Hi, if i set an static IP it also results in error. Do i have to open ports? 3232?
I had set the adress to static in the router. Nothimg helps… Please give me a hint
Thx Peter

Can you ping the IP?

I honestly believe that the information you provided is not sufficient to get best support here…

Unless you are setting the ip address outside of your dhcp servers range you will probably end up with duplicate ip issues. It is always easier to 7set static address on the dhcp server.

I’m guessing no

You need to explain what you are connecting and how you are setting the static up of the device. You also need to provide whatever error you receiving

How did you set the WiFi on device. We are guessing it’s esp device so how are you setting it up?

Oh, I started a new thread - didn’t see yours.

it is a bit weird. I am having the same issue. I do have a workaround though.

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  min_auth_mode: WPA2
  domain: .<my_domain_name>.<tld>
  on_connect:
    - mqtt.enable:

mqtt:
  broker: !secret mqtt_hostname
  discovery: true
  username: !secret mqtt_username
  password: !secret mqtt_password
  enable_on_boot: false

I have the mqtt disabled on boot by setting enable_on_boot: false and then when wifi connects I am doing the mqtt.enable … It is a bit of a workaround but it does work.

EDIT: Now I am re-reading your post and I’m not sure your error is the same as mine … Sorry if it is not.
