Hello everyone,  
I am building a flow dedicated to get some PV panels data out of a certain website, which requires a login. I have all the data, but everything I'm trying doesn't seem to work. I tried with a normal HTTP request and with a script with puppeteer, but nothing seems to be working.  
The error I am currently getting is a timeout error, but the connection is fine, so I think it must something about bad selectors, but I double/tripled checked all of those and they should be fine.

This is the URL leading to the login.

It is needed to say that my experience and knowledge of this kinda stuff is very basic, since I only worked with HTML to get the selector for some other bots I had to create, none of which required a login of any sort...

If anyone more experienced could give me a point of view, it'd be very appreciated.

Thanks everyone and have a nice day!
