Hi there.
I use my HA installed with HAOS on a RPI4.
I mainly use wired connection, but lately I needed to connect to a specific device using wifi.
The goal is to control my pellet stove locally, using a custom integration.
I could not set up the secondary wifi connection through the UI, so I used ssh to get the connection up and running.
and it works. So I have my RPI on my home LAN to connect to everything, and the wifi is connected to my pellet stove.
Here is how I did it :
ha network update wlan0 --ipv4-method static --ipv4-address 192.168.120.53 --wifi-ssid MCZ-0142F5201FCE78 --wifi-psk ********** --wifi-auth wpa-psk --wifi-mode adhoc --ipv4-gateway 192.168.120.1
The command works fine and my integration works also, but now and then I loose the connection, and I don’t understand why
