Hi dineshravee,

Thank you for the post.

Which specific Sensor do you use? In general, the error messages says that the credentials you are using are invalid. Therefore, please double check whether the credentials used are valid and whether they have appropriate access rights.

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,
