Is there a way to access MSR interface remotely? I did the whole port forward thing to port 8111 but no luck?

[Matohl]

Yes, I use the VNC Viewer on my RPi. What system is it on?

[Tarkus]

@matohl Android Temux, Nvidia Shield TV box

[Matohl]

Oh, I don't know ...

[Tarkus]

I can probably team view into my home computer I but thought there may be a more direct way.

Funny you mention this, because for giggles last night I attempted to view MSR in my mobile phone's Chrome browser from within my home network, and pretty much all panels are blank there. So no editing Rules and Expressions from the comfort of my bedroom at midnight, alas.

[toggledbits]

Yeah, a lot of that is going to be just going through and adding the necessary bootstrap classes for the xs, sm, and md viewports, and then seeing what doesn't make sense even then and getting it adjusted. It'll get there, although I still think editing rules on a phone is going to be only for the most... dedicated.

I can see the scenario where it would help though! If there is a corner scenario in the logic that I didn't think about, its almost certain that that situation hits when i'm out. Result: text with "lights are flashing!" and WAF = 0.

I guess dataplicity would work using the same site forwarding as i use for openLuup?

@librasun Strange that as i use android chrome and firefox browsers and there is no issues viewing MSR.

[LibraSun]

@elcid Weird. Here's how my Android (Pixel 4 with latest Chrome Mobile browser) renders a typical MSR page. Notice that it's blank aside from the leftmost section links.

Perhaps I should chalk this up to me running MSR inside a Docker container on my NAS, since we know there are other minor differences.

[toggledbits]

Nothing strange about it. Any device that reports a viewport smaller than "md" according to Bootstrap will not have any instructions for how to lay out the content, and no content is a likely response. Once the interface stabilizes, it will be worth the effort to comb through and add the necessary layout tweaks for smaller devices, with appurtenant placement changes, reductions in functionality, etc.

Indeed, when I clicked the 3-dot menu in Chrome Mobile, and ticked the "Desktop Site" box, bam... full rendering of MSR on my phone, now! Dunno why I didn't think of that before.

@librasun said in MSR Interface Remotely?:

when I clicked the 3-dot menu in Chrome Mobile, and ticked the "Desktop Site"

Great! I didn't think of that either.

I can now access everything on my phone. Before I had the same issue you described and nothing was loaded in the right hand side pane.

Thanks

You can view the left had pain on narrow screen by selecting the page, then press the 3 lines in the left top corner.

FEATURE REQUEST
Include a beacon that periodically updates subscription DNS servers like DynDNS, so that users can create their own remote access solutions. Naturally, this would mean having to update API information and enabling keys in the config files.

Rule with an Interval action or pulse output and a HTTP Request reaction.

I failed to mention that I was thinking of this in the context of you potentially creating a paid service whereby MSR users could login remotely without steering those dollars toward established services.
I'm sure that's just a pipe dream but I'm all about potential revenue sources for guys who deserve to reap the reward of their hard labor.
