Domoticz app 2.0 Topic is solved

[Alain]

219 version works perfect for me.

Initially I rated the app 4-stars, but as developer commitment and service is also important, I adjusted my rating to 5-stars. Your dedication is second to none @galadril

I just saw an APP update to 219 and tested with that as well, but still see the same as I've explained before.

[jvdz]

I've made a recording of what I see on my s10e phone : https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArbrxAynjpqNhPt21Ng ... w?e=bOabAt
In this case the first 3 times you see that the Switch "TVHoek" is not doing anything, then the 4th and 5th time it is switching fine and then the 6th time it is failing again.

I really appreciate your efforts, thanks for that!
5 star review given

But this issue with all the old servers / 1000 emails, most nice emails, but some really rude ... / I received like 60 1-star on rating because of this update..

Can you set Dashboard as your startup page? just to see if that all works..
Because im thinking that there may be an issue with the Plan page..?

EDIT: Can you contact me on [email protected] ? quickly discussing this in dutch is maybe a bit easier
Even with testing the Plan page, i can't reproduce it.. i think its a combination of Domoticz version + no auth that I just can't setup here or on your test server... Can i test against your system maybe?

Sure ... will do.

is it possible to start the domoticz voice app throught the google voice of android device ?

Because I need to start the mic manualy and google doesn't reconize the command voice of domoticz app.

No its not integrated with google assistant, its just some simple speech command that you can record and use (you can config them in the settings)

I have the same problem and it only happens to me on the switch page, not on the plans page.
I am using the latest stable version of domoticz 2020.2.11995 and 0.2.219 of the app.

I've build a new version and jvdz assisted me with testing, it looks to be fixed.
So within 2hours, there should be a new version in the app store v0.2.220

Let me know!

This morning I installed the latest version 0.2.220 and at least it still doesn't work. Before if it worked on plans and not on switches, now neither of them.
When I activate the switch in the app it is activated in domoticz but in the app it appears off, only if I slide to refresh the screen it is activated.

I'll keep testing.
A greeting.

After deleting the settings the following happens:

On the switch screen it doesn't work it just changes when we refresh.
The pop-up window also appears indicating the change of the switch but it has not changed in the app.

On the plans if it works screen, the pop-up window indicating the switch change does not appear on this screen.

On the dashboard screen if it works and also the pop-up window appears indicating the change of the switch.

Greetings and thank you.

I simply created a empty file logincheck in directory \home\pi\domoticz\www which fixed that.

Tried that - still doesn't work, but this changes the error message in the app to "Invalid credentials. IMPORTANT: Please check if your Domoticz system uses Login Page as the authentication method. Basic Auth is going to be removed from Domoticz from the next update!"

Just my two cents....

After above fixes To make it working I had to reboot my two Raspberry
Than connectivity has been restored

No its not integrated with google assistant, its just some simple speech command that you can record and use (you can config them in the settings)

it's really a shame and useless because the app can't wake the device and notifications don't work in real time

[jvdz]

Is there any documentation on how this "logincheck api method" works and what the app expect as conversation, without trying to distil it for the current GitHub source?

We call the /logincheck endpoint with md5 hashed password, and base64 hashed username as form-data in the POST call.
It returnes some json with info about the logged in user (rights, etc).
And it returns an authentication cookie.. and that cookie is then used for other connections instead of the username/password.
Until the cookie expires.. then we login again for a new cookie

I have been looking at this a little closer but the thing I do not understand is how this /logincheck is made safe to use over an SSL connection?
The Userid and Password are part of the URL so are part of the cleartext part of the SSL connection and can be captured. I do understand that the password isn't reversible, but what is stopping anybody from using the hashes of Userid and Password to start their own connection with the server to get the cookie?
With Basic authentication (https: // userid:password @ ip/) the userid and password are part of the header which does get encrypted by the SSL connection.
I am sure I am missing something here but could somebody enlighten me how it really works?

I think that google assistant/ifttt/ al lot more services use oAuth2.0 for security. Domoticz is working on oAuth..
So maybe in the future......

Thats probably why the latest logincheck url has all the data in the POST body instead of query parameters....

[galadril]

For all users that are having issues with Basic Auth being removed.. a new hybrid version is coming (v0.2.221)
Basic auth is working again for that version.. but it prefers the session cookie basic auth.

I hope that this solves some issues for you guys

If this is really the case then I would strongly advice not to use the "old" /logincheck at all and remove it from the APP, as that is a real security problem!
...and thank for adding the Basic Auth back as that is still used by many as it seems.
