It's the RA Star. Is it the same behavior? I added in port 2000 as allowed for the IP it got and I can get to it internally, but not from outside the house.rimai wrote:If you have the RA*, use the UApp and don't enter anything for ip address nor port. Simply add the forum username and password when creating the profile.
This way you won't need to worry about any port forwarding.
I think that is where i am confused. In Uapp what do i need to then configure to allow myself access to star anywhere, as i have network info in there, and opened port 2000, but if i can get rid of that, and not have to worry about it great! also i noticed in another post about DDNS. is that what i then need to setup, as i do have my network on DHCP so the Star will change addresses at somepoint im sure.rimai wrote:The RA* is capable of using the cloud server.
The advantage is that you don't need to setup any port forwarding and it will work inside or outside of your wifi network.

Use Uapp and the cloud server.
Simply delete the profile you have and add a new one and enter only the forum username and password.
Yep. I deleted it completely, Named the controller, and then added my creds for the forum. The head unit does say cloud connected.rimai wrote:Did you add a new profile?
I went in and did a few things, or tried to.rimai wrote:Can you open uapp on Chrome and press F12 to get developer tools?
Then copy paste the log.
I am on the network, i was trying from a PC. How do i create the account in the U app app? Theres no where to enter my credentials for the forum. when i add controller it wants IP address name and port. version 1.0.2 is what is installed. Does this mean i cant connect to the controller via tablet in the house? Its going to be easier to do that for some modes until i configure ALexa control for modes.rimai wrote:Make sure you are not connected to your wifi network.
I am just trying to figure out if there is any block from within your wifi network.

It is so much easier to just use webpage app and create a shortcut to your home screen.
The method you got it working is with ip address and port, which requires port forwarding on your router to access from outside your wifi and it also requires you to keep hitting refresh button to grab new values.
The cloud is the best method for RA*.
Try on both http and https pages.

Click connect.
Are you able to establish connection?
That was it! I didn't realize it was case sensitive. I was able to connect via the page you sent me, and from uapp. I'm so used to the sites I work with and support not being case sensitive, thst I didn't even think of that. Good to know! All set now! Thanks sir!!!!rimai wrote:Try using the username with the same case. It is case sensitive.
