help connecting ctrlHome via Portal

[nwchicago]

Hi,

 

I have the portal up and running to communicate with amazon echo "alexa" and it's going pretty well.

 

Ever since I migrated from my pure Insteon setup to ISY, I've been missing remote access via iPhone.

 

I've heard that it's possible to connect to my ISY remotely using ctrl home and the portal, however when I enter my credentials for the portal into ctrl home, it doesn't work.

 

Does anyone have advice or recommendations?

 

Thanks.

From the ctrlHome app site, "It doesn't integrate with other controllers and is designed to supplement your existing system."

OK.  I got it working.

 

So ctrlHome is designed to provide a simple iPhone interface to your ISY.

 

The normal settings allow you to do it from within your home network by specifying your ISY's IP address, however, you can also connect to it through the ISY Portal.

 

This is how I fixed it:

 

1.  Launch ctrlHome

2.  Go to settings

3.  Host enter "https://my.isy.io"please note you need to manually edit the prefill text to be  https

4.  slide the selector for Allow Self Sign SSL Cert to green (on)

5.  User name - enter your portal user name

6.  Password - enter our portal password

 

This was done using ctrlHome version 1.3

 

You can find it at the iPhone appStore.
