@Heujenthro, did you remove OpenJDK as suggested in the Raspbian thread?
If it still doesn't work, I can't help for Raspi4, don't have one, sorry.

@R1D2 , Yeah
IT WORKS!!
By doing this stuf.
First i remove all Java stuf
$ sudo apt purge openjdk*
$ sudo apt autoremove
Then.
$ sudo mkdir /usr/java
$ cd /usr/java
$ sudo tar xf ~/Downloads/jdk-8u241-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_241/bin/java 1000
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_241/bin/javac 1000
$ java -version ; javac -version

Great.
Remember that the official version of Pharos Control needs to run as a root process, this bears some risks due to Java bugs.
The community version will be release soon, it then will run Pharos Control under an unprivileged user ID, thus greatly minimizing risks.

@R1D2 , Yeah, it runs on the root process.

Yes, I know and this is bad. Web services never should run as root. The risk it creates is a potential root exploit due to bugs in Java.

@R1D2 , Yup. this might need pay closer attention on the root service.
Also, I notice that it has cloud backend server on PharosControlHeadless.backend.server.hipap.tplink.com
