Trouble Going Live

Post by Aricml »

I have set up my Wifi attachment and can see my info on the Webbanner on the Portal page. I have also subscribed to a year of service from dyndns.com, updated my router with my dyndns.com hostname and password, set port forwarding to 192.168.1.7 (my wifi attachment of course) for Internal and External Start and End ports all set to port 2000. I also updated my portal wifi address to my username.dyndns-remote.com:2000 and the portal seems to be updating yet with my info.

The connection status still comes up as anreachable and I am unable to make my controller function via the portal. Does anyone have any ideas how to get Portal Live up and kicking? Hopefully I have enough info but if not let me know and I'll get whatever is needed.

When you browse http://username.dyndns-remote.com:2000, do you see "Reef Angel Controller Web Server"?

When I type in username.dyndns-remote.com:2000 I first have to type in a username and password. In these field I enter my wifi authentication info and then it takes me to a screen that says "Reef Angel Controller Web Server"

None of the available apps or Portal can handle the wifi authentication yet :(

So if I disable security on my wif at home, will this then work? I'm not opposed to that if I'll get the functionality I'm hoping for

It's not security on your wifi network.
It's the function you used WifiAuthentication() on your code. Remove it and try again.

Awesome! I can control the RA from my computer and when my phone is on Wifi, from the Android app as well! Thank you so much, I really appreciate everything! I hope you don't mind if I ask one more question.

I can control the relays and what not from the Portal but I can't seem to update the date/time that way, do you have any idea why that might be?

saves you from having to remember the ip address. it works well for people using internet where their ip changes often. You can sign up for the free one, just need to login to the page once a month.

I was able to change the date/time on my RA now, however my PC says 12:42am 2/17/12 and my RA changed to 6:14pm 1/10/08

I did multiple times actually, what I wound up doing is changing my computers clock so that I could at least get the time on the RA right so that my fish would get their light during the daytime. I will try to update the time again when I get home tonight!

I'm having the same issue with mine. I'm trying to change the date/time to my computer's current time via the portal.

It's now Tuesday, February 28, 2012 12:01:09 AM (per my computer and the portal).

My controller says its 01/21/08 05:34:42 PM. ???

Not only is the time wrong, but the date is way off also.

Is there another way to correct the date time on the controller?

Well, I can answer my own question on this one. I just installed RA Client and showed the controllers Date/Time, then hit the "Set Controller Date/Time" button and it fixed the time on my controller to the same time as my computer.

Must be a bug in the .php on the portal page?

I have to check on the code.
I think it's localization issues when I use the javascript :(
Another option is: http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.ph ... 231&p=1755

Good to know. I did a search on "changing date/time" before making my post here and found this thread and stopped looking. I should have looked further and found the one you linked Roberto.

I'll have to make note of that topic for future issues. Mine seems to be fine now though.

That looks to be correct.
I wonder why it didn't update the time correctly.

Not sure either, but no worries. I was able to read the incorrect time/date and write the correct time/date by using RA Client.
