I am pulling my hair trying to add an IOT device to my network. I have the app installed, follow all the instructions but the POS IOT device is just super crappy. Now, after multiple attempts, I am getting some error messages from the connections, esp. one about it’s certificate being invalid. I know rejecting insecure connections is a great iOS security feature, but is there any way to disable it temporarily to possibly get to the next step? I kinda trust it to not hack me, but at this point, I can’t even check for software updates to the thing. That seems to be very much needed right now.
Well, it never worked right, so as far as I can tell, it’s pretty much at “factory” already. Also, I did that once already, so I should have included that info. Good tip, though - it sometimes work.
Katie, it’s a Garo MELN device that starts my car’s engine heater at the right time, depending on the weather. If it’s really cold, it starts a few hours earlier to ensure I’m comfy at the departure time. The app simply lets me set the departure time over wifi. Like most smart devices, pure convenience, but damn, I payed extra for that wifi option, so I’d like to use it
Not sure how much international sales Garo has in this market, but I guess northern US and Canda could use something like this. It’s a Swedish manufacturer.
