Hi everyone, I started to use openhab just recently and basically all works impressively fine so far. Just the App doesn’t connect to my openhabian server via http://openhabianpi:8080 no matter what I try. The app shows the message to make sure openhab is up and running and url is configured corr…

If I am not completely wrong, the Android App uses the REST API to connect to openHAB2. Make sure that you have that installed and try again. You can check if it is already installed by accessing: http://openhabianpi:8080/doc/index.html If you get nothing: Go to PaperUI → Add-Ons → Misc → REST Do…

[image] Dim: Android App uses the REST API Really? Edit: in the beginning I did not have the REST docs installed and Android app worked fine …

I don’t know if you really need to have REST docs installed… (maybe this is just for a “UI” to REST and it’s not needed by the openHAB Android Client) From here: GitHub - openhab/openhab-android: openHAB client for Android

[image] jjhh: The app shows the message to make sure openhab is up and running and url is configured correctly but can’t reach the server. Access via browser on lan and wlan works perfectly. Can you access your OH2 system from the Android phone by using the browser? If you are on the same (W…

Thanks for your replies: REST API is installed and reachable vía browser Demo Mode unchecked I reach the server via browser from the Android phone I tried the IP address in the App too … nothing worked so far It feels like the App does not resolve the IP nor the alias once demo is unchecked. Sam…

Do you have the option to “Ignore SSL hostname” checked in the app-settings?

[image] Dim: I don’t know if you really need to have REST docs installed… (maybe this is just for a “UI” to REST and it’s not needed by the openHAB Android Client) You don’t. The REST API is there whether or not the REST Docs are installed. The Docs are just that, documentation. Really cool i…

the option to ignore SSL hostname is checked (any other specials I have to set in the settings?) The sitemap menu just shows ‘Main Menu’ and ‘Home’ of the demo sitemap. The ‘Select default sitemap’ option only shows ‘demo’ and ‘_default’ but not my own sitemap. I have not set up the cloud connector…

fyi, for testing I just did a separate installation of the Windows version with a small sitemap and this can be correctly (!) accessed by the App on my Android phone. So I figure it is some issue on the openhabianpi side. Can this help to narrow down the cause?

Disable demo mode, no config necessary, just start it and it connects automatically.
