Changing IP address

ESPHome
1

Is there a way to change the static IP address of ESP devices integrated into HA? I can still communicate with the device on the network on their old IP but when I update the yaml through ESPHome, it is trying to connect to the new IP rather than the old one.

Is there another method of doing this OTA, connecting to their previous IP to upload new firmware and reload? I’m aware of USB but it’s a bit of an inconvenience with my setup, so I’m seeing if OTA can be done before I put in the yards.

Thanks.

Ahh literally found the answer moments after posting.

For those interested to know:

the ‘use_address:’ entry under the wifi section will allow you to re-IP a device using a previously connected IP address.
