Access through the Internet
Access to the web interface is not limited to your home network. Instead you can access
the interface from any point of the world where you have Internet connection. So you
could turn on your home coffee machine from on the way already for example.
For this purpose it is necessary to open port 80 in the router and forward it to the IP
address of the Light-Manager. For testing you can disable Wi-Fi in your phone and enter
the external IP address of your router (given from your Internet provider) in the browser.
The web interface should open up immediately if you have mobile data. Now the web
interface is reachable from on the go.
Most DSL connections use dynamic IP addresses. This means that the IP address changes
once within 24 hours. To keep access to your web interface the Light-Manager offers
DynDNS service free of charge.
This has just to be enabled
under

.
From
now
on
the
web
interface is always available
under the shown URL. If a
different port than port 80 is
used, the port number has to
be appended with a colon. So
the final URL might be:
http://0123456789ab.dns.jbmedia.de:100
