•	sensor.senec_wallbox_1_power_alt – not updating

The apparent charging power sensor (sensor.senec_webapi_wallbox_1_current_apparent_charging_power) does still record charging sessions correctly in its history.

Impact: The Home Assistant Energy Dashboard no longer shows wallbox consumption since May 28.

It appears that SENEC has changed something server-side on the wallbox proxy endpoint, causing 401 Unauthorized responses. Could this be related to a recent change in the SENEC WebAPI authentication for the wallbox endpoint?
