Hello ZimaOS Community,
I recently completed my ZimaOS setup and am now looking for help with a network status display issue I’m encountering. Although my device is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, both the web interface and the physical server screen are showing incorrect or incomplete network status information.
Problem Summary:
My ZimaOS is successfully connected to my Wi-Fi network and has correctly obtained the static IP address I set: 192.168.1.50. I’ve confirmed this via SSH using nmcli device and ip addr show wlan0 commands. The nmcli device output clearly shows wlan0 as connected.
However, on the physical ZimaOS server screen, I still see the warning “Searching for network address”.
When accessing the web interface (via http://192.168.1.50 in my browser), the situation is even stranger:
- On the “Settings > Network” page, the Wi-Fi (
wlan0) section is not showing as green/active as it should be. - Furthermore, when I try to change the IP address settings in the web UI, even after switching from DHCP to manual and entering
192.168.1.50, these changes don’t seem to be correctly reflected or saved in the interface. - Currently, only “Virtual Network (Remote)” (
ztz4o4q7t4) is actively listed on the “Network” page; the status of my Wi-Fi connection is still not being accurately displayed in the web UI.
Steps I’ve Taken (Troubleshooting Attempts):
- Wi-Fi Connection: I connected to my Wi-Fi network via the ZimaOS interface. (The SSID is visible from my SSH outputs, for example, it might be “MyHomeWiFi”.)
- Static IP Assignment: I assigned the static IP address
192.168.1.50, subnet mask255.255.255.0, and gateway/DNS192.168.1.1via the interface. I also repeated this process via SSH usingnmcli connection modifycommands to ensure the static IP is persistent. - Ethernet Cable: The Ethernet cable has been physically disconnected; the device is exclusively accessing the internet via Wi-Fi.
- System Reboots: I’ve rebooted the system multiple times.
- Service Restarts (via SSH):
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManagersudo systemctl restart zimaos-gateway.servicesudo systemctl restart zimaos.serviceAfter running these commands, I cleared my browser cache and refreshed the interface, but the situation remained unchanged.
- System Update Attempt: Since the
aptcommand was not found, I usedapk updateandapk upgradecommands. The update was successful, and I rebooted the system, but the incorrect display in the interface persists.
My Expectation:
I expect the ZimaOS web interface and the physical server screen to accurately reflect the current network status reported by NetworkManager (showing that Wi-Fi is connected and has acquired the 192.168.1.50 IP address). Is this a known UI bug, or is there a deeper issue related to the system’s network detection?
I would be grateful for any help, guidance, or shared experiences from anyone who might have encountered a similar problem.
Thank you in advance!
Additionally, when checking through the ZimaOS client application, it also fails to recognize the Wi-Fi connection and still believes it’s connected via Ethernet.
