SKIVI Home Config

Error

Config editor could not be loaded

If you are seeing this message, the config editor failed to load. Most probably this is because you are not serving this page from a webserver but instead opened it from a local file. As a consequence, you should see error messages on your browser's console which indicate that some XMLHttpRequests have been blocked by its CORS policy. By default the file:// scheme is not supported by cross origin requests.

You basically have two options:

Serve this page from a (local) webserver: This is the preferred solution.
Disable same origin policy on your browser: See here or here for details.

TL;DR: Start Chrome like this:

Windows: chrome.exe --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="c:/someFolderName"
Linux: google-chrome --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="/tmp/someFolderName"

Status

Current status is unknown.

MQTT

You can deploy your config directly from this editor to a running instance of SKIVI Home. Both need to be connected to the same MQTT broker with support for native MQTT (app) and MQTT over WebSockets (editor). The MQTT settings of the app are made in the mqtt config node while the editor can be configured with the form below.

The internal config of the app connects to a free HiveMQ Cloud cluster which is also this form's default. Please adopt the values in case the app you are targeting uses another broker. If the app disabled MQTT, it obviously cannot receive your config. However, you can temporarily force SKIVI Home to load predefined configs with MQTT support via its developer menu in system settings.
