UniBoxSupport
Short answers to the things people hit first. Full documentation is coming.
Getting started
- Open Sources and tap +. Choose Homebox or InvenTree, enter the server address, and sign in with an API key (or a username and password).
- UniBox reads your containers and items. When it is done the source shows Connected.
- Open a container and tap Create physical label. Print or share the label and stick it on the box.
- Scan the label from the Scan tab, or search for an item and tap Find to spot its box.
Supported systems
- Homebox 0.26 or newer.
- InvenTree with a current API.
Troubleshooting
| You see | What to try |
|---|---|
| “Can't reach the server” | Check the address and that your phone can reach it (same Wi-Fi for a home server). Plain http:// addresses on your local network are allowed. UniBox keeps showing saved data meanwhile. |
| “The server rejected those credentials” | The key or password is wrong, or has been deleted on the server. Create a new API key and use Edit connection on the source. |
| “Your sign-in has expired” | Open the source and choose Sign in again. Your labels and saved data stay attached. |
| “That doesn't look like a supported server” | The address may be missing a port, or it is not a Homebox or InvenTree server. |
| The server is “older than the supported” version | Update Homebox to 0.26 or newer. |
| “Camera access is off” | Allow the camera for UniBox in your phone's Settings, or type the label code by hand on the Scan tab. |
| “Unlinked inventory label” | This label is not linked on this phone yet. Tap Link this label and choose its container. |
| “Container no longer exists” | The box was deleted on your server. Link the label to another container, or remove it. |
| An item does not show up in search offline | Only items stored in a container are saved on the phone. Items with no container appear when the server is reachable. |
