Hostname error about android

[78davidcross]

Thanks. I've posted a message on the HA Discord to see if others can point me in the right direction.

that error means DNS was not able to resolve the name into an address; reasons can include inaccurate Android configuration, VPN in use, or simply incorrect hostname.

You are correct. But the app was working fine before the recent update. This is not an issue with my phone, my DNS, my connections. The error occurs on two devices we own, both on 4G and our home WiFi, and the same error on my geographically separate work WiFi. And just because it appears to be a name resolution error, doesn't mean that is actually what is going on. Regards, David Cross (Sent whilst mobile)

Last release was 10 months ago, so not sure what you mean by a "recent update":

I've logged a ticket with naba.casa support as the host URL when accessed in a regular browser returns then same 503 issue.

But it would be useful for the HA integration to display the host HTTP and other data. Whilst I have it recorded separately, I can't tell if its changed or been modified. It seems my only option is to delete the current instance and add it back again.

delete which "instance"? instance of what?

[jpmens]

Ah, ignore, I think you said it earlier:

If the HTTP endpoint has changed in HA for some reason, how do I find out what that now is

I think you'll have to take that up with the folks at the HA project.

Ah - that was my suspicion, was just rebuilding 2.4.10 to test it. The fact that you're seeing an HTTP status code means OT is getting that back from its configured remote endpoint, and it seems that the DNS lookup failure is what's being reported by nabu.casa itself.

Hope you get that sorted.

Agree with JP on this - I don't think we run or control the OT integration on HA, do we?
