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

2016? Or did you mean 2019?

I’m running the app on both a 2019 and a 2023 Homey Pro. Just make sure Homey is up to date on FW/OS.

I’ve installed it. Entered the correct credentials, but when adding an aircon I get:

Cannot set properties of undefined (setting: guid)

any idea about this?

Hi all - I’m sorry to say I will no longer be using Homey, so I will not be able to maintain this app.
The repository will stay as-is for now - I will never actively remove or restrict anything.

Let me know here if you’d like to be invited as collaborator and possibly future maintainer of the repository.

I get this error message when trying to connect to my panasonic. Using app version 1.1.21.

I can’t se theres a newer version?

Request failed with status code 401 

New version of app has been published

EDIT: A restart of the app solved the problem. All good :slight_smile:

Same issue here. Did you solve it? Only your comment shows up when searching for this issue. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE. I’m no programmer, I’m just trying to add something supersimple to the app Android TV.

I am not able to update the app. Need help.
I got a error saying I had an old version of NPM so I updated NPM first.

The I used the command for installation:

Restarted the app and now it work again :slight_smile:

What will happen to the app when @Robert_Schmidt leaving Homey? :frowning:

i have the same problem…I can’t install the app… what did you restart?

@Giovanni4312: My understanding is that @Par_Ostberg got the known issue with the Homey app since a new version of the app had been released in the App Store. Then the Homey app stops working. The fix (per now) is to restart the Homey app, which he did, and the Homey app started working again.

In parallell I guess @Par_Ostberg tried to build a new version (ref image), but the “homey app install” command failed - timed out. Based on the image it to me looks like a install issue independent of our app. Possibly communication issue between the build machine and the Homey device.

For now the code will stay where it is, in @Robert_Schmidt s GitHub account, so no change when it comes to dowloading and building the Homey APP.

I’m using the APP heavily my self, so I will try to contribute to the APP code and work with Robert on approving PRs (=code contributions). I’m not a Node.js developer, so still strugling with fully understanding how the build procedure works with relation to dependencies+++, but I’m a former programmer, so changing the APP source code is doable and I run all my code changes on my own 2 Homey devices before contribing code to the repo.

If I download an older version of the Panasonic app, will the compilation work?

I switched from the cloud to Homey Pro…so I have to reinstall the app from scratch…how should I restart the Homey app? Do you mean logging out and then trying to reinstall Panasonic?

Not quite sure I get what your issue is.

The generic app install procedure implies that the current installed version on the Homey (if any) is stopped, new one installed and then started. Thus, if you install a new version you`ve built, all should be fine. No need for additional actions.

The “manually restarting the app” procuredure (using the “restart app” link from the app settings menu, on the Homey) is only relevant if the app has been running for a long time on the Homey and Panasonic ups the version required on their API.

I was only able to install it after turning Homey Pro off and on again.

Thanks for your help.

Let’s hope this app gets updated and becomes official.

Unfortunately Panasonic has stated blocking IP’s now.

I myself am not able to access the Comfort Cloud anymore on my home WiFi. Phone on wireless and it’s fine.

i will contact Panasonic and see what’s there to be done about.

Scary. That was new. May be caused by too much polling on the API - especially if one have multiple devices on the same Panasonic account.

I recommend increasing the configurable poll interval, per device, in the Homey app. Defailt value is 60sec, but 600sec should be sufficient. This only impacts how often device status is fetched from Panasonic API. Changing parameters still happen immediately.

Thanks for advise.

Still working here.

Is this app also working for Air-to-Water systems?
I have seen the first post, but that was 3 years ago, so i’m hoping it works :slight_smile:

I’m working on a Homey Script solution that polls the current settings from the Aircon, then only sends commands to the Aircon if they need to change. I.e. if I want Turn On, Cool, 21°, Fan Auto and the last settings were already Cool, 21°, Fan Auto, then it will only send the Turn On command. If it does need to send multiple commands, it spaces them apart to avoid triggeering the rate limit.
