Free Domoticz app has stopped working

[OldPensionado]

Hi guys,
Since a week or so I am facing a non working (free) Domoticz app, saying "Oops, no data on server". I've read about a similar problem in this topic https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... ps#p316170

Unfortunately this concerns the premium app and not the free one.
In this topic a solution was presented by jvdz, using NGINX, by means of a "simple" workaround. Although I absolutely do love simple workarounds, I am not familiar with NGINX and I am not intending to use it.
Is there another, hopefully also a "simple", workaround to solve my problem? Should I remove and reinstall the app? Or should I update Domoticz on my Raspberry Pi?

App version (free) 0.2.371 (9474)
Fairphone 5, Android 13
Domoticz on RPi, V 2022.2

Thanks in advance!

Did you look at the app what's new? You need Domoticz 2024.x now.

I am afraid that I missed that! I will update right away and report later.
Tnx for the tip.

As stated years ago: Read The F... Manual! (And use this forum, hihi.)
Updating Domoticz on my RPi-server did the trick. For the benefit of other users I will describe my actions:

• Shut down the RPi.
• My RPi uses a SDcard and a USBstick for booting and operating. So I made backups of both using USB Image Tool from Alexander Beug.
• Remounting both cards and boot the RPi.
• Open the webgui of Domoticz on my pc.
• Setup > Check for Update > Update available version #15889
• Downloading starts and took about 2 minutes.
• Argghhh! Error while downloading. Check your internet connection. Try again later.
• Using SSH (Putty) I restarted Domoticz on the RPi.
• Webgui Domoticz > Check for Update > No Update Available! What is happening here?
• Fortunately I examined the webgui a bit closer and voilà: version 2024.4 was running!
• Final check: the Domoticz app on my smartphone runs perfectly without any problems.

Lessons learned: see above.
And many thanks to waltervl!

Never heard of this. Dashboard is working on a browser GUI?

[ronalddevos]

Dashboard working on a browser, yes

[jvdz]

Probably an incompatibility with the new API's?
Have you checked the log of API warnings when you get the OOPS in the APP?

[ronalddevos]

No API errors.
After struggling with this for the last months or 2, it now seems to be working 80% of the time.... No change, no restarts..
I'll monitor what happens, but I am baffled...

Do you allow remote access from outside your home network to your domoticz server? Perhaps that configuration is off...
