I removed the app and installed the everything again. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/8/e8358daa3ad51289de3bee75835dde1123b33f25.png) I used the credentials that I was using before (when the app worked): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/5/c591f63fd8f2ce2f3d27a929e1e9a244080de8ba.png) Then I tried to add a new device: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/874e232377f7f64ac713fc2770d79162c0246111.png) Resulting in the following error: 2024-03-26T07:54:41.410Z [log] [MyApp] MyApp has been initialized 2024-03-26T07:54:41.619Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] Driver has been initialized 2024-03-26T07:55:18.582Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] settings.unset 2024-03-26T07:55:18.585Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] resetClient 2024-03-26T07:58:42.707Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] settings.unset 2024-03-26T07:58:42.709Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] resetClient 2024-03-26T07:59:53.002Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] settings.unset 2024-03-26T07:59:53.003Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] resetClient 2024-03-26T08:00:33.174Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] onPairListDevices 2024-03-26T08:00:33.176Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] initializing client (1.20.0) 2024-03-26T08:00:33.183Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] missing token 2024-03-26T08:00:33.185Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] authenticating paros[at]live[dot]se 2024-03-26T08:00:34.320Z [err] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:aircon] login failed: ServiceError: Request failed with status code 401 at new ServiceError (/app/node\_modules/panasonic-comfort-cloud-client/dist/src/model/ServiceError.js:23:28) at ComfortCloudClient.handleError (/app/node\_modules/panasonic-comfort-cloud-client/dist/src/ComfortCloudClient.js:184:15) at ComfortCloudClient.

I submitted an update that @Robert_Schmidt merged yesterday. Version 1.1.4 should fix the authentication issue you’re seeing @Jenny_S @Par_Ostberg @niels_busser 🤞 ---

This is because when I contributed the flow cards I followed [Homey’s developer guide](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/flow), but didn’t realise there was a difference between “driver” flow cards and “device” flow cards. The latter requires a slightly different approach that I’m not able to fully test as I only have the one device. If I have time over the coming weeks I’ll see if I can add Device cards. Or if someone feels up for getting their hands dirty (and has access to a setup with multiple devices on one account) then I bet @Robert_Schmidt would appreciate the contribution 🙂 ---

The official app will be removed. Is it possible to publish this app in Homey store instead? ---

just a stupid question maybe, but will the app be updated automatically in my homey when a new version is released? ---

I have done the required changes to get per-device action cards. Tested in my env with 4 devices. Works like a charm with all the existing actions. I have not deprecated the wrongly added “driver” action flow cards, but that should be done since they don’t work properly (possibly except if you have only one device). But; I don’t have permission in the GitHub repo to push my branch. I assume @Robert_Schmidt has to grant me push (or something simliar) permissions if I am to contribute my code. ---

No. When installed with Homey CLI, you’ll need to update manually by downloading+building+installing the new version. ---

It would technically be possible, but I’m personally not interested in the burden of passing Athom’s quality screening. If someone would like to assume the responsibility, they’re welcome to. ---

This snippet is enough to reproduce the problem (also [posted](https://github.com/marc2016/panasonic-comfort-cloud-client/issues/14#issuecomment-2179440484) on the client library issue): ```auto import { ComfortCloudClient } from 'panasonic-comfort-cloud-client' let client = new ComfortCloudClient("1.20.1"); await client.login("your username", "your password"); ``` I’ve tried with both my “real” and the “for Homey” Panasonic user (which both work with the Android app), versions “1.20.0”, “1.20.1” and “1.20.2” (though neither the Android nor iPhone apps have had any updates since March). The response is 403 (“forbidden”) in all cases. It’s as if Panasonic are able to detect and block requests not from the official apps.
