| Bosch B426-M Ethernet module | Not working | Still not connecting to panel on v0.8.4-beta.2Saved copy… listenning on port 7700 then. Is it still active on your panel ? Hi Eric, I didn't manage to get it working again. I unplugged the serial cable and the ethernet cable on the module for 10mins the reconnected it and one the blue light showed up on the Module I then plugged in the ethernet cable and it recognised it straight away. Every other time I was resetting the IP Module I was plugging in the ethernet cable BEFORE the blue light had come up. Thank you so much for your help and patience with me. I appreciate this application you have created and it is my most used on in apple home. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #41 · 2026-03 |
