Google Mesh Wifi won't connect #80

Closed corystew closed 5 years ago

corystew commented 5 years ago

The Luna MCU won't connect to a Google Mesh WIFI. I have been a user of the Konnected / Smarthings integration since 2.0 days… I recently upgraded to the google wifi mesh network with 3 Access points and the konnected node mcu stopped functioning. it seems to connect to the network and get an IP(I can ping it) but it will not readd to Smarthings. The search for device never finds the device.

I have tested the latest release and prior releases of firmware will not work with a google wifi mesh network. Is it possible that this functionality could be added to a future release? I will gladly participate in the development and testing effort.

We have not been able to reproduce this issue. Google WiFi works great as far as we know. Several of us on the Konnected team (and MANY Konnected customers) are using Google WiFi with no issues at all.

I think your issue is unrelated to Google WiFi.

corystew commented 5 years ago

I agree the issue may not be directly related to Google WiFi however if you have an existing IP network and add Google WiFi to it it creates another network which then causes the issue. The issue is that the node device has to be on the same IP network as the Samsung hub. I assume since the networking is basic in the node device it has this limitation. Is there a road map item to enhance the networking capability of the node device?

The issue you're describing is known a "Double-NAT". More info and suggested workarounds here: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/6277579?hl=en

Konnected & SmartThings uses the SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) to discover the devices on your local network. By design, SSDP traffic is limited only to a single subnet/network. It's not a limitation of the networking capabilities of the Konnected device, but rather the design of local LAN discovery that's causing the problem you're describing.

I recommend that you address the double-NAT situation and then you should be good to go.

I have it resolved by plugging my Smartthings hub into one of the Google WiFi access points. Is the local LAN discovery going to be enhanced to function on more than the local network?

No, it is not possible to "enhance". SSDP is a standardized protocol and by design it only works on the immediate subnet.

corystew commented 5 years ago

OK. Thank you for the information and feedback on this. I don't prefer to have my Smartthings hub on the wireless network but it seems at this time it is the only choice.

A better solution may be to bridge your multiple networks into one. Unless you have specific reasons for keeping two separate networks off of the same ISP connection, there's no value in doing it that way.

corystew commented 5 years ago

Google WiFi is not able to run in bridge mode with multiple access points running mesh. Is what it is for now...
