Unable to setup an Awair Glow device

I have an Awair Glow device I purchased a few years ago that monitors the air quality in a room. It connects to the network via WiFi and it's worked great until a few months ago. I noticed it was having issues with staying connected to the WiFi access point, so I performed a factory reset to see if maybe that would resolve it. I've done factory resets in the past without any issues. However, I think this was the first time I tried since running Sophos v18 (EAP at the time). It connects to the WiFi network just fine, but when I try to continue the setup process where it communicates with the Awair server, it basically says the connection could not be established. I've tried:

  • Disabling ATP
  • Setting all policies to None and unchecking all scanning (basically a "clean" firewall rule)
  • Connecting to both my primary and guest network
  • Factory reseting the device several times
  • Disabling my ad-blocker (PiHole)

It still does not work. If I pair it to my phone as a hotspot, it works just fine. Anyone else out there with an Awair device on Sophos v18? I'm at a loss with this one.

  • Hi Shred,

    have you setup the modified default firewall block 0 so you can see what is being dropped?

    Required WiFi Specifications

    Glow is only compatible with 2.4GHz B/G/N WiFi networks. Glow can operate on dual band routers (2.4GHz and 5GHz), but we recommend giving each band a separate SSID before connecting to the 2.4GHz network. We also recommend turning off the load balancing feature for dual routers, as this can occasionally move Glow to the 5GHz network. Your firewall must also allow access to TCP ports 8883, 123, and 443.

  • Yeah, it’s on a separate VLAN and I turned on logging for that firewall rule. I don’t see anything being dropped.

  • Hi  

    Is there a way you can check the IP of the Glow device?

    Could you please try to capture packets on the ports used in communication?

  • Hi,

    what I found wasn't the device but the application required access to a lot of unpublished ports which the camera support people only acknowledged after I sent a support request with the limited range I had discovered. The actual range was port UDP 0-65535.

    Also found that the application was trying to talk to countries I had blocked, the web logviewer showed a connection, but the firewall rule logviewer should blocked.
