This should not be the problem, we should investigate further what the problem is. Just installing it again might solve it for you but won’t fix the potential problem.

Open Pimatic from homescreen IPAD & Iphone
-
Thanks, if you need any logs to debug the issue let me know!
I’m just using the root url, http://pimatic for homescreen.But i also tried http://pimatic/index.html or http://username:pass@pimatic
If i make a redir html file it works but then pimatic is not opening in fullscreen but in safari. -
I’m using a dns service and an url like https://blah.noip.me from the popup in the screenshot it looks like the iPhone maybe can’t resolve the url from the homescreen. Have you tried something like http://pimatic.local or the IP directly?
-
Yes, i also tried the ip directly. I only have access from local network, I’m using VPN to access pimatic from remote.
http://pimatic.local results in the same error, first i get a login screen and after that the same message that i posted before.It does connect at first, but then throws the error ( if i don’t have network connectivity i get an error message at the bottom of the screen)
-
Have you changed the URL since you first saved it as a bookmark?
I think the homescreen links still have quite some bugs with cache and the app manifest.
@sweetpi could we add some random comment to the manifest after each start of the web-gui?You could try some of the tips here:

(But I wouldn’t go for the hardcore solutions like resetting network settings or homescreen) -
Do you use wifi extenders in your network and specifically those of tp-link?
If so, reboot that extender. tp-link extenders are known to not correctly route wifi traffic “after some time”.Next to that: a reboot of your router, possible extender(s), switch(es) and/or homeplugs is always a good thing to do once in a while.

The homescreen link somehow works again, i connected the iphone to my macbook and opened safari in developer mode. Then i opened pimatic from my phone in safari on my macbook (develop->iphone->pimatic) and used my creds to logon into pimatic webinterface, after that i could open de homescreen link again without any error on both, my ipad and iphone.
-
Update: I had the issue with the homescreen again after i rebooted my synology. I’m running grafana in a docker and after the restart it didn’t start the grafana docker. In pimatic i created a iframe device wich opens the grafana interface, but after the reboot it couldn’t open the url.
I think the homescreen issue is related to the iframe plugin. If the iframe can’t open the url the issue with homescreen occurs. After i deleted the iframe device that opens grafana i could use the homescreen link again.

Wouldn’t it be more sensible to encode the version number of the mobile front end into the digest to make sure the cache will be updated each time when a new version of the frontend has been installed? Normally, you don’t want the digest to change each time when pimatic has been restarted.
