[App][Pro] Panasonic Comfort Cloud Alternative (CLI Install only)

[Niklas70]

I have the latest now 1.1.16, but same error.
How do I get app log? I cant find that.

(Edit: I think I found it, I have sent you all at GitHub)

[enkhuppelschoten]

@Robert_Schmidt thank you for the app.

Is it possible you add the app (and future updates) in het new community store?

Homey Community Space

[Robert_Schmidt]

Probably - I’ll need to test it out a bit.

Edit: I’ve published the latest version (1.1.18) now, but it is entirely untested via HCS. (Personally, I’ll wait till I have my replacement Panasonic wifi-module.)

(I will not answer questions about how to use HCS.)

[Joar_Thorbergsen]

I have 1.1.19, and still get the same error.

[Denn1s]

Anyone else having troubles with these error messages?

Not sure what’s causing it, I just updated, when I open the device in homey web app I also get:

[Niklas70]

For the most part, PCC Alternative works well for me. Using v1.1.20. It’s when I build flows that I can’t quite get automatic airswing. If this can be resolved, I would be very grateful. The control is in the app behind “Fan auto mode”, but is not available via flow.

[Fishflu]

Thank you, @Robert_Schmidt !

I just installed this app, following your instructions (easy and quick), and it_just_works. I am running a NZ25 dual split model, and both heads are picked up correctly. Havent tried out all features yet, but even getting this far is fantastic.

Lets hope Panasonic gets their sh*t together and opens up their API for official integrations, some time in the future, so personal projects like this (even though greatly appreciated) are not necessary.

Thanks again!

[enkhuppelschoten]

I’ll get the message “Authentication failed, edit credentials in app settings”.
If i update the credentials, the messages stays the same.

It has workt till today

How can i fix this?

[Jarl]

Panasonic server which the Homey app communicates with was impacted by the world-wide Azure issues yesterday evening. It started working again late yesterday. A simple restart of the Homey app should fix the issue.

[enkhuppelschoten]

Ahh….you’re the best.

Thanxs!

[El_Schumi]

Sadly, the latest version seems to be incompatible. Used to work just fine but even after a restart of the app and homey it remains broken.

[El_Schumi]

Inside the app I get a better bug trace:
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘decimals’ of undefined
in DeviceThermostatControl
in Connect(DeviceThermostatControl)
in RCTView
in Unkown

[Jarl]

I see the same error with v1.1.20 on my new Homey Pro 2023 which I just set up and installed this APP on. The error pops up when trying opening the device dashboard. App (slightly modified from master) is running without issues on my old Homey (which has been restarted multiple times).

Currently debugging the changes between master (failing) and my branch to find the cause.

[Robin_Van_Doorn]

Hoi, ik heb de app geinstalleerd maar ik kan deze niet configureren, heeft iemand het verlossende antwoord hier op?

[Jarl]

There is a known issue in latest version. Fix is in progress. See issue #55 at github.

[naSliN]

I just installed the same NZ25 and this app, great!!

I do have Panasonic appa wish to toggle mode between regular heating and the (+8 - 15°C Heat) mode.

Is this possible to add?

[Jarl]

Fixed in version 1.1.21.

Just a quick question (That I can’t find in the history).

Will this still work on a Homey Pro 2016 - or should I just save the time

Kind regards Dennis
