Hi Martijn. Just reinstalled again and tried. After entering telno. is says loading … then this text disappears and homey reports (in red) driver missing 2x and the sequence restarts. Doing this the second time and loading appears and stays forever. Do I need to install additionals? Running homey late 2019 updated. ---

@Phil_Bro which homey are you on? HP19 or HP23? ---

@Phil_Bro HP19 still has issues i saw, therefore also multiple updates yesterday evening. something changed in the SDK causing incompatibility with HP19 (nodejs 16). So investigating what i can do to fix it. But actually running nodejs 16 is the issue. ---

OK! Well that satisfies me, to know the cause to find the root cause is a start. Thanks so far. If you want me to check on things, let me know. It appears that you’re not using [https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/\*\*test\*\*/](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/ **test** /) as others do use the /test/ to allow testing prior to put mods live instantly. ---

@Phil_Bro Normally I use /test ([link](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-whatsapp-simple-reliable-private/90749/1258)). But as I made a “hotfix” i thought it’s better to put it live immediately, not knowing there was a critical update for lower node versions ---

Perfectly understandable. I’ll wait for the version for me, again no sweat as it has no high prio here, for others I don’t know the level of patience 🙂 ---

@Phil_Bro the number of HP23 is a lot higher on this app. So should work for 80% of the users 😉 ---

As I have 3 HP19 operational and 2 spare.. but most of all a lot of apps did prove not ready for the 23 model, I decided to wait. So I accept the 20% exception for your app 😆 ---

@Phil_Bro can you give the above test version a go? I’m not at home so can’t test on my hp19. Edit: Did test on my Hp23 and that still works 🙂 ---

Installing as we speak. Hold on for edit EDIT : We have a lift-off ! Registration worked. Assume that the app will do what I want, but need to test later this week as meetings will consume me big time. Let me know when the test mods are in the live version, as I will switch mine accordingly. Thanks for the efforts Martijn, appreciate this! ---

@Phil_Bro good to hear! Will probably change it to live within 3 hours. So if you install the live version this evening you’ll be fine 🙂 ---
