So, i’ve started using HA as my DHCP server on the IoT network, but I have some problems.
I need to set static leases. In the readme it says how to define the static hosts but there is a separate box for defining the hosts and it doesnt like the syntax shown in the readme.
Is there a way to do this? Also where can I find the DHCP config file in HA?
Thanks
I don’t use this, but I took a look at your question to see if I could help.
On the configuration page of the DHCP AddOn, click on the 3-dots in the upper right and choose to edit in YAML mode. This should allow you to enter the static lease information as shown in the documentation.
Excellent, thank you! This is what I needed.
All is working now!
Have you measured the impact of running DHCP on your host CPU and memory? Any impact to HA performance?
How is the experience so far?
Which hardware are you using?
I’m most likely going to use an older Pi 3 with Pi Hole or AdGuard for DNS and probably using their DHCP also, but I wanna known how is the experience of sharing the hardware with Home Assistant.
Yea no noticeable difference. I only run a small /28 subnet so its not doing anything too heavy.
