Old iPhone app stops working after processor replacement

[DHKaplan]

I had been using the original iPhone app successfully with HWI version 1.65 until my processor H8p5-mi-120 took a power surge. I had the processor replaced and uploaded the database file that had been in use at the time of the surge. Everything works fine now with the basic Lutron system. I can upload the database with the HWI software successfully and we finally have lights again.


However, now the iPhone app has stopped connecting. I can FTP and Telnet into the processor on my home LAN, but the iPhone can't. I get an error message "Connection Time Out. Failed to connect to the Lutron processor".


Does anyone have any ideas why the app would stop connecting when I am using the same software version and database? The only thing that changed was a new (same model) processor. Could some firmware setting that I have no access to have changed?


Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for the thought, but I do keep the IP static. I think part of the problem originally might have been a corrupt password... that was resolved and the system works fine on the local lan.

Final problem, not resolved, is that I had used to port forward so I could use the app out of the house, and that stopped working.

I could not get in from outside via Telnet or FTP, while I COULD on the local lan. Of course that probably isn't the app, but my router. Never did track it down. Although it was working fine before... I did try changing ports but no luck.

Finally set up a VPN for the home lan and now can use the app both in and outside the house...
