Custom images on PC dashboard tiles show, do not show on HE Phone APP tiles?

About 6 months ago I got great help from sburke781, thebearmay, bobbyD, and several others on how to do custom images on tiles. I got tied up with family stuff for 6 months and finally now trying to do HE android APP. That help really got me going and was able to do what I wanted relative to custom images per device tile using CSS.

Dashboard and Phone both can turn on and off the devices, but the Phone APP does not show the images. Images are hosted on the HE using file manager. Since Dashboard and Phone are on the same sub net, shouldn't the Phone APP see the images on the tiles? Once this is working would like to see what happens off sight.

Below is some of my CSS code that has my PC Dashboard tiles looking like I want.

Also, below is a photo of how my device tiles look when active and not active that I would like on my HE phone's APP.

Again, need help.
My problem is the PC dashboard tiles coded with CSS do not show up when using the HE Phone APP. From what I read could be where the image files are hosted, but am thinking when on the same sub net should see them?

Simplest thing to test first would be to copy the url for the image and try opening that in a browser on your phone. That will tell you whether you should be able to see the images (I think).

Also, when accessing the dashboard in the mobile app, make sure you are using the local links to the dashboard, i.e. make sure there is a house icon in the top right of the dashboard list, not a cloud icon.

I expect when you are off-site you will need to use a VPN, otherwise you will need to source an alternative location to store the images that is accessible from outside of your network.

Yiks, should have thought of that of that myself hi hi
Yes, see my local URL on phone browser and the House icon on in the top right of the dashboard in the phone app ? darn

Bit me! it is working today?
Thanks, have a lot of formatting to do now hi hi
I wonder if I was clicking on Devices instead of the dashboard on the phone APP?
OH, Congratulations! saw your CSS editor today too!

As far as using a VPN do you have thoughts on why port forwarding doesn't work?

Not really my area of expertise I'm afraid.... Sorry. I don't use my VPN that much and it isn't working at the moment. I have setup WireGuard on a rpi and dynamic DNS using no-ip from memory. I need to look at it again to try and get it working.
