+## 2023-12-13: iot.controlmyspa.com missing intermediate certificate
+
+Since approximately June 2023 iot.controlmyspa.com has a new TLS certificate. This certificate is signed by digicert, but the intermediate certificate chain is not served by iot.controlmyspa.com and is also missing in the python certifi trust store. Instead of disabling the TLS certificate validation, we download the intermediate certificate from digicert over a successfully verified TLS connection and add it to the local trust store on first run. This does, however, not work for read-only runtimes like Docker containers. See https://github.com/arska/controlmyspa-porssari/blob/main/Dockerfile and https://github.com/arska/controlmyspa-porssari/blob/main/get_certificate.py for an example how to download the certificate at Docker image build time instead.
