I noticed after installing the latest bOS Server, that any port and any protocol is enabled in the Windows firewall, creating a serious safety breach into the system. Especially if the server is connected to the internet or the home network is full of iot devices that are easily compromised. This is a serious security issue. Also looking at the amount of hack or intrusion attempts that happen every day on bOS, as parts of it are connected to the internet. A compromised bOS server gives the attacker full access to the rest of the network with these firewall settings. And it is a real risk if you consider the poor TLS protocols that where still in use before bOS 4.9.0.

I also noticed that multiple Firewall entries are created and probably not cleaned after upgrading to a newer version of bOS.

What are the minimum ports/protocols needed by bOS to function properly?

Hello.
In last update to 4.8.5 after linux update I notice that weather is not showing any values. I try reboot and readd weather but with no result.

Hello, 

I had to do a "server repair" on Grinder. 

Ended up with a dead black box : couldn't connect either to bOS, nor to Windows (remotely). 

I had to find a screen and a keyboard, to hook them up to the Grinder, and then I understood the issue : Windows was requesting the password to be changed, and it just blocked everything.

So, issue fixed. But I though it was important to write a post about it : 

- so that if you face the same problem you can easily fix it

- so that the ComfortClick people can make the black box a real black box you never have to worry about, as this was sold to me when I bought reluctantly a Windows box...

Hello! I'm trying to use the RPC Server in my Jigsaw device, but I can't find the way. I try to log into the linux configuracion of Jigsaw, but have no user and password. How can I activate the RPC Server? Thank you!!

Have the following values in BOSService.exe.config that have worked before upgrade to 4.4.0.

After upgrade port is not started.

    <add key="RPCServiceUri" value="http://localhost:81/" />
    <add key="EnableRPC" value="True" />

Hello, my server's date and time get incorrect after every power outage. I have tried using time.windows.com, but it seems ineffective. Is there any way to automatically update the current date and time?

Hello,

This night there was a power cut and entire current of the house was gone for a couple of seconds. Now I am unable to establish a connection to the jigsaw, do can't even find it using an ip scanner.

I've already tried to perform a network reset and factory reset, still unable to find the jigsaw using the bOS Configurator. What can I do next? Or does this mean my jigsaw is broken?

Kind regards,

Luc

Hi!

We have installed Bos server Sledgehammer, and would like to add monitoring of device using Zabbix system, has anyone done that so far? Is that possible to install Zabbix agent on the device? Or add some monitoring scripts on the device?

Hi,

I've devices in my network using the local IP that should get automatic login, so that in the case of a device restart, just opening the browser will show the CFC interface.

I saw some other reports that suggested *YEARS* ago an URL with Demo?user= but it's no longer working.

Is there a supported way to do so?

Hello,

I am currently unable to reboot my Colibri Z-Wave servers. The only way to fix this is to power cycle them. Do you have any solutions for this problem?
