Hi @Heszi, Thank you very much for your feedback šŸ™‚ Unfortunately itā€™s not possible as per Homey policy regarding integrations with device APIs. ---

It seems like in the last update (v **29.0.0** ), the vertical air-flow option is broken? ![Screenshot 2024-01-09 at 13.07.38](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/6/e658c9fcc66a30170f852c73d9a2b801672b6a69.png) ```auto Invalid capability (homey:app:com.mecloud:vertical) value type.

Hi @DavydeVries, Thanks for raising it: I can reproduce. I think the bug is even older because v29 shouldnā€™t have change this. Iā€™ll have a look tonight, and keep you updated. Kind regards ---

@DavydeVries, @Cyril_Hendriks, if you make some tests, youā€™ll see that actually the flow works, but for some reason a method from Homey does not work as expected: it makes the job but raises an error. I will create a workaround in the next release. ---

@DavydeVries, @Cyril_Hendriks: fixed in the next release, available as a test version here: [MELCloud App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.mecloud/test/) Warning: cards does not need to be recreated, however some flow values may need to be updated. ---

Thank you @OlivierZal . Just one question, if I set the horizontal vane to ā€˜autoā€™ in my flows, it is ignored and remains in the previous state. Any other horizontal vane value gets updated properly, only the ā€˜autoā€™ setting not. For vertical vane, everything works perfect now šŸ™‚ ---

Hi @Cyril_Hendriks, Actually this behavior is not handled by my app but by MELCloud itself, on which my app relies: if you go to the official MELCloud app, youā€™ll also see an ā€œautoā€ option for horizontal vanes ā€“ whatever unit model you have. I guess that some unit models have this ā€œautoā€ mode, but if they donā€™t have it, the MELCloud app fallbacks to the previous direction. As far as I know, the vertical vanes of all the unit models support an ā€œautoā€ mode. I hope it answers your question šŸ˜Š Kind regards ---

Stupid from me indeed, my unit doesnā€™t support an auto functionā€¦ Thank you for the clarification! ---

Since yesterday, I cannot login the Melcloud app nor the webbrowser. The Homey Melcloud app still works. I get this message: We have detected excessive traffic from your account, your access to the service has been limited for a few hours. I called Mitsubishi support and they say that Mitsubishi blocked products like Homey and Home Assistant. Does anyone face this issue as well? ---

Same for me. Control from Homey app still works but the other services (like value sync from device, reportsā€¦) seem to be broken. I will reduce the sync frequency but such an adjustment is complicated to test without any technical info. ---

Hi @Dag_Gulbrandsrud @KWallinā€™s issue is that its horizontal mode is ā€œwideā€, what the code does not take into account. The fix is in progress: do you confirm you have ā€œhorizontalā€ in your error message? otherwise the issue is different and I will need a screenshot and/or diagnostic logs from your Homey. ---
