Looks like the myopenhab service has troubles again. I cannot login on the website and cannot connect with the app to myopenhab.
Anyone else experience problems with the service?
Yes, at this moment I canāt access the openHab dashboard.
Iām getting another strange bugsā¦ I get multiple delayed notification on my phone even if I have remove the sendBroadcastNotification line inside the rule file 
So itās something strange with myopenhab now
Yes Iām also seeing strange behaviour. My location and phone battery is more then an hour old when I check openhab. Looks like itās just very very very slow with updates.

Itās working again 
. Maybe it had to do something with the outage couple of days again. Read something in another topic.
nope it is still not working
Still working hereā¦ Strangeā¦
restarted openhab and mines running fine again
To negotiate this issue.
I use NGINX authentication on the openhabe raspberry pi, i then access my openhab using a chrome web browser and type http://mypublicip
i have setup nginx to use port 70, and forward to port 80 internally.
My router is setup to port forward 70 to my openhab local ip.
this way, i can save a webpage on my home screen, which goes straight to my sitemap using my IP instead of the cloud. The benefit of this is, its about 3 times faster to load, do any actions, etc.
I still have the openhab app installed and connected to the cloud so i can get notifications.
I restarted the clound binding, and it seems to be running again.
Sorry, the max connection limit just bit us again, i incorrectly thought we had more time, and was just sitting down to fix this and start the migration of a few of our hosts when i saw this message, uhgā¦
I went ahead and bumped the connection limit up on the DB server, i should have done this right away but wanted to do a little research before. I also restarted the services as iām not 100% sure what the hangover would be of having so many requests starved for connections, it may have come back on its own, but i did not want to chance it.
Just an FYiI, I have 2 more servers that are about ready to go that i am going to swap in place of 2 existing ones so we donāt get randomly migrated by our provider who has scheduled maintenance set for them. That process can be slow, and i donāt want us down 1 or 2 servers. if we donāt have to be. Iām hoping to do this tomorrow in a rolling migration that would not cause downtime .

Down here too, gateway timeout. Itās also causing Alexa to fail controlling devices. No more voice control, tried to disable the skill and re-enable it, now it wont authenticate.
The service is restarting , it takes a while (hour) when this happens, the thundering heard slams the service for about an hour, then things resume back to normal.
Not sure how the Alexa skill communicates with openHab, I am assuming it uses the cloud connector, which is why itās not working right now. In the future could we not use local connections with the skill if available? Much like the openHab app itself works. This would also make things much more responsive and alleviate the āthundering heardā problem your end.
Hello,
My cloud connection still wonāt budge. Keep getting timeouts on the iOS app, 504 page on the webpage and āxhr poll requestā errors in the openhab log. Am I missing something? Will everything automatically settle when the service is back up or do I have to reset something myself?
Thanks,
Best regards
You should wait few time and it will be ok. If you will read that the server is up but your cloud is not connected, you can try to restart your application or only the cloud binding with followind commands:
openhab-cli console
bundle:list | grep Cloud
You will see a line like this:
228 ā Active ā 80 ā 2.4.0 ā openHAB Cloud Connector Bundle
So, my binding id is 228 and than I can restart it with follow command:
bundle:restart 228

Since it hasnāt come up in this thread, I suggest bookmarking http://status.openhab.org/ so that you can check if the cloud service is having issues. Itās not always accurate, but itās still the next best thing to @digitaldan explaining whatās happening while also trying to get the servers back online.
If you want to contribute to a solution, I suggest a donation to help the foundationās infrastructure keep pace with openHABās increasing user base. Otherwise, I suspect weāll see these outages occurring more frequently.

Donation is make.
But why not open a server with a paid subscription for people 
who use it every day and need stability ? I love openhab, but cloud is a real problem for us here

The openHAB Foundation is a non-profit organisation and therefore can not offer payed services . Just simple as that.
If you are happy to pay for such a service, setup and run your own cloud service.

The openHAB Foundation is a non-profit organization, and from what Iāve read in the community there are strict rules in Germany about what a non-profit can and canāt do. Operating a paid service is in the ācanāt doā column.
Technically, everybody whoās using the cloud connector uses it every dayā¦itās not just active when youāre talking to Google or Alexa. Itās also serving remote access via the apps, connections to IFTTT, etc. So really, we just need more servers to keep up with the ever-increasing demand (@digitaldan, please correct me if Iām mistaken).
Itās been suggested by others that nothing is stopping an enterprising openHABer from starting their own service and charging for access to it. Iād do it myself if I could, but I have neither the time nor the expertise.
