Domoticz

I have an issue with my Domoticz installation.

Domoticz ran perfectly on my NAS for years, until I upgraded to the recent Beta after the 2020.1 release. From then on Domoticz didn't work anymore.

So I tried to go back to an earlier version and reinstall my database from a backup. I'm now running version v4.11786 on my Asustor 6210T NAS.

Everything seems to work fine, except my Xiaomi Gateway and my Harmony Hub. I deleted my Xiami Gateway and recreated a new device in hardware. In the log I find this strange message that looks like it doesn't find my Xiaomi as it's missing the last digit of the ip address.

As you can see, the fourth digit is missing. The IP address of my Xiaomi Gateway is fixed to 111.111.1.175

Does anybody have an idea how I can correct this?

You know you can't just pick any ip address range for your local devices, do you? Only a few specific ranges are reserved for private address ranges and 111.111.1.x isn't one of them. So unless you've got your own range of public ip addresses -which is highly unlikely- you've probably not set your local network up correctly. This can cause strange problems like incorrect routing.

Better reconfigure your router to use on the LAN side addresses in a range starting with 192.168. and then make sure you restart all devices in your network to get a new address from the router's dhcp. I am not sure that this will fix your gateway problem, but at least it does eliminate one potential issue.

@rrozema,

Thanx for your reaction!

I put the ip address as a place holder (111.111.1.x), as I didn't know if it was custom to put ip address here in this forum. MY BAD! But the ip address of the gateway is 192.168.1.175. I have the ip address bined to a fix ip address through the mac address. Everything worked perfectly in previous domoticz builds, before I upgraded to version 2020.x.

At the moment I reverted back to version 4.11786 available for my ASUSTOR Nas (based on Docker). In the ASUStor forum Philippe (father.mande) is trying to create a new build for the ASUStor devices. I hope that helps solve my problem.

I thought maybe others also have the same issue using a Xiaomi Gateway, as I read that quite some people have all sorts of issues after upgrading to v2020.x. But looking at the reactions on my post, I'm the only one with this specific issue I guess. I'll wait for a new build for my NAS and keep my fingers crossed that solves my problem.

haha, you're right to be cautious not posting to much (personal) details. I personally don't think the internal ip range is really that sensitive though. 192.168.1 is indeed a good private address range. Offtopic, I've had the problem that 192.168.1.x was used by a vpn network i connected to, which clashed with my local network range, so this is why I since then use 192.168.128.x.

I don't have any experience with xiaomi gateway integration, so I hope someone else will indeed be able to resolve that problem. Keep us informed!

Yes! My issue has been resolved with the new Domoticz APKG for Asustor! See here: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 80#p248780.
