I just got a Panasonic ducted A/C unit installed with the Panasonic wifi add-on.
Turns out, after testing, the Panasonic wifi add on has a massive flaw.
Once connected to wifi it connects with servers in Barcelona? to establish a tunnel. You then use an android app or Google home to control your home A/C unit. Great fantastic, when it works.
Turns out, if you loose internet connectivity, or the server is not reachable, the wifi app no longer works (no surprises here). BUT, your main wired Panasonic controller also goes offline.
So you cannot use your Panasonic A/C unit at all if there is an internet fault, or the Intesis server cannot be reached.
This has been confirmed by the tech who visited yesterday to try and get mine working correctly (which it's still not).
I will be sending Panasonic and the installation company a nice email.
Massive design flaw IMO.
Anyone know of any other way to connect the Panasonic ducted system to google home or IFTTT?
