Hello Rui, once again I need your help in getting my cloudflare system working. After a computer malfunction, I had to rebuild my Node-Red/cloudflare system from the Smarthome course. I have the system working locally but the cloudflare part is evading me. When I open the cloudflare website, it reports that the tunnel is DOWN. As far as I can tell, all the numbers are the same as when I last saw it working. (About a month ago). I checked all the hostnames and they are correct as well. I made sure the hostnames match the names used in the Node-Red flows. As I said , the system works locally. Before I start changing things, I was hoping that you might have some tips that would help me getting the system to report that it was ACTIVE, instead of DOWN. Please let me know if there are any screenshots that would provide more info. Using the tunnel name (CONTROL) I can successfully ping the url control.ckentm.me . Can you point me to some resource that would help me troubleshoot this issue?
As always, thanks for your help
Charles

Sara, Yes, of course. I finally realized that after rebuilding the RPi, the cloudflared was no longer there. When I checked my account on Cloudflare, all of my data was still there such as my hostnames, etc. So I simply established a new tunnel by copy/paste of that long command and string which established a new tunnel that remained the same name. And when I went back to Cloudflare, the tunnel reported HEALTHY again and that was all that it took. I now have four cameras, one of which watches the ESP32 with the four LEDs, which I can control with the switches and make sure the correct one responds. I plan to use a couple of the cameras to keep an eye on my 3D printer.
