Android 12 and HomeGenie Plus

[gadgetboy]

Just a quick query. Has anyone else had difficulty installing HomeGenie Plus on a newer cellphone running Android 12? I have sucessfully installed the app on an Android 10 tablet without difficulty, and had it work properly immediately. However, my wife's LG Velvet 5-G will control modules once, then start the phone screen flashing until app closed. Restarting the app will immediately cause the screen flashing again. Has the newest update changed this behavior? Or have I made a mistake during setup? (That would be my bet) My pi setup has not missed a beat since getting it back up last summer. My guess is a power surge destroyed my CM15-a and caused the meltdown of my RPi 3b+ as these were thepieces I needed to replace and re-program. Back to nearly full function and better backups now.


FOLLOWUP

I have now installed HomeGenie Plus on two cellphones, one with android 11 and one with android 12 without difficulty. I see it has been updated on the Google Play website . My thanks to the developers.

Further to this;
I have installed this on multiple android devices since I wrote this request on Android 11, 12 and 13. Yesterday morning in re-installed this app to my android 13 and the screen says I am connected, and the modules show up, but they can not be controlled. I see this is a new version of the app but I am still running HG ver 1.3 on my RPi. Could this be the problem? Or is this a difficulty with the HG panel? Any advice would be appreciated.

After more research I found a much older version of HomeGenie Panelversion 1.1.121. It works but over the next few days I will have to try newer versions until I find the newest that works, then upgrade the rest of the controllers until they are all as current as possible.
I found this version on APkPure after alot of trolling around the internet and installed it with ZArchiver. Worked first shot. I assume there will be a new version that works first crack soon. At least I now have firured out how to cope.

So far this is the working version I have found. I will watch for release of a new one.
