Trouble shootings

Why cannot I find NEST Server?

Sometimes the issue is resolved when you check NEST Server.

If not, the problem lies in cookies and site data for the user authentication of the HBP. That cookie expires after a session. This happens when you re-access to https://nest-desktop.apps.hbp.eu after the browser is closed.

The simple solution is to reload the page that you can re-login.

A persistent solution is to set the browser configuration that it deletes cookies and site data when the browser is closed (It works in Firefox).
