Servervlag to update troubles listing

Despite all the testing done the troubles list in the app takes a long time to update and seems to constantly show and repeat historic loss of connection issues with the panel events. These events do not show in the events log tho. Very annoying and i now cant trust what the app troubles list tells me

Good but could be better

The app functionality is great, with a simple, easy to use interface. It would be even better with support for Apple Watch and widgets.
