Gateway on raspberry Pi
-
IP Camera/NVR Make and Model - Unifi CloudKey 2 running Unifi protect on G3 bullet cameras
Alexa Device you are testing with - Echo Show 8
Any steps you have already attempted and results/outcome - installed and reinstalled the gateway softwareI have a unifi set up and wanted to use the echo show 8 to view the streams. I tested the streams as per theinstructions and they are fine but not showing on the Echo. Reading through I assume this is because of DNS rebinding so needs the gateway. I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 to run this on and set it up and attempted to follow the instructions to install the gateway. It seems to have downloaded ok but the Token I downloaded will not copy to the directory file. I have changed the permissions etc but still no success. When I run the command to test it in the terminal i get
pi@raspberrypi:~/monocle-gateway $ monocle-gateway --tail ****************************************************************** * __ __ ___ _ _ ___ ___ _ ___ * * | \/ |/ _ \| \| |/ _ \ / __| | | __| * * | |\/| | (_) | .` | (_) | (__| |__| _| * * |_| |_|\___/|_|\_|\___/ \___|____|___| * * * ****************************************************************** <<TAIL>> LOG FOR THE [MONOCLE-GATEWAY] SERVICE -- Logs begin at Thu 2021-03-18 15:17:02 GMT. -- Mar 18 15:45:05 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Monocle Gateway Service being skipped. -
Please try it again … there was a server side issue that should be resolved now. However, you will need to install the token file or it definitely will fail.
Instructions: https://monoclecam.com/monocle-gateway/install/linux-raspi
On the step where you need to add the monocle.token file, you will probably need to add “sudo” to the command. For example, if I use the
nanotext editor I would start creating the file like this:sudo nano /etc/monocle/monocle.tokenI would then paste the contents of my monocle token into the file and save it.

I have just tried again and got the below. Thanks for the information on the token, I am still not convinced the token has copied across correctly how can i check this?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ monocle-gateway --tail

I am still getting the same message this morning. I think I have managed to resolved the token issue though.
-
I am still getting the same ‘monocle gateway service being skipped’ is this still a server side issue?
