Hey there.
Thanks for your work on this cameras.
Can you give me advice? I can't pair with yi home app. It errors on timeout.
But webinterface and ftp are works
My camera is yi home 1080p
@Orlandus
Is your camera region banned?
If it is not region banned, you just need to disable ProxyChains-ng. To do this, go to System Config on the web interface, click No against ProxyChains-ng and click Apply.
If your camera is region banned, you will need to enter a valid configuration for ProxyChains-ng. The main trick is that you need to find a working SOCKS proxy server that resides in Mainland China.
I deliberately did not provide proxy servers built into the firmware as they tend to change often and potentially if one gets too popular, it will get shut down.
Once ProxyChains-ng is configured with a valid server within Mainland China, the camera will no longer be region banned and will be able to be paired through the smartphone app.
@Orlandus Forgot to mention one more requirement, the proxy server you choose must support HTTPS. Many proxy servers do not.
Pick one from here:
