Hi folks,

Hope someone can help me out with this, I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find any advice to address this issue.

Problem:
I upgraded from OpenHAB2 to OpenHAB 3 and have difficulty to access the OpenHAB webUI on some of my devices…

I have several iPads

Newer ones (eg: iOS14), I can access my OpenHAB server via http://openhab:8080/#!/

Older ones (iOS 9), I use as a wall mounted controller and I cannot access and get this message:

A problem repeatedly occurred on "http://openhab:8080/#!/

What have I tried?
I’ve tried to connect to:

  • the server name
  • ip address
  • with and without the trailing /#!/.

I have also tried to access via Safari and Chromeniether are able to connect

Any advice? is iOS 9.3.5 not supported?

I have the same problem

I’m having problems with Login in as well. Mostly because i want to use my old habpanels.
Dont know if it the same issue as yours.
I can connect with the main 192.x.x.x:8080 but i can not press the login in the bottom left.
I am on an older iPad with IOS 10.3.3.

Wondering if it has something to do with Java 11.

I have the same problem too.

And me too, both with the web browser and the native app :frowning:

Is there a plan to support IOS 9.3 ? It would be nice as it gives a second life to some old ipads that work perfectly well.

Please check OH3 webapp does not work on iOS 9.3.5 · Issue #759 · openhab/openhab-webui · GitHub

Long story short

Framework7 (v5) needs Safari 9.1 and iOS 9.3.5 ships with Safari 9.0 so unfortunately MainUI will not run on iOS 9.3.5 - iOS 10 is required as minimum.

Are there any work arrounds so I can still use ipad2 as panels.

Accepting it cant use the new ui, habpanel says they need to login which takes me to the ui and doesn’t load.

Failing that I guess I could run a 2.5 instance with some dummy controls which the oh3 instance monitors.

Oh a search lead me here and down a rabbit hole, when it was actually just a simple issue that I hadn’t set the habpanel as the default.

Ipad2 running kiosk Pro displaying habpanel fine.

how did you manage to install kiosk pro when apple does not let the ipad register at the store?
