I’ve been using Home Assistant now for about 2 years with no problems. Last week my broadband went down and it took a week to get fixed. It was a problem with the cable exterior to the house. Nothing inside has changed. For the first few days of outage, although I couldn’t see my solar panels, some things, such as turning on lights at sunset etc., did continue to work, but after a couple of days these also stopped working.
Now my broadband is up and running again i expected it all to restart, but it hasn’t. I can see, through my router settings, that homeassistant is on a wired connection to my router & I can see it’s IP address. I’ve tried rebooting everything many times, I’ve tried connecting using the IP address. But no joy.
I’m using a Mac & iPhone. Both have the same issue.
Has anybody any ideas? Thanks
Were you maybe using DHCP for the IP address of your HA host? If so you may have been allocated a new address.
Can you connect a display to the console and see what address has been allocated?
Looking at your routers DHCP table may also help, or use a LAN scanner program to look at allocated devices.
Can you connect via http://homeassistant.local:8123?
or if a PC is available, does using CMD with ping homeassistant.local -4
give you a reply?
FING is a decent iOS app for scanning the network to find devices.
I can’t connect via http://homeassistant.local:8123 but I can ping (on a mac it’s Terminal) and get:
PING homeassistant.local (192.168.1.127): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.127: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=2.175 ms
I’ve also tried connecting via this IP address - still no joy. Thanks for your help; any more ideas
