Joystick control doesn't work in version 1.2

Hello,

I tried the last two daily builds 1.2 (up to 10.10.2020) and of course the final release too. I can't make the Joystick to move the mower at all.

all the REST calls to url:
json?cmd=Joystick&t=xxxx&x=0&y=100
are giving
{"successful": true}
so it's not a connection issue.

The function was working fine on version 1.0 but I'm affraid of downgrading because of loosing the configuration as I don't have an easy access to the mower.

- Please try to put the mower into "Auto" mode before?
- Do you have more than one browser windows open?
- Did you try to restart Robonect? (Service > Robonect > Restart)
- What did you get, when you're calling http://x.x.x.x/json?cmd=report (when the Joystick is visible in another window)

- Auto mode doesn't help - the mower is just standing
- only one browser tab
- I restarted many times, even changed the firmware, what I didn't try is factory defaults (I can't afford loosing Wifi for now)
- result of json?cmd=report:

A little update to that topic...

The Joystick works correctly but only if controlling device is running in the same WiFi. It doesn't work whenever I try to use VPN or port forwarding. This would be really handy for example to remotely get the mower OUT of trouble (bushes, OUT of loop, etc...)

Is there any safety measure (in firmware) that prevents from using Joystick from a distance?
The property is fenced and I have a preview via IP cameras so the safety wouldn't be an issue.

Please ask yourself the questions admin told before.

Then think over this:

VPN has to work at last. Do you get access to Robonects Webinterface by IP address?)
Try to use the remote control feature build in (link to the documentation: Fernzugriff.)
If this doesn’t fail, too, You’ve got another problem (Robonect not correctly in your home wifi network)

Thank you for the answers. I have re-checked the whole configuration and I think that I have eliminated all the issues with port forwarding and I'm able to control the mower remotely.

But not in the case when I need it the most - when the mower is in "Lost loop" error mode. I'll try to check other error codes over the weekend.
