Thank you! How long does a pull request for an update take? Does this end up in an update with me or is this only an update with Homey/mill? ---

That depends a bit on how you installed it I think. The pull request (i.e. my proposed change to the app’s code) was accepted by @Robert_Schmidt earlier today. I don’t know when that means the update will be available via HCS (I’ve installed it from source on my Homey Pro). ---

Just to be sure: if I download the newest zip from GitHub it should include the fix? ---

Thanks again for the PR, @NickM - your help is much appreciated. HCS is still undergoing major re-development. In the meantime, follow instructions from the GitHub repo to install PCC-Alt manually, using the Homey SDK. ---

This looks similar to other reports. I hope to get some time this week to investigate. Could you send me (PM) the log contents from the app settings page? This might help pinpoint where to apply a fix. ---

Anybody else getting “Error: Authentication failed, edit credentials in app settings.”? I know the authentication details are correct. I have double and triple-checked the password. I have two accounts and can log in to both. Still getting the same message for both accounts… ---

Should’ve read above comments first. Cloning and re-installing from [GitHub - ugumba/homey-panasonic-comfort-cloud-alt](https://github.com/ugumba/homey-panasonic-comfort-cloud-alt) worked perfectly fine. ---

Thanks for this alternative! It works just beautifully with my split-unit. One question though, how would updating go about? I installed it via the CLI and all, worked fine, but now I wonder how to update? ---

Just pull any changes from GitHub to your local repo, or clone it again, then repeat the cli command to install. As long as you do not uninstall the app, all settings and devices should be remembered. ---

Hopefully, this is the right place for asking this: I get error when trying to connect with to my Panasonic acocunt.I have added the Homey Community space app to my Homey Pro 2023. 1. I have added the credentials for a new user in “Homey Community space /Configure” (the admin account didn’t work so I added a new Panasonic user with full permission in the PCC app). 2. When I create a new device, I get error according to attached image. Translated, the first lines are: “New device found, choose which devices you want to add” 1. I can see the attached error message under: “Homey Community space /Configure” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/c/7c32af36835507836f34c9a2d71bba4341130ce2.png) What am I missing? ---

Have you tested the new credentials using the phone app? Sometimes an account has to approve terms and conditions before it is allowed to authenticate. Make sure the password is entered correctly, of course. When copying and pasting, it’s easy to mistakenly include a trailing space, for example. I don’t have any other suggestions, I’m afraid. ---

By the way, I think the version available in HCS is out of date. HCS itself is pretty much defunct and under new development. For the time being PCC-alt must be installed manually using the Homey SDK CLI.
