Hi Everyone,

It seems settings/setSystemSettings blocked for the last few weeks for “backlight” endpoint.

I was perfectly using it to automate the backlight during the day according to its position  
Now it gets an error

Error: Communication error while calling async\_command for device LG webOS TV QNED87A6B: {‘type’: ‘error’, ‘id’: 12, ‘error’: ‘401 insufficient permissions’, ‘payload’: {}}

Please let us have it back
