I am facing an issue with Broadlink integration for a RM4. I can make it work eventually but then, after any power outlage or router restart, device becomes unavailable in HA.
I can confirm my Broadklink has a fixed IP since router is always asigning same address: 192.168.1.50 however when, it stops working, I check /config/.storage/core.config_entries I can see HomeAssistant changed IP to 192.168.0.180. Then I modify this file, going back to 192.168.1.50, restart HA and all works great again till next router/power event.
I have tried different solutions like connecting Broadlink to different AP, change IP, even change DHCP server provider (AP Router instead of main router), etc.
Do you have anything in mind that could help? It’s so strange to me that core_config.entries file changes this confi by its own…
I occasionally have problems with my Broadlinks after a power outage - when router and RM4 and HA have all been down. My feeling is that they are caused by all three devices powering up at the same time. Once router and HA are up and running, simply unplugging the Broadlink and plugging it in again seems to resolve most issues.
Discovery in the Broadlink integration is supposed to be by MAC address - it shouldn’t be necessary to worry about the IP address after the initial setup.
