Since November 11th, 2021, the internet service used to query the public IP address is no longer supported. Unfortunately we missed that….
Despite “try … catch” the system hangs if there is an internet connection.
REMEDY for current versions (4.6.xx or higher):
Fortunately, the problem can be solved here quite easily.
- Please disconnect Internet
- Now restart the realKNX (power cycle the server or ARAGON Base respectively)
- After the device has started up, port 3000 can be reached again.
- Now connect internet again
- Check under “About” whether the version is 4.6.xx. If version 4.5 or older is installed, then continue on “OLDER VERSIONS”
- Carry out the update of the system (small symbol at the bottom left in the realKNX server tile). After the update, at least 4.6.40 should be installed.
ALTERNATIVE: For installations where the Internet cannot be switched off (unplugged), we have also prepared a NodeRed Flow that installs the new realKNX version. Here is the link to the code: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/proknx/node-red-lib/master/emergency-update.json
The procedure would then be as follows:
- Open the link and copy the content of the “JSON file” to the clipboard
- Open NodeRed (<IP>:1880), select “Import” in the menu at the top right, and paste the contents of the clipboard into the new window
- Now press “Save” at the top right to activate the flow
- Press the blue inject button once in the new flow
- Version 4.6.40 or higher should be installed after 4 to 5 minutes.
OLDER VERSIONS (V3.3 – V4.5)
Please do not perform an update. By installing the patch listed below, it is suggested to the system that there is no Internet.
- Open this link and copy the content of the JSON file to the clipboard
- Open NodeRed (<IP>:1880), select “Import” in the menu at the top right, and paste the content of the clipboard into the new window
- Press SAVE at the top right
- Select the new tab “Emergency work-around v4.5 & older” and press the blue Inject button once (this is the button on the left side of the first blue node)
- Please be patient, the modification will take 4 to 5 minutes.
Please note: In order to start up the system so that it is temporarily functional again, the Internet connection must be interrupted for the duration of the start-up.
Please contact support@proknx.com if you have problems updating.
