Reef Angel Forum

Wifi on my reef angel has gotten to the point I rarely even try to get it set up anymore. I know part of this is due to my internet service provider and their system updates but I had some time today and I can't get it to connect. I keep getting an end of stream error when I try to connect from the app. Suggestions? I've been a RA user for years but unfortunately it's starting to get to the pii t of becoming a fancy timer

The new cloud wifi should take care of that as it doesn't require any connection from the app to the controller.
It uses a cloud server so you no longer need firewall setup and the data just keep streaming all the time.

That's great except I already have two of the older wifi attachments...

Do you know how to get the "get e" log from the wifi attachment? Can you post?

I've never done that. I'll have to find instructions

Connect the wifi attachment to USB-TTL cable and open putty or tera term.
Open a new connection to the serial port at 57600 baud
Type $$$ within a second
Then type get e and hit enter.
It should dump the settings.

I would recommend resetting the settings.

Ok I tried resetting and still getting unexpected end of stream. What's next?

Does uapp give you these error too?

It says unable to Process controller data

Screenshot

What do you get if you connect to the controller?
http://ipaddress:2000/r99

Says page did not send any data

The log you showed earlier said your ip address was 192.168.0.2.
Did anything change?

Every time you set it up almost it gets a new IP from the router. We'll, it jumps between 5 or 6 different ones depending on what is available at the time....

Ok, if you are sure that is the IP address, there may be something wrong with either the module or the cable.

You need to set it static on your router. If you aren't using cloud wifi or star then it's not going to work with your port forwarding..

Sorry but i think you must be misunderstanding. It doesn't receive a new IP every time it connects...just when setting it up. I'vehad one of these for 6 years and never had to set static IP.

That being said I reset everything again, deleted the manual port forwarding I put in place and disconnected and reconnected all cables. I can now connect when on wifi but I cannot connect externally using the gateway ip or the router ip

Ok well at least you know that it's working now. So the app is working properly now?

Did you re-setup the port forwarding? It sounded like you went from .2 to .8 or vice-versa. The port-forwarding needs to match that.

Apologies for any miscommunication.

Here is the current state. When home on wifi, connecting works (sometimes takes a few attempts of getting errors), but when the app is set to away and I'm off home network it will not connect and says timeout. However....the portal updates all parameters but shows connection status of unreachable address.....thoughts on this? Appreciate the help as always! @rimai @lnevo

Sounds like port forwarding

I agree 100%

So it's possible that port forwarding is half set up? Forwarding on home network but not off network? How is the portal updating partially via external networks?

There is no forwarding in the "Home" network. Forwarding is to get you from your router to the RA inside your network. The portal gets updated because the RA makes an *outgoing* connection to the portal every 5 minutes, but you cannot connect internally to a device (RA) behind your firewall/router which is where the forwarding comes into play. On the router you want to make sure the port 2000 is forwarded to the IP address of your RA on port 2000 and make sure the port is open on the outside. (sometimes you have to add this also to the firewall)
