Find devices by ip address

1

I have things on my router that I know are homeassistant devices but want to change their name to correspond to HA name how do I figure out what is what can I locate them in HA by ip
FYI they are all ESP devices

You can see your ESP device mac address on the device page in HA. You should then be able to match them on your router page.

If your router doesn’t allow this, you can add the ip of the device as a sensor.

text_sensor:
  - platform: wifi_info
    ip_address:
      name: IP Address

Here you find MAC/IP in HA, And on your Router , as mentioned in above post, you should have a similar view

Creating a spreadsheet matching MAC Address with preallocated IP Addresses will make life much easier, especially in your DHCP Configuration section on your router. I strongly recommend all your IOT devices have static IP local addresses. Troubleshooting become far easier also.

What ??? , I believe you are the are the only one who have recommended such an “Idea” , or are you just not familiar with the meaning of the technical terms within network and IOT devices ?
