Hi,
Here are some steps to resolve the IoT Box timeout issue in POS:
Check Network Connectivity
Ensure the IoT Box and the POS terminal are on the same network.
If the IoT Box is remote, check firewall settings, ports (usually 8069 or IoT-specific ports) are open and reachable.
Verify IoT Service Status
See if the IoT Box service is running correctly. In logs (on the IoT device or server), check for errors.
If using Virtual IoT, ensure it’s installed & enabled in Odoo settings.
Correct Address / URL
Make sure Odoo is pointing to the correct IoT Box IP/URL. No typos or wrong hostnames.
Sometimes “localhost” doesn’t work well if addressing across machines; use LAN IP if needed.
Restart the IoT Box / Devices
A simple restart can fix stuck services.
If it’s a physical IoT Box, reboot it; if virtual, restart the service.
Check Version Compatibility
Ensure that the IoT software version matches or is compatible with your Odoo version. Mismatches can cause communication breakdowns.
Hope it helps
