Panasonic has deprecated (and now obsoleted) the login flow we’ve been using. The service now requires an OAuth2 flow (implemented with oauth0 and Google recaptcha).

The author of the client library we use is working on it, thankfully!

Ah that explains the 403 and 400 errors! We’ll patiently wait for an update, excellent work! 🥰

Is there any development regarding this ? We have system that we just started up 2 weeks ago that is just getting 403 and 400 errors from in the homey app, and the Comfort Cloud app is running as usual

The client library has been updated, and I’ve pushed version 1.1.5 to the _develop_ branch (I’m not at home, so this is completely untested as of yet).

Did you read the post above yours?  
You can try 1.1.5 now - just checkout the develop branch instead of the master branch.

Hey.  
Was anyone else able to install the app? I’m getting a timeout after 300sec and can’t install the app. I did it with powershell (npm install, homey install)…  
Is there an other way to install GitHub - Apps?

Thx.

Seems Panasonic bumped the API version from 1.20.1 to 1.21.0 - I’ve pushed an update to develop again.

Try with the master branch - this won’t be able to authenticate, but at least many people have installed it successfully, including myself.

If that also times out, we know there’s something with your setup - I can only suggest stuff like rebooting your Homey, reinstalling the latest Homey SDK, etc.  
If it does install, try again with the develop branch.

Read [the official app thread](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-panasonic-comfort-cloud-alternative/75906), and post your question there (or not, because the last dozen or so posts will answer your question).

New version:

- 1.1.7: updated PCC client package to 2.0.2, hopefully resolving token refresh issue. (401 errors appeared in Homey device UI when token expired. Restarting the app would resolve it until the next expiry.)

I’m on 1.1.7 and I get:

That iTunes URL is the Apple app store metadata link for the [Panasonic Comfort Cloud app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/panasonic-comfort-cloud/id1348640525?mt=8) - it’s queried to figure out the current version expected by Panasonic’s servers. I [should probably](https://github.com/ugumba/homey-panasonic-comfort-cloud-alt/issues/19) add some fault tolerance.

I just restarted my app without issue - do you get this error all the time?
