Confused Last page of wizard and wifi

Post by skehole »

H everyone. I have everything up and running, complete with the iphone app and the ability to use it from my cells LTE service. My question is on the last page of the setup wizard it asks for:

"forum username"

"dynamic dns"

What are they asking for? My username to THIS forum? Forgive my noobness.

Also, on the app, when I try to load a graph, I get a dialog box that states "Connecting to the portal. This may take a couple minutes" but nothing happens. What am I missing?

Thanks!

forum username is your username for this forum: skehole
When you fill that up, it will start sending data to the server and then your graphs are going to be generated.
Dynamic DNS is for DDNS.
It's a way to translate the ip address to something easy to remember.
So, if you enter for example fishtank on the DDNS field, you can connect to your controller using skehole-fishtank.myreefangel.com instead of your ip address, which your internet provider may also change over time.
