Echo Show 5 with Unifi Protect [SOLVED]

Monocle

OK, so the test feed is working ok?
If so, then this validates the same SSL certificate chain that your gateway instance is using.

The next test step is for me to setup a demo feed that we will route though your gateway and see what happens.
I’ll probably get this setup tomorrow.

PS, VLC won’t view this stream because its encrypted. Ping may not work as IGMP may be blocked on this server.

Thanks, Robert

@Monocle Yes test feed works well - Much appreciated, was just me being an idiot - look forward to continued testing and perhaps a resolution (fingers crossed) - thanks for the time given to this so far.

OK, the next test will involve running the same demo feed thru your instance of Monocle Gateway. However, I had to fix a couple of minor issues to get it working.

So, first. You will need to replace your “monocle-gateway.exe” file with a newly compiled one from this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m91e8z2wa1s89d7/AACRqcwLvdTFA-5gsBo9ItrKa?dl=0&lst=

(The new version should be “0.0.4-1” instead of “0.0.4”)

Now, we will need to update the demo RTSP URL to use port 554 instead of 443. Port 443 is already encrypted whereas port 554 is the raw unencrypted feed.

rtsp://demo.mproxy.io:554/resort

You will also need to add the @tunnel tag to the camera config as shown below:

@Monocle I get the camera is not responding, text from gateway below:-

@g7pfv

OK, so we have come full circle back to the original issue. The Alexa device is not attempting to connect to your gateway. This could be for any number of reasons but the most common are FIREWALL blocking access to port 443. DNS REBINDING preventing DNS resolution of host address 440e1290-b99b-4e3d-ad59-139d53424742.mproxy.io inside your local network, the Alexa devices and Monocle Gateway on separate networks preventing access to each other (such as a guest network or pretected VLAN) or some other network security appliance/device blocking access. I know you have tested these before, but something is blocking Alexa’s access to the Monocle Gateway.

When you do the ping test/openssl test are you doing that from the same computer where you are running Monocle Gateway or from another computer? Is same, then try from another computer on the network.

Just to verify, is IP address 192.168.98.1 the correct IP for this computer running Monocle Gateway and the IP address that the Alexa device should be able to reach?

I’ll work on setting up a Monocle Gateway instance for us to test with in the cloud.

Thanks, Robert

@Monocle Thanks Robert, I have tried turning off firewall and security software to no avail - yes the ping/ssl are from same computer running the gateway - I did all the DNS rebinding tests with success.

I also run a Unifi security gateway so wonder if its this or something in my network config in the Unifi controller ?

I have no separate VLAN’s or guest networks
