Hello @qmoreira,

 

Do you use the most current version of iOS (iOS 11.0.2)?

 

Did you try to remove the app completely (when you remove the app via settings you have two ways to remove the app, with its cache files and without) and reinstall it? 

 

Could you provide a screenshot of the error?

    @qmoreira, could you restart your Home Center, and on the screen above, click cancel and verify (type in again) the login credentials.

     

    PS. Did you choose to remove it completely (cache data as well)?

    Are you on the same WiFi as Home Center?

    Okay, but can you log in to your Home Center via the app on cellular network?

    @samuel, I asked about it earlier

    could you restart your Home Center

     

    It looks like a very uncommon error. We couldn't reproduce it.

    no I can't log in with cellular network... and yes I have restarted it, erased app completely and installed again and nothing... same message...

     

    I can log in remotely using iPhone browser with cellular network... but no with app...

     

    after making backup all this happened... I was using it normally... I even moved from DHCP to static ip (keeping the same IP)... restarted router.... 

     

    I don't know what else to do

     

     

    UPDATE: i had to leave home right now... so I just tried to log in with cellular network and it work... I didn't do anything... 

     

    I doesn't load images correctly

     

    Please login or register to see this attachment.

     

    but at least it logs in... as I come back will see if I can log on same wifi network and write back

    @qmoreira, could you do the following actions:

     

    1) Remove all devices from Home Center:

    2) Reboot your Home Center

     

    3) In the meantime you can "kill" the Fibaro app on your iPhone.

    As far as app is concerned:

    What type of credentials do you use to login to mobile app? Fibaro ID or local credentials?

     

    When it comes to the error:

    Quote

    There was a problem with the connection to the backups server. Please contact support.

    Please set up date manually, to the correct date.

     

    Moreover, you can set DNS servers to Google ones:

    To understand your situation correctly, could you fill in the answers below:

     

    I can connect using

    APP on my WIFI: YES/NO

    APP on my CELLULAR: YES/NO

    APP on friend's WIFI: YES/NO

     

     

    Custom icons are downloaded only via LOCAL access on your local WiFi (the same as Home Center).

    I can connect using

    APP on my WIFI:  NO

    APP on my CELLULAR: NO

    APP on friend's WIFI: YES

    @qmoreira,

     

    Did you check your DNS servers? Are they set to Google's?

     

    Did you set the date manually to a proper one (current) and rebooted the device? After that Home Center reboot, did you reboot the iOS device as well?

     

    And finally, some posts ago, you wrote:

    actually I don't know how it was fixed... I just received an email saying that they have log in from iPad and iPhone... and everything was fine now... 

     

    then I log in and the problem was solved...

    As you could see from the Support response, it was a problem with special character.

  • hi @I.Srodka

     

    the support response was not that.. in other topic here in forum someone told me to check if there were a special character in mobile log... then I checked that as my virtual device is printing in a label the name of program and channel(from tv provider Directv cable box) with a special character whenever its not recognized as my language is Spanish... for example the word "Película" as show in picture

     

    Please login or register to see this attachment.

     

    whenever a program has a special character all iOS devices that has permission to use that virtual device goes to trying to reconnect as soon as you open the app... if you change cable box channel and doesn't have that or any special character then the iOS apps connects normally... 

     

    I told support this... the answer was to erase that special character and I can't do that as it comes directly from cable box... what I did was to erase the code that takes the program name so I don't have that problem anymore...

     

    regards
