OpenHab Cloud Installation

MARZIMA · January 11, 2017, 10:53pm

@tominagaf yes port 3000. Did it work for you so far?

tominagaf · January 11, 2017, 11:11pm

Yes, it works. Now I Wonder how to make myself member of admin group.

Basem_AlSaeed · January 12, 2017, 1:31am

now all of a sudden my openhab refuses to connect to my instance on cloud, i receive the below in the log

03:01:37.014 [DEBUG] [io.socket.engineio.client.Socket ] - socket error io.socket.engineio.client.EngineIOException: xhr poll error

any suggestions ?

Like Kiran_Patil I am also not able to start Openhab-cloud because of mongodb: MongoError: auth failed but mine seems more serious. I don’t have the openhab schema at all. Here is my mongodb session:

bob@linux05:~/openhab-cloud$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
connecting to: test
Welcome to the MongoDB shell.
For interactive help, type “help”.
For more comprehensive documentation, see
http://docs.mongodb.org/
Questions? Try the support group
http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user
show dbs;
admin (empty)
local 0.078GB
exit

Is there a way to rerun just the mongo part of the install or do you have other suggestions?

Thanks,

@BobRak,

is this still a problem?
Without the openhab db it wont start. So you need to switch (if installed properly) to it by “use openhab”

Let me know if you still got problems…

Mehmet:

Thanks for following up. I wanted a local Openhab-cloud installation
because I am developing a binding for the Smartthings Hub and thought I
would have to use their cloud interface to interact with it. But, I have
since figured out I can talk to the hub over my local LAN. Therefore, I
have stopped trying to do a local installation of Openhab-cloud.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

I could access my Openhab setup by using http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3000/basicui/app or http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3000/classicui/app (internet browser in Windows).
What I couldn’t get working was how my Openhab app (habdroid) could get access. Any ideas about the link I should use?

Thanks !

MARZIMA · March 5, 2017, 5:26pm

hi,
you need to add you url http://XXX:8080 for the local URL in Settings of the app.
BTW you re here at the wrong topic…this is here for openHAB cloud.

Fdewaele · March 5, 2017, 6:06pm

Hi,

I have installed a local instance of Openhab cloud on a Ubuntu server. I also want to connect Habdroid to it allowing me to have notifications and better authentication. The following links do work: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3000/basicui/index.html, http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3000/classicui/index.html and http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3000/habpanel/index.html.
Unfortunately I cannot connect Habroid. However it works if I use the shared solution “www.myopenhab.org”.
Any ideas?

MARZIMA · March 8, 2017, 2:00pm

Hi,

@Fdewaele,

you need to give habDroid your machines adress like http://your-IP:8080.

Did you try this? What is the error?

Hi all,

I am able to setup a local instance of openhab cloud, and run it on a vagrant box. The cloud website is functional and I can access via localhost:3000. Now I have added the cloud connector to openHab, the cloud server url to localhost:3000, the cloud website still display the openhab is offline. I see the debug log is pinging:

2017-03-10T07:50:40.564Z - debug: openHAB-cloud: Checking for offline openHABs (0)

I checked the uuid and secret are both set already. Anything else I’m missing? I tried myopenhab.org and on there I can make it online.

snoekieboe · March 13, 2017, 8:48pm

Did you ever get an answer to the question " how to make yourself admin" ??

I’m running the makeadmin.js script on my own openhabcloud installation but get a MongoDB auth error

Borre_Tharaldsen · June 19, 2017, 10:05pm

I still have problems and get the following log.
I have followed the quick start desciption, get this error

@Borre_Tharaldsen Did you solve your problem ? I have the same error…

@MARZIMA Can you help ?

Regards
Jörg

MARZIMA · July 15, 2017, 11:26pm

@vbbaby3 @Borre_Tharaldsen

I think you must remove the mongo user and passwort config entries completely in the config, so that it doesnt try to use it.

Can you check if that helps?

BR Mehmet

vbbaby3 · July 17, 2017, 5:04am

Great that worked for me

Borre_Tharaldsen · August 2, 2017, 12:03pm

It does not help. Then I got this:

MARZIMA · August 2, 2017, 5:39pm

Hi @Borre_Tharaldsen,

Did you maybe remove all mongo related stuff from config? Make sure only user and passwort is removed…and NOT mongo host etc.
(also make sure that you Don’t leave commas alone in config while removing attributes from conf)

BR Mehmet

Borre_Tharaldsen · August 2, 2017, 9:28pm

That helps. No I can start the instans.
I still get to errors, but I don’t know if they mean anything

StefanH · December 27, 2017, 7:42am

Hi guys,

this might be a stupid question. @MARZIMA where can I find the quickstart guide you are referring to?
I found

github.com

openhab/openhab-cloud/blob/master/README.md

# openHAB Cloud

openHAB Cloud is a companion cloud service and backend for the openHAB open-source home automation software.
The openHAB Cloud backend provides secure remote access and enables openHAB users to remotely monitor,
control and steer their homes through the internet, collect device statistics of their openHABs, receive
notifications on their mobile devices or collect and visualize data etc.
The main core features of openHAB Cloud are an user-management frontend, secure remote access, remote proxy-access, device registry & management, messaging services and data management & persistence.
The openHAB Cloud also serves as core backend integration point for cloud-based features (e.g. IFTTT) and
provides an OAuth2 application enablement.

## Getting started

This file has been truncated. show original

but it doesn’t mention anything about renaming config-production.json to config.json and after starting openhab-cloud it just fails because it cannot connect to mongo db (only solved when creating user manually, but you mentioned above that this shouldn’t be needed, or at least someone should remove the user/pass from the config file - which I haven’t tested). Is the quickstart guide just outdated? If so, any chance I can make changes, like in wikipedia? Sorry I am new to this forum and github.
