Hi there,
I would like to connect my GMC-500+ to WiFi and then be able to view the readings over WiFi. However, I'd prefer to not use the World Map. Is there a way of hosting privately?
Thank you! |

It is possible with a bit of a hack.
The upcoming version of GeigerLog will offer a way to establish a redirection of the 500+ counter data into GeigerLog. Problem is that the 500+ has a flaw and a bug, and you need a work-around. But you better do this only locally, as it introduces a security risk!
Here an excerpt from the manual of next GeigerLog 1.3:
Redirection for GMC counters
Deficiency – Port Number Problem: The firmware of a GMC counter forces the use of port=80. However, port numbers 0 … 1024 are reserved for users with Admin rights, and for security reasons it would be a bad idea to run GeigerLog as Admin, solely to open such a server port! Perhaps even in conflict with an active regular web server, which almost always also listens at port=80.
Bug – “Unsafe” Operation Problem: The GMC counter’s firmware form the URL in such a way, that modern servers reject their contact as a security issue. One can overcome this by explicitly putting an “Unsafe” into their configuration file 1). But which Web server Admin would convert their server intentionally into a security risk?
1) h**p://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/de/mod/core.html see HttpProtocolOptions
Then on the now unsafe server you can run PHP to handle the data as you like.

Hi Flyjar, you can also do it by changing the parameters from the device website and URL.
The device sends it as:
GET /'URL'?AID='USER_ID'&GID='Geiger_Counter_ID'&CPM='CPM'&ACPM='ACPM'&uSv='uSv' HTTP/1.1
Host: 'WEBSITE'
Connection: close
Accept: */*

@EmfDev: I am afraid this won't work. Read my comment above carefully.
You have a bug in the firmware, which requires a workaround.
