    HomeSeer cannot connect to system might be offline

    I installed HomeSeer Mobile on my Android phone. When I try to sign on I get an error saying "Homeseer cannot connect to system might be offline"

    I'm running HomeSeer Pro on Win7 Ultimate
    Win7 firewall is turned off.
    In tools, Setup, Network, MyHS Remote Access Settings
    I have a check mark in:
    Enable remote access through MyHS service
    Automatically create HSTouch users authenticated through MyHS

    What can I do to get HomeSeer Mobile connected?

    Thank you,
    Docfxit

    I'm getting the same error. Previous builds worked fine. HSTouch client is also failing to connect through MyHS. Direct connections are working in HS Touch, but not HSMobile. Server is Win10 Pro Workstation, client is Note9, HS is v.473. Directly connecting to the IP starts to look like it's going to work, but then I get a message "Error A task was cancelled" and an OK. If I go back into settings, the IP Address, username and password are blanked out again.

      Try a restart of Homeseer and/or the host system. I did both and I'm back on the air.

        An error containing "system might be offline" is a specific trapped instance that indicates that the system is listed as offline according to MyHS. An error stating that "the task was canceled" will typically indicate that a timeout occurred while trying to connect.

        docfxit Can you access your system through MyHS?

          I still can't connect. The exact message I am getting is:
          "Error Cannot connect to system, might be offline"

          I have rebooted Win7 running Homeseer.

          Thanks,

              Thank you for the reply...
              When I try to sign in to https://myhs.homeseer.com/ I get an error saying:
              "HomeSeer is not running."

              I don't think it has anything to do with the problem but when I start HomeSeer I am getting an error saying:
              "Error~!~(1) Unable to initialize interface Nest :Either no license or trial has expired"
              I don't know why the Nest interface won't Initialize.
              And I don't know how to figure it out.

              Thank you,

                If you are connecting to the MyHS service, you'll see a message in the log to that effect.
                Sep-20 22:22:30 Info System connected to MyHS Service successfully with license ID XXXXX.

                To see if you are connected, you can run the netstat command from a cmd prompt.
                Code:
                C:\Users\homeseer>netstat -n
                
                Active Connections

                .......
                .......
                Comb thru the ream of output to find an entry in the "Foreign Address" column with a port number of 10300.
                Code:
                  TCP    192.168.1.103:52821    [COLOR=#FF0000]209.126.122.109:10300[/COLOR]  ESTABLISHED
                Note that the foreign IP address what "connected2.homeseer.com" resolves to:

                Code:
                C:\Users\homeseer>nslookup connected2.homeseer.com
                Server:  UnKnown
                Address:  192.168.1.1

                  This is what I get:
                  Code:
                  C:\Users\Gary>netstat -na | find "10300"
                    TCP    192.168.168.9:51040    209.126.122.109:10300  ESTABLISHED
                  Code:
                  C:\Users\Gary>nslookup connected2.homeseer.com
                  Server:  dns1.dslextreme.com
                  Address:  66.51.205.100

                            connected2.trafficmanager.net
                  It looks like your server was:
                  UnKnown
                  My Server is my ISP DNS
                  dns1.dslextreme.com

                  Your Address is your gateway.
                  My Address is my primary DNS address.

                      Same offline message here going to connected2. However connected11 is up and redirecting. This does lead to a problem with plugins/tools expecting the URL to be the same. I've sent an email to support.

                        This is not an issue; my router (Server: UnKnown, Address: 192.168.1.1) provides the DNS server function; however it doesn't have a DNS name hence the 'UnKnown'. My older router (actually two routers ago) looked like what you have.

                        I don't see this as an issue; connected11 and connected2 resolve to the same thing.

                          It's only an issue I guess for me as I have stuff going directly to connected2 and it wasn't redirecting but failing.

                            Do you have any idea why this message:
                            Code:

                            Isn't mentioned in the starup log?

                            Is there supposed to be a Service running?

                            I just got an error on the HomeSeer app on my android.
                            "System not compatible. Please update from 3.0.0.435 to 3.0.0.3.0.0.470 or newer."
                            I ran HS3Updater.exe and it said I was up-to-date.
                            Is there a later version?
                            How would I get the later version?

                              It doesn't show in the startup log, just the regular log. On my last startup, it appears 6 seconds after the last entry of the startup log.

                              On Tools->Setup->Network tab, under heading
                              MyHS Remote Access Settings
                              there is a checkbox 'Enable remote access through MyHS service' that must be checked.
