Remote acces with GIRA S1 and Android Home Assistant APP

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hello everyone,
I need some help with my remote access from my smartphone. In particular with the Home Assistant APP

As a brief to my structure. I have a KNX installation in combination with the Home Assistant. I installed a GIRA S1. This makes the tunnel between KNX and Home Assistant. The GIRA S1 also provides me with a secure remote connection from the Internet to all web-based interfaces in my network via a server in Germany. So also on the frontend of the Home Assistant. There is a remote URL for this which I have to enter, similar in principle to the Home Assistant Cloud.

So far so good, if I do the whole thing on my smartphone with Google Chrome or Firefox, it works perfectly. However, when I enter this URL in the Home Assistant app, it always automatically opens Google Chrome. Once I managed to get it working in the app. But I have no idea how.

Does anyone have an idea of what that could be?

Hi, did you managed it finally. I’m also interested to get remote access on HA via Gira S1. Thanks for any advise and help, Rene

Hello Rene,

yes, I solved it. The trick is to take the “correct” URL. If you are on the GIRA device portal, a URL like this will be generated.

https://http.httpaccess.net/GIS1YY***/http://192.168.***.***:89123

That does not work. Go to the URL of the GIRA device portal with a “normal” browser. Then you will see that you are being directed to another URL. It will look something like this.

https://192-168---h8123-gis1yy***.httpaccess.net/lovelace/default_view

If you use this URL it works.

Kind regards
Matthias

Hi all,
I
I also have some issues with remote acces to my Apple HA app via Gira S1. I have used the correct URL (which works, as I have just copied it in the browser), however having typed it in under External URL there is an error “no server could be found under the hostname”… I trust, that somebody can help me out.

Best regards
Ralf
