Lightning Terminal App Help Please

[BonzoDogDooDah]

Hi All,

I used the Lightning Termminal App the other day to do a loop out but I did not see where to choose which channel to pick to perform the loop out as that tab never presented itself? So I did a loop out anyway and it sent 250k sats to my BTC wallet after more than 1 hour. I can’t see where the 250k sats came from as there was no increase in inbound liquidity to any of our channels or a decrease in any? I realize we are advanced newbies but if anyone knows what happened and how we can possibly do a loop out properly next time we would really appreciate it.

The Lightning Terminal App in Umbrel does not seem to have all the features that the CLI version does.

Sorry but another thing, is it possible to use the Lightning Terminal’s Auto Loop feature like the CLI version has when using the Lightning Terminal App in Umbrel? I did not see where this could be done?

Thank you

If the sats ended up in your on-chain wallet, then they definitely came from a channel. If you want to use a UI experience rather than directly using the CLI, then I would recommend connecting to terminal.lightning.engineering. From there, you will be able to see more information about Loops and also setup Autoloop as you asked. There are more guides on that in our docs. Feel free to reach out with any other questions.

Hi levmi, I appreciate your help, thank you. :)

Of course, happy to help! Does this solve your issue moving forward? If so, we can close this issue :)

Hi levmi, We logged our node onto the website and could see the autoloop section but it differs from the lightning Terminal app in Umbrel. We clicked on the auto loop tab but it seems to be linked with your pool service. Please tell us why it is so different from the Umbrel app?

Thank you.

Hi Orange,

Thanks for reaching out. To setup an Autoloop, you have two options. You can either set it up at the Node Level or at the Channel Level. Either way, you just need to drag and drop the sliders at either your overall node level or within individual channels. Here is an explainer for the way to use it at the channel level with screenshots: https://x.com/MichaelLevin/status/1542215898139877376?s=20 Sorry for any confusion! Hopefully is fairly straightforward from that point :) Let me know if not.

Hi levmi,

Thank you for the information. I will try this asap and let you know how it goes. I do not recall seeing that when we were logged into the Lightning Terminal website but hopefully I will on my next visit. Is it possible that the browser we were using would show that website incorrectly? I will try different browsers just to be sure. Your support is most appreciated.

Regards,

Orange

Hi Orange,

It shouldn't be possible that the website shows the UX incorrectly. Assuming you're connecting your node to Lightning Terminal on the Web. You should see a very similar UX to the screenshots included in the tweet above. The only major difference would be the top bar navigation vs. side bar navigation. But, once you reach the Loop page, you should be able to easily drag and drop the channel/node level sliders and set up Loops. Let me know if you need any more assistance. Happy to help :)
