App doesn't connect to server - newbie issue? Topic is solved

[Grappa]

Hi

am new on Domoticz (looking for a better solution than my current HomeWizard) and want to test the Android App (lite).

I have created a simple server setup on my Windows10 PC (want to move to Rasberry PI later) and do see my sensors and switches ok. However when I try to connect from App I do get the message:

Timeout or no connection
com.android.volley. TimeoutError

Please correct the data on the previous page

server address: ip-address of PC; Port 6144; Username & PW as created under Setup - More Options - Edit Users

In the logfile I do see: 2016-10-30 17:39:13.955 Incoming Domoticz connection from: 192.168.178.113 (which is the Android phone running the app)
Tried other android devices: same message.

Probably something stupid that I just failed to see... Who can help?

THANKS

i have the same problem

with the app 'imperihome' its working fine


EDIT

its working when i use it from outside the lan network.. (so with a 4g connection on my phone and portforwarding)

[Egregius]

can only be some error in address/domain name/port forwarding.

I tried imperihome: same result
I tried via 4G (and portforwarding): same result
I tried different devices: 3 different Windows devices (W10/W7), Synology and Raspberry Pi: same result
I tried 3 different Androids with the APP and an Iphone: same result

Domoticz server DOES see the connection comming in (2016-11-07 21:28:52.001 Incoming Domoticz connection from: 192.168.178.136) but the app times out.
If I enter a different portnr in the app I immediately get an error message. So the app does somehow communicate with the server.

Any ideas?

Found it....

had set port in the app to 6144 and it should be 8080

Hi,

Just hijacking the post a bit. I'm setting Imperihome too and it works fine on LAN but when trying to access remotely (with port forwarding and basic login auth) it doesn't work.

I can see on the logs (accessing remotely) that Imperihome is trying to log in but gets refused:

Code: Select all

2016-11-22 12:54:39.968 Error: [web:8084] Failed authentication attempt, ignoring client request (remote address: 127.0.0.1)

I'm accessing remotely from my mobile phone 3G

The paremeter I'm using for remote access is a DNS:3002 and then user and password. Am I missing anything else?

SPEC: Running Domoticz 3.5877 on Synology 116

Figured out what the issue is. I had to white list an IP under settings: 127.0.0.1 for Imperihome to work with a port forwarding.
