This guide explains how to access your Jeedom home automation box (which is located behind a dynamic IP address provided by your ISP) using a domain name with Infomaniak via the free DynDNS option (❓: help).

Introduction

• The integration you install acts as a messenger: it continuously monitors the IP address of your local network.
• As soon as it detects that your internet provider has changed your IP, it instantly sends a signal to Infomaniak.
• Infomaniak then updates your domain name (e.g., jee.domain.xyz) so that it points to the new IP address.

Linking Jeedom to a domain name

Prerequisites

• You must have a Jeedom installation (e.g., on a Raspberry Pi 5) connected to the internet with a dynamic IP address.
• A dynamic DNS must have been created for the domain in question via the Infomaniak Manager (❓: help).

Then:

1. Install the official and free plugin on your Jeedom application from the Market (❓: help).
2. Activate the plugin as usual.
3. Configure a new device by selecting Infomaniak from the list of services:
   
   • Hostname: the URL configured in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS (❓: help).
   • Username: the ID defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS (❓: help).
   • Password: the password defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS (❓: help).

Jeedom will check the external IP address every 15 minutes. If it has changed, the DNS will be updated. This way, your domain name will continuously point to your home automation installation, even if your Internet Service Provider changes your public IP address.
