rick.curl Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I've been using Mobilinc Pro for a long time and decided to have a look at UD Mobile on my Android phone. It works fine thru Wifi as a local connection, but the remote connection fails. Whether or not I have "use ISY portal for remote connection" checked, I always get the message "Error (IOException) javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshaleException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:Trust anchor for certification path not found." Can anyone help me resolve this? Thanks. -Rick Link to comment
Techman Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) In UD Mobile, go into SYSTEMS, click on your ISY and make sure "Use ISY Portal for Remote Connections" is enabled. Edited July 8, 2023 by Techman Link to comment

Yep- as I mentioned in my post, I get the same error regardless of whether or not the box is checked. Thanks, though. Link to comment

rick.curl Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Hi Techman- That got me started thinking. Port 8443 was being used for something else on my system, so I had forwarded external port 4043 to port 8443 on the Eisy. I just tried killing the other forwarding rule and changing the external port on Eisy's forwarding rule to 8443. Now I'm getting a different error message: "System: Eisy ERROR: Unexpected close. failed to connect to (my public IP address)(port 4043)" So something is still looking for port 4043 but I'm not sure what.

MrBill Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 @rick.curl it’s unclear if you are using the ISY portal or forwarding ports. You don’t need both. If you have portal use that and you don’t need to forward any ports to ISY. 1 Link to comment
rick.curl Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 I tried turning off all port forwarding. Now I get: "Error (IOexception) java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "my.isy.io"": no address associated with hostname". What should I try next? Link to comment
MrBill Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I'm going to assume that the use ISY portal box ended up checked. I don't use android, I'm going to ask the moderator to move this over to UD Mobile as this appears to be more of a UD Mobile issue than an eisy issue. Link to comment
Solution Javi Posted July 9, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 9, 2023 If you don't have any favorites setup on UD Mobile with eisy, then delete the system, trash icon at the top right. The add the system again by following prompts. After login, or portal account selection, you will be prompted to select system. If the system exists on portal select the system when prompted, if not select Add New System and follow prompts to add system to portal. Link to comment

I'm up and running. -But now I'm curious- I would prefer to have UD Mobile connect directly instead of through the portal, but when I try it I get the message I reported in my first post: "Error (IOException) javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshaleException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:Trust anchor for certification path not found." Is it possible for UD mobile to work without the portal? I can live with the portal if I have to, but I would prefer not. At least I've got a workable solution now. Thanks for the help! -Rick Link to comment

See this post for explanation of certificate error Link to comment
rick.curl Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Thanks, but as mentioned in the linked thread, there is no information given as to how to install a certificate for the Eisy. Although portal is working, I prefer not to use it because: 1. I like to be independent of third-party services as much as possible. 2. If the portal is down I can't control my lights remotely 3. I don't use Alexa or Google assistant. Looks like I'll be implementing a VPN. I Do appreciate the help, though!!! -Rick Link to comment
Geddy Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 @rick.curl I get the thought of #1, but when you think/consider what's offered in the Portal subscription for the price it can't be beat! ($20 for TWO years!) But maybe check the wiki for info about other remote connection options: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile#Remote_Connections NOTE: that the certificate portion is beyond the scope of support from UDI. So your VPN comment might be the best option for your situation. From my experience the Portal connection works great, and the likely hood of down time is fairly slim. How often do you really use the app to control something in the house while remote? I only ask because I almost never do. (That's the whole point of automation, right? Not to have to do something manually.) I'm surprised when somebody makes a comment along the lines of #2 above. Link to comment
