HS set to run as service - HA can't access Firewall open - ping good

[Tipalo]

Greetings,
While I am not suggesting this is an issue with your integration I need some ideas as to what I might be able to do to fix this.

After setting HS to run as a service, this integration can't access port 11000.

HA is set to allow ASCII and JSON
Pinging HS from HA terminal is good using ping 192.168.1.133:11000

Runs fine when HS is not set as a service. It also works with HS running as a service using NSSM.

HS running on Win10 Pro w latest updates
HAOS running on Pi w latest updates

Thanks

Hi, I don't know if it helps, but I also had issues with port 11000 due to firewall (Windows Defender) settings.
In my case I just couldn't set HS to work properly (there was error during configuration when Defender was ON).

What I did is that I checked firewall rules and added a port 11000 to the inbound connection for HS4 and HS Service (there were already available rules for these two, but set for port 80 only).
After that I can control my HS devices again.

The issue which I still have is that they don't report their status properly (regardless if Windows Defender is ON or OFF).
