    Can't connect to ImperiHome remotely from iphone - Solved!

    Hi,

    I just set up ImperiHome om my HomeTroller Zee S2 (running HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.313) and I use the iphone ImperiHome app to view and control devices in my home.
    This works great as long as my iphone is on the same network as the HomeTroller but I can't get the app to connect from remote. I am trying to connect using MyHS. The app says "Error Invalid response from API".

    I also installed the ImperiHome app on an android device using the same Local/Remote URL and Login information and both local and remote access is working great.

    For External URL I am using https://connected2.homesser.com/issapi and my MyHS username/password as suggested in the plugin User Guide.

    Is there something wrong with the iphone app?

      several users have reported this problem on iOS, I don't know yet what's the problem. I will investigate.
      For now the workaround is to use the old method, i.e custom http server and open a port on your router.

          It turns out it was a problem on the myhs server configuration, Rich fixed it, and I tested it successfully on my iPad.
          Please test as well and let me know. Thanks

                  iPhone working, iPad Air 2 not working

                  Hello!

                  I have both devices in the same WIFI, they were both o.k. until the last HS3 Update.
                  After the HS3 Update the Imperihome connection stopped working on the iPad, I exported the configuration from iPhone to iPad but it still does not work....

                  Maybe this information helps you?

                  Kind regards,
                  Christian Holzmann

                    guys if you want some help, please give me as much information as you can:
                    - version of HS3, plug-in and IH app?
                    - how is the plug-in configured (ISS Server settings section), and how the app is configured?
                    - is MyHS enabled in HS3?
                    - what error do you get in the IH app?
                    - on the iOS device that doesn't work, from safari, can you access https://connected2.homeseer.com/issapi/system ? and what does it report?

                    thanks

                      I'm using HS3 3.0.0.313, plug-in 3.0.0.19, IH 1.5.8.
                      My ISS server settings have custom http server unchecked and my local API base URL is http://192.XXX.X.XXX:80/issapi. On the IH app I use the same local URL, no remote URL, no login and no password.

                      When I try and connect remotely with my iPhone I don't get an error message, but nothing on my dashboard connects or updates. I get the "status bar" across the top of the screen indicating it's trying to refresh.

                      Accessing the URL https://connected2.homeseer.com/issa.../192.XXX.X.XXX prompts me for credentials and then reports {"id":"My Computer Name","apiversion":1}.

                      Hopefully I've just missed something in my setup.

                      Thanks.

                        If you want to access your system from a remote location (i.e outside from your local network), you need to set the remote URL to https://connected2.homeseer.com/issapi and set the login/password to your myhs credentials

                          Thanks for your help. I figured it was something simple I missed.

                            iOS Remote Access Help

                            Hello.

                            Brand new user and fighting an uphill battle with this HS learning curve. Thank you for creating the plugin. I'm able to use Imperihome locally over wifi, but not remotely. I noticed that in one of the other threads, there's a field in the imperihome plugin config for "External API Base URL" where I presume the "https://connected2.homeseer.com/issapi" goes. That field is not on my config page.

                            Below is what my settings are currently. I'm by no means a programmer, so I appreciate any simplified language you could use in assisting me.

                            - version of HS3, plug-in and IH app?
                            HS3: 3.0.0.318 (Windows)
                            IH plugin: 3.0.0.20
                            IH app (iOS): v1.6.1

                            - how is the plug-in configured (ISS Server settings section), and how the app is configured?
                            Use custom http server: check
                            Http server port: 8072
                            Https enabled: uncheckes
                            Https server port: 8043
                            myhs username and password included

                            - is MyHS enabled in HS3?
                            yes

                            - what error do you get in the IH app?
                            "Error
                            Invalid response from API"

                            - on the iOS device that doesn't work, from safari, can you access https://connected2.homeseer.com/issapi/system ? and what does it report?
                            I input my myHS credentials and then the text reads "404 Bad Request: /issapi/system"

                            Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                              If you want to use myhs to access your system remotely (=easiest solution), you need to uncheck the "Use custom http server"
