Hi, thanks for your issue report. (sorry for this late response)

Can you specify the answer for the following questions:

• Your split AC model?
• Your Raspberry PI is connected to network and have internet access? (can you ping the following hostnames: accounts.eu1.gigya.com, oauth.hijuconn.com, api.connectlife.io, connectlife.bapi.ovh ?)

[AttilaSVK]

Hi! The indoor unit of the split AC is a Hisense CA35YR03G with a AEH-W4GX wifi module. The Pi is on the same network as my phone (and other devices) I can ping the first and last address, but the second and third don’t respond to pings. However they do serve up a website when tried in a browser, so I can reach all four servers from my network.

[ghosty2004]

Thanks for your confirmation. Can I know if you use OAuth (Google, Apple or Microsoft) ?

After this answer, if you say no, then I will implement an advanced debug to be able to see what's going on and what response you receive from the APIs.

Sorry for the late reply, I read the notification e-mail and I forgot that there was a question for me to answer :) No, I just log in to ConnectLife with e-mail and password, I don't use OAuth.
