Entities in HA show as unavailable after changing IP address

ESPHome
1

Hi,

I guess it’s not unreasonable for the entities to show as unavailable, as I’ve stopped HA from communicating with them, but how do I clean this up and get my entities back again?

I don’t have new entities for the updated config with the new IP address, and I don’t seem to be able to delete the old entities as it won’t let me.

Is there a recommended route for changing ESPHome device IP addresses and how to handle the HA integration?

Go to Configuration/Integrations, click on your esp device. Using the three dots icon in the lower right select Reload.

Unfortunately still the same after doing a Reload. Do I need to restart anything else?

Then just delete this esphome node from the ha integration and add it again, should work than like new :raised_hands:

Can’t believe I didn’t think of that!! Thank you, that sorted it.

I’ve just added a mesh router and changed the IP in Supervisor/System - now none of my devices are available… What’s going on?
Even zigbee2mqtt is not loading…
How do I fix that?
