Good try.

Did you happen to try the U-App yet? At least then you'd narrow it to Curt's.

Also did you try browsing on the phone to it from Chrome?

Not on the phone, but I did reach it from chrome on my laptop.

It pulled up the internal web server, but just the title.
The interface never came up.

Do you know if the issue is with authentication or with ddns? Maybe disable the auth part and see if the android app works with ddns first?

By the way, until just now I had been reading your name as Sao-chen and assumed you were chinese and just went by Steve in real life. Now I see it's Sacohen. haha.

You need /wifi for the interface

Alan do you tapatalk? His signature says "Steve's PDE"

Haha Alan, that's funny.

The server authentication has been disabled since Roberto said that was the cause of my problems with the Portal, because the Portal is not setup for the authentication yet.

I'm having the same issue. No problems with the portal, U-App, or connecting directly to the /wifi server, but can't connect with Reef Angel Status. My no-ip address works fine.

Sao-Chen, why do you have a link to some guy named Steve's .pde in your sig?

I never tried U-App.

I just tried U-App and it works.
Sorry Curt

Alright, I followed up with the problem with the hostname resolution error. The problem is the underscore character "_". That is an invalid character to be used in hostnames.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname#R ... host_names

A little exert from the article/page:

The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-').

Yes, these domain names work with browsers but they realistically should not work. The underscores are used in domain names but not allowed in hostnames due to specifications. There's actually a full article on the topic linked from the wiki page.
Since my app utilizes a different network library than the default/stock android library (on a side note, the library that I use will be the default library on the next iteration of android...but I digress), that library strictly adheres to the standards, thus breaks the way the DDNS is implemented by Roberto.

So, the underscore should be changed to a hyphen to meet the internet standards. This will be something that Roberto will have to handle and perform.

Thanks for the follow up.

It's been changed. Try again with hyphen

awesome! that was SUPER fast.

Perfect. It works great. Thanks guys.

I don't think you need the speedometer, just a line of text for Mode, Speed, Duration and maybe Threshold since that was added to the new code.

If you want to take it further you can make it link the dimming modules where if you press it for a couple of seconds you get a drop down menu where you can choose from the available options.

I personally probably wouldn't use that because my code randomly chooses a mode everyday or on reboot.

Would this be better served as a page that can be scrolled to or just left at the bottom of the controller information? a part of me says page and another says controller information.
I'm leaning towards a separate page because that would follow with the others and have all that look isolated to a specific section. If it was at the bottom of the controller page, then it would be mixed with other values and data.

So, I dunno. The best option I think is to ask what would people would suggest?

Originally I was thinking at the bottom of the controller page, but after seeing how Roberto did it on the U-App I kinda like that.

Have you seen how he did it?
He did a separate page.

No, I have not seen how it is there. I just loaded up the app but since I don't have a dc pump or have it enabled, it is not showing up for me.

It's the same as the RF screen Curt, except no Radion stuff

Here's a couple of screen shots.





The items are clickable like your PWM settings so you can press for a couple of seconds and then it will bring up a drop down menu to change the mode on a entry box to change the speed or duration.

awesome.

thanks for the screenshots steve

No problem.

Possible bug? Library or programming issue?

On the dimming expansion screen:

Channel 0 is at 0%. I override to value x. Value changes to **x%. Clear override. Value changes to x% (not zero) and light stays on at x%. The only way to get it back to zero is to override to 0 and then clear.

hmmmm. I will have to check on it and see what I can find out.

Expected behavior

One would think that when the override is cleared it would return to the original value...

If your INO is setting a value it will.
