Droplet integration failed setup, will retry since April 14, 2026

Configuration
1

Hi, good evening, since yesterday, April 14, 2026, my Droplet integration has stopped working and keeps showing ‘failed setup, will retry’. I go to the Droplet app on my iPhone and looks ‘ok’ anyone else experiencing this?

Any recommendations if there is a fix or is it something that change on Droplet end or something down on their end or am I better off switching to MQTT connection to the Droplet in general. Appreciate the time in advance!

If I go to system - logs - Core warnings- I see this message about Droplet->

Mine was offline for a week, while the app could still see it. I eventually determined that my switch had changed the IP address originally assigned to it. So, I had to delete the Droplet device and re-add it. fortunately the variable names all stayed the same. So it didn’t affect any of my device cards or automations.

thanks for that!!! I will check if IP changed, never thought of that. appreciate it!
