DIY Tool does not see the Mini switch. #68

Open DaleChaney opened 4 years ago

DaleChaney commented 4 years ago

I've brick'd 6 switches, because I can't get a notice in the tool.

I'm on latest version of Windows 10, and I don't have mDNS. I don't have Itunes installed because I don't need it. I don't therefore have Bonjour service, either. So, I'm guessing that this mDNS doesn't work in my case. And, I've installed stand-alone Bonjour from Apple, but not sure if that's right. How do I test to see if mDSN is working?

What do I try next? I'm running out of switches to try.

Please check that your network type is set to private and does allow network discovery. This sloved it for me. Also I did disable all my network adapters except the wifi adapter for the sonoffDiy network.

Thanks for trying to help. But I checked again, and verified that it's set to private, I also turned on discovery. Nuthin....

I've now got my laptop set as a Hotspot using "sonoffDiy" and it's appropriate password. I connect to the sonoff network, and everything looks fine, but when I power up switch,.. nuthin shows in the tool. I can see the device in a ping trace, and it identifies as ESP-nnnnnn. I'm lost.....

the switch just sits there and blinks forever.... quick-short, quick-short, 2 seconds later, it repeats

Did you already tried it with the firewall temporarily disabled?

DaleChaney commented 4 years ago
Thanks for the reply, looks like no one else has a problem. Yes I already tried disabling the firewall.  And I did again just now. I did notice an added character to the network name just now “sonoffDiy 2”.  It was not added by me.  I’ll see if I can rename it. Dale  Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Matthias KneerSent: Sunday, February 9, 2020 6:47 PMTo: itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_ToolsCc: DaleChaney; AuthorSubject: Re: [itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_Tools] DIY Tool does not see the Mini switch.

Hi, same problem for me. I'm able to ping it but i can see anything in the the DIY tool. Firewall disabled, Sonoff is reachable by ping command. Tried on Win10 and Win7 - second on a virtual machine. Same result. Please support if anyone knows the reason....

DaleChaney commented 4 years ago

cichy63, Perhaps we can compare notes, and find our own resolution, as Itead is not supporting us.

what I've done so far....

Tried my old & new Samsung Gs8 & Gs10 as a hotspot. I could logon, but the tool couldn't see it. I also verified that the phone & my laptop were both connected to the router at one point. Still no dice...

Downloaded & tried the newest tool.

I'm now using my ASUS router as the AP, by defining a sonoffDiy network and setting the password. I can logon to the network with my laptop, but the tool still can't see it.

The only thing that appears questionable is weather not I have mdns support - which is how the tool is supposed to find the switch. I didn't when I started, but I loaded Bonjour manually (which supposedly has mdns included).

I don't know what to try next. I'm gonna try to fake it out, by using my HOSTS file to identify the swtch, simulating mdns.

Thanks, Dale

When I try to connect to it via the browser, it doesn't say "not found". Instead it says "rejected login attempt".

cichy63 commented 4 years ago

H, iDaleChaney i did mainly what is written in the readme and some network tutorial. I set up hotspot with samsung (running on lineage) and huawei p10. I also tried setting up manual, higher IP than the sonoff switch as mentioned in issue #65 . Firmware switch is 3.3. It looks to work fine when connected to my home network with ewlink app. So i have no idea what may be wrong...

I was able to solve this by disabling Windows Firewall (Domain, Private and Public networks)

DaleChaney commented 4 years ago

I already tried disabling the firewall & AV,... same thing.

I'm down to Bonjour not supporting mDNS. I removed the old Bonjour service, and installed Apples version, which I got from Itunes. Didn't help.... I found a utilty "Bonjour Browser" from "Hobbiest Software" that claims to test an installed Bonjour. And, it shows nuthin', an empty display. I guess that's what is going on. I assume I'm getting closer.

Why in the world did Itead write a utilitiy that is dependent upon an unsupported function like Bonjour. Maybe Itead should ship Bonjour with their Sonoffs.

DaleChaney commented 4 years ago

I can't believe that Itead ignores this issue since January, without even a comment. It's their code and so many people are having the same issue.

Same problem here. Windows 10, private network, firewall disabled, Sonoff Mini with version 3.3.

I have a second computer connected and I can see the MDNS messages sent by both Windows 10: 21:31:20.269658 IP 192.168.43.166.mdns > 224.0.0.251.mdns: 0 PTR (QM)? _ewelink._tcp.local. (37)

and the Sonoff Mini: 21:31:20.476740 IP 192.168.43.165.mdns > 224.0.0.251.mdns: 0*- [0q] 4/0/0 PTR eWeLink_1000ca16f8._ewelink._tcp.local., (Cache flush) TXT "txtvers=1" "id=1000ca16f8" "type=diy_plug" "apivers=1" "seq=1" "data1={"switch":"off","startup":"off","pulse":"off","pulseWidth":500,"rssi":-33}", (Cache flush) SRV eWeLink_1000ca16f8.local.:8081 0 0, (Cache flush) A 192.168.43.165 (333)
