Slow/none response sometimes using Pansonic Z35UFEAW-1 (CZ-TACG1)

[jkaberg]

I'm seeing some erratic behavior on my Pansonic Z35UFEAW-1 (CZ-TACG1) where the heat pump seems to not respond to commands (me changing mode) or an unusual long delay. It's been like this for a year now and been bugging me so thought I'd bring it up. However I don't know howto proceed from here

I also have an Panasonic HZ35UKE (DNSKP) which responds frequently and without issues as comparison
