No remote connection

[chago2013]

I recently purchased a Nexus 6P (which runs Marshmallow) and have it on Project Fi.  I still have my previous phone, a Samsung S3, on Verizon, running on Android 4.4.2 or 3.

I installed Mobilinc on the Nexus and configured it the same as the Samsung phone.  The Samsung works fine both local (connected to my home's wi-fi) and remote.  I can also connect to the controller remotely using a browser on my work PC (so I know the URL/IP work).  The Nexus connects just fine to the controller when local, but it doesn't remotely, wi-fi or cell network.

I do use Tasker for some control tasks.  They run fine on the Samsung, not on the Nexus due to the connection problems.

I've tried a variety of things without luck, including playing with the "Aggressive hand off from wi-fi to cell" setting.  I vaguely recall this being an issue before, possibly something dealing Mobilinc not handling the transition from Wi-Fi to cell very well, but I don't remember for sure or how it may have been fixed.

Any ideas what I can check?  Thanks in advance!
 

P.S.  I posted this same message in the Mobilic forum.  My apologies if the dup violates protocol.

A search here yielded a thread on essentially the same topic.  I think the resolution was a new version of Mobilinc, but don't remember.  Would definitely love to hear from anyone with a smilar set up (Nexus 6p, Project Fi, etc).  Thanks.

Yep, I have a 6P on Project Fi. I don't use Mobilinc anymore, but Tasker calling the ISY REST API works perfectly, home and remote.

Hi chago2013,

 

Please make sure you are running that latest ISY firmware to address an Android 5 incompatibility when accessing the ISY over HTTPS (remote): http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/17075-release-4326-is-now-official/

 

http://mobilinc.com/support/commonquestions/

"I'm using Android 5.x and MobiLinc is unable to connect via a direct IP over HTTPS (externally) to my ISY."

 

Google removed many older HTTPS cipher methods from Android 5.x. As a result, the default security configuration of the ISY became unsupported by Android 5. Universal Devices released a firmware update for ISY-994i users here that addresses the issue. Please update your ISY firmware to 4.2.30 or later.
