connection status: unreachable address
connection status: unreachable address
I just hooked up my reef angel and wanted to play with portal but its says "connection status: unreachable address" I cant figure out how to fix this
Re: connection status: unreachable address
when I click on relays it says "only available with valid wifi address. please make sure controller is sending data to the portal web server"
How do I do this?
How do I do this?
Re: connection status: unreachable address
Do you have the wifi attachment? The wifi attachment sends the data to the portal.
Re: connection status: unreachable address
You need to configure port forwarding
Re: connection status: unreachable address
I do have the wifi. I think I set up port forwarding is there a way to check if I did it right?
Re: connection status: unreachable address
I think I put in the wrong ip address but I cant figure out how to change it. but my cell phone app works
Re: connection status: unreachable address
spoke too soon know my phone app is not working I tried changing the ip address on the phone app and now it does not work and I cant remember the old ip
Re: connection status: unreachable address
so my external address shows open port on 2000 when I check it on port forwarding tester but the portal still does not work any clue Im starting to think this thing is to technical for me
Re: connection status: unreachable address
does my external address and the wifi adapter need to be the same ip address
Re: connection status: unreachable address
No. The external ip address is your routers ip on the internet side.
The next step would be on your router to make sure forwarding is setup to forward to the IP of your wifi module.
If you point your phone to the ip of your wifi module does it work when your on your wifi network?

Re: connection status: unreachable address
Yes the phone app works on wifi to do like feeding mode but not on mobile internet
Re: connection status: unreachable address
Right. Your forwarding isn't good. Search for your router and how to setup port forwarding on google..
Re: connection status: unreachable address
that i s where I'm stuck I've been looking at the online tutorials and I've got it to where the IP address works for port forwarding but I still can't get it to work for PortalI'm trying to put in my computer's IP address and I tried putting in the Wifi ipI can't seem to get the port forwarding to work on anything but the computer's IP address
Re: connection status: unreachable address
You dont put either ...you put the external ip. Whatever you get when you try whatsmyip.org
Re: connection status: unreachable address
Do you happen to have 2 routers? One for the internet and one for wifi?

Re: connection status: unreachable address
Yes I do. Our modem went down and when we bought a new one it had wifi also so I have 2 wifi options in my house
Re: connection status: unreachable address
You'll need to setup the forwarding on both then. THe first one forwards to the second and the second forwards to the wifi module. A bit tricky
Re: connection status: unreachable address
I think I need to remove one and see if that helps
Re: connection status: unreachable address
removed extra wifi and set up port forwarding on router. the port forwarding test web sight shows port 2000 is open but when I go to portal it still says "connection status: unreachable address"
Re: connection status: unreachable address
when doing the port forwarding test should I be using current ip address or the wifi adapter address?
Re: connection status: unreachable address
Your controller has never sent data to the server.
Make sure you are not using a security key in the Portal. If you are, make sure you edit your code to match the same key you entered in the portal.
Make sure you are not using a security key in the Portal. If you are, make sure you edit your code to match the same key you entered in the portal.
If enabled, please make sure to change the Portal() function in your INO code. It should follow this format:
ReefAngel.Portal("username","key");

Re: connection status: unreachable address
do I do this on the portal site or on the controller
Re: connection status: unreachable address
If you enable the security key in the portal, you must also change your code to match the same key you entered in the portal.
If you disable it in the portal, then you don't need to change anything in the code.
If you disable it in the portal, then you don't need to change anything in the code.

Re: connection status: unreachable address
The ip on the portal needs to be your external ip. Not the wifi module, not the computer. Its your internet provider ip on the closest router to the internet. http://whatsmyip.org
Re: connection status: unreachable address
so on the reef angel web site I can adjust the portal settings
Re: connection status: unreachable address
still no luck made changes in portal still not working
Re: connection status: unreachable address
Ok, I don't think you understood what I said.
If you enable the security key in the portal, you MUST change your code to match the same key you have entered in the portal settings.
Where mykey is the same thing you set in the portal settings.
If the keys don't match, the server rejects your data and it never saves it.
If your code is like this:
And you set a portal key, you will never get it to work. You should disable the portal key to make it work or change it to match the portal key like the code posted above.
If you enable the security key in the portal, you MUST change your code to match the same key you have entered in the portal settings.
So, you MUST change your code to be like this:If enabled, please make sure to change the Portal() function in your INO code. It should follow this format:
ReefAngel.Portal("username","key");
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.Portal("lurch","mykey");
If the keys don't match, the server rejects your data and it never saves it.
If your code is like this:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.Portal("lurch");
