Hi, clearly from my title I have a lot going on. But as the title says, randomly, about once per day, my HomeAssistant will disconnect, even though it’s currently on a wired connection, and it is no longer possible to connect to it via the web interface. I can ping it at the default address and my preferred IP scanner can see it and list it correctly. I just can’t connect to it, not is it able to reach any of my devices. I’m running HA OS.
So I decided maybe I should try switching from a wired to a wireless connection to see if this helped. So |I went to the settings GUI and tried to join one of my two WiFIs. But no joy. I am simply confronted with a message saying ‘interface could not be joined’ check settings’. (Or words very much to that effect.) On checking the HA configuration I have noticed that both IPV4 and IPV6 is completely turned off on the wlan0 interface (which is the interface I want to connect to). So I assume this might be the source of the problem?
I read somewhere that you could fix this issue using an iPhone to set up the wireless connection. So I borrowed a friend’s iPhone to try. But still no luck.
However this did produce another error, which was:
object does not exist at path /org/freedesktop/networkmanager/activeconnection/523 home
So perhaps that’s a clue what’s going on? In any case I looked up NetworkManager and the page there for HA told me that if I had any problems I should either reload network manager, or update it and the proceeded to helpfully not tell me how to do either of these things…
Can anyone please assist?
I couldn’t find any way here to attach my logs and screenshots, so I used a simple online host.
