Having trouble with home assistant mobile app

Getting URL may be incorrect https://homeassistant.myhouse.com is incorrect what should it be?

Do you have a port forwarding? Or Nginx because you don’t use the HA port in your URL?

To be honest with you I’m no sure what your asking I’m all new to this app and just trying to get the app setup on my iPhone

If you only use your phone while you are inside of your house / home network, you can use the local IP address (normally the app will auto discover the server).

When you want to connect from the outside of your house / home network, you’ll need port forwarding on your server, a Dynamic DNS Service (unless you have a static public IP) and - to make it secure - a proxy like Nginx plus SSL certificate.

Sorry if it’s overwhelming, but outside access is not a single click configuration - at least not if it should be secure and with a high WAF :wink:
