For that you will have to make sure that you can reach your profilux from the internet.
There are a couple options to do it. The simple way : just forward a port on your router to the profilux webserver. but in this way your profilux is 'on the net'
a cookbook:
- you have 3 ip in the picture => ip of your router on the internetside ,ip of your router on the homenetwork side , ip of your profilux (make it fixed).
first you need to get the profilux connection going internally in your network, if that works you need to make sure that your router forwards any traffic on the internetside port X on your router , to the homenetwork side => to the ip of your profilux on port Y. Now to find back your ip of your router on the internetside
you need to use a service that maps an url to the internet ip of our router (if it changes it will auto update )
Here you can find it but you will have to 'filter' a bit

or you can do it the hard way (vpn to your network and then access profilux)
more secure but you a bit more of an it background (vpn, virtual private network so you set up a direct connection to your home network, and then you can do whatever you want )
helo
i am ussing controller connected wirelessly now internall in home network
so now login my router to forward port? what port? 80? and add ip address ,,will try that for now,,will be back thanks
If i have port range forwarding in my router 10001, should change port 80 in my profilux control under webserver to 10001?
Sorry, if i ask stupid question
change of 80 for webserverport makes no sense, port 10001 is for access with ProfiLuxControl, 80 for access with browser
-> leave it as it is
I will post a doc (tommorow ) with some screen shots with my router setup
then you can try to apply it to yours
matthias,
i just find out that my internet company cable Vision blocks port 80.
How can i go around it?
