Hi @tipanic, sorry for responding this late, but I didn't get any notification about your issue.

I did work on this project, but we did never use this in production. So it's quite a first version, not really tested yet.

Regarding your logs, I suppose the login-status was a None-Type object, which cannot be searched by the find method for the status field. This could be caused by some nonce returned during login. Since I do not have a test-system nor enough time for testing, I have to disappoint you and I cannot help you any further about this issue that time.

Feel free to fork this project and debug it yourself. I'm sorry :(
