I actually like owls, but not today :( ESP32 don't connect to Teddycloud

dasAndy · January 11, 2025, 2:38pm

Hello everyone

I’ve been desperately trying to connect my Toniebox to the Teddycloud for two days now. Maybe someone here can help!!!?

My setup:
Teccycloud:latest running in Docker on a TrueNas (Ugreen dxp2800).
Standard installation without any special customizations.
Web interface works flawlessly. It can be reached by all network participants under the ip 192.168.2.7 via port 80 and 8443.
Toniebox is ESP32 version

I did everything according to the instructions via Web gui. I can read the certificates without any problems, and flashing with my Teddycloud hostname (192.168.2.7) and the Wifi identifier also works without error messages.

When I restart the box, it boots up and happily announces: “Oh ja, jetzt bin ich bereit für die Tonies, viel Spaß”.
I can see that it is connected to the wifi. I can even ping it.

But it won’t connect to the Teddycloud. I have tried about 20 times… nothing!
When I press the ear, Code Owl (Codewort Eule) keeps coming up. Nothing happens in the log with this action.

I have put the client certificates in the subdirectory f0f5bd599640 and in clients/ without success.
I have also tried deleting the server certificates and recreating them. Also without success.
I went the legacy way, manually injected the certificate and hostname and then flashed the image. Also without success.
I have also read some posts here in the forum and none of them have led me to the result.

I’m running out of ideas what else I can try. Please help me

Here is the log when i start the teddycloud container:

You did a factory reset and the box expects a firmware update, teddyCloud cannot deliver.

You can either try to reflash your patched image again or start over with your untouched image, flash it, set the box up and patch the box again.

dasAndy · January 12, 2025, 10:33am

Hey and thanks for the hint.

How can you tell that a factory reset has taken place? Maybe I did it by mistake, but definitely not on purpose.

I have already repeated this procedure several times.

Original firmware installed
Set up
Connect all the cable stuff
Read flash
patch
write flash to the box
reboot

→ Owl! just tried it out again. Also owl.

How can I tell if the latest firmware is on the box? And if it is not the latest, how do I get the box to install the update? I assumed that it would do this automatically as soon as it has an Internet connection!

dasAndy · January 14, 2025, 11:59pm

I just checked inbound network traffic on the turenas host with tcpdump
There are requests from Toniebox on port 443 after toniebox boot

Next I run the check-tc-certificates script

I think everything is looking good, but still no connection to teddycloud.

0xbadbee · January 15, 2025, 7:27am

What do your teddyCloud logs show if you are doing a freshnessCheck?

dasAndy · January 15, 2025, 10:37am

Simply nothing.

When Toniebox starts up → nothing in the teddycloud logs
When i do the freshnessCheck → nothing in the teddycloud logs

dasAndy · January 15, 2025, 10:42am

Because I was at a loss, I deleted the entire teddycloud container stack and set it up again. I reset and repatch the Toniebox again and voila… it works!

I would still like to thank you for your support

Doppelherz · January 17, 2025, 9:32am

maybe I should do it, too… I get owls when I am trying to change volume with the values from boxine. I think it has something to do because I setup the box again to another household. I tried to modify the already existing og firmware but it had no change. Maybe I revert to og firmware, factory reset the box, connect it to the actual household, fresh teddycloud instance and repeat the custom firmware flash
