Installing CLI error

Hello Forum,

I’m trying to install this homey app GitHub - hteibler/eaton_docker

I followed all the steps according to this topic [HOW TO] CLI install method

In the last step when I can install the app I get the following error:
C:\Users\milan\Downloads\eaton_docker-main>homey app install
× Error: Homey Pro van Milan (64abf52e10986921dd68992f) seems offline.
at C:\Users\milan\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homey\lib\AthomApi.js:224:17
at async AthomApi.getActiveHomey (C:\Users\milan\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homey\lib\AthomApi.js:212:24)
at async exports.handler (C:\Users\milan\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\homey\bin\cmds\app\install.js:23:19)

I ensured my homey pro is running and I’m using the command prompt as administrator. Can someone help?

Kind regards,

Milan.

Temporary turn off any firewall / adblocker / pihole etc.
Try homey select to see if it is selectable.
Try homey app run --remote

Thanks for your comment. As you said, I first disabled all types of computer security. Unfortunately I keep getting the following error:

Good to know that the homey is correctly selected as shown below.

C:\Users\milan\Downloads\eaton_docker-main>homey select
? Choose an active Homey: Homey Pro van Milan
You have selected Homey Pro van Milan as your active Homey.

If you have another solution, I’d love to hear it!

Because the Homey was in the cloud environment, it was seen as offline because it was attempted to be accessed via the network. Setting up the Homey within the local network eventually turned out to be the solution. Unfortunately, I still can’t install the app because according to the error, no valid Homey app can be found. I will forward this to the developer. Thanks for your help!

this is not indented as a plugin for any system
instead as a middleware running on docker

Huh?
