I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on that could be of interest to anyone wanting local integration of Blue Iris motion alerts or Shelly Motion Sensor devices. This project also has broader application, and demonstrates how Edge driver developers can ‘break free’ from two current limitat…

Could you say what you did to whitelist? I was never able to get it to work right and would certainly prefer to, even without a port open.

Found it in the help file In the list of “Limit IP addresses” counterintuitively it’s used to limit and grant. If you use the “^” symbol followed by the IPaddress of your choosing it will grant it access without authentication. So I used that with the IP of my hub. “^192.168.xxx.yyy”

Hi, just signed up to reply here. I first tried out your vEdgecreator, awesome, then went ahead with BlueIris and link triggers to presence sensors, also awesome. But then I fiddled a bit with my network, new router and things. Since I was still trying things out, disabled all your devices and clo…

Sorry guys, fixed it with some googling. This happens when another service/app is using the same port. With a little bit of searching I found Java is listening at the same port and was blocking it. Shut down Java for a bit and it went up and running again! Edit: that breaks the Omada software cont…

Hi- glad you figured that out. I’d like to see if I can capture that error in the app and give a more useful error message, but I’ll have to see. Your error message is helpful towards that end so thank you. You can use the edgebridge configuration file to change the port it uses. It doesn’t care…

@TAustin I had a few questions on how to set this up for Blue Iris. I’ve got Blue Iris set to start as a service. What do I need to do to get the Forwarding Bridge Server to also run automatically (even if a user isn’t logged on to the PC)? I’ve tried adding a shortcut to my Startup, but that seem…

[image] Puzzling: get the Forwarding Bridge Server to also run automatically It depends what platform you are using, but if you happen to have a Raspberry Pi, I have posted some instructions for how to do this in the edgebridge readme . [image] Puzzling: The IoT VLAN isn’t allowed to acce…

I’m running the ‘edgebridge.exe’ on the Blue Iris server (Windows 10). As for the talking back and forth, the Blue Iris / Edge Bridge PC can talk to the VLAN with the ST Hub. Currently the opposite isn’t true because the IoT VLAN is isolated from seeing the rest of the LAN. It sounds like I’ll need…

OK, that’s why your SmartThings LAN Motion device isn’t able to talk to edgebridge and its greyed-out. Once you make your network changes, then things should work. It’s ok to leave the port number off your LAN Device Address in settings for now. I’m a little rusty on how to autostart things on Wi…

All - I’ve created a new, separate topic specifically for the Edgebridge application, since it wasn’t obvious that this topic was covering it! Please post your comments regarding edgebridge there.

Thank you.
