Can't connect Android device to own openhab cloud instance

Apps & Services openHAB Cloud

Hi!
With help of the community I was able to set up my own openhab cloud instance. Now I want to connect my phone to this cloud instance. Instructions seems to be pretty easy

but when I set this URL the port 443 is automatically removed (what has no further effects, I guess)

and the device will not show up in the list.

What else needs to be configured to make my phone appear in the device list?

In order to make notifications work I need to install FCM, right?
Needs this to be done before registering a device?

Best regards

Is there anything else that I can provide so that anybody can give me a hint?

Hi,
I haven’t given up hope yet and am still trying to establish a connection. I have created the necessary entries for FCM and entered them in config.json.
The device still does not appear in the overview.
The Android app now shows the following (unfortunately I can’t say whether it was there before):

“Notifications not available: Server for remote access is not an openHAB cloud instance”

Does anyone know why the openHAB cloud instance is not recognized as such?

Best regards

I assume that it’s this check that fails. I’m not sure why that field would be missing, though … in any case, you can easily double check the assumption using e.g. curl.

Thanks for your reply!
I tried to use a curl command but I was not able to escape the password.
Also I did not find anything how a bearer token is generated within openhab cloud.
Fortunately wget worked and gave me an empty JSON.

So firebase is not setup correctly and I will first work on that and get back with further information.

Thanks again and best regards!

I have looked into the issue further and as far as I understand it, the whole problem has nothing to do with Firebase, but with my setup, because Firebase cannot work unless the Android device is listed in openHAB Cloud.

Now the big question: How can I make sure that my local openHAB instance, openHAB Cloud and the openHAB Android app are configured correctly?
Or could it perhaps be a network/firewall problem?
Unfortunately, I don’t know how and where to start. :confused:

Best regards

Someone had a good idea (unfortunately it wasn’t me).
I tried the whole thing with myopenhab and it works perfectly. For me, this means that my local instance, smartphone and network with ports etc. are working correctly and the problem lies with my openHAB Cloud instance.

Does anyone have any ideas on how and/or what to test/check?
