Lost control to Hue lights

This weekend I lost all of my Hue lights. HA can’t see my group entities at all and the individual entities are just unavailable. I haven’t made any changes to my lights for months and still have control in Hue and Google Home. The only change I’ve made recently is that I updated to 115 Friday, but still had control of lights for several hours.

I’ve tried rebooting the Hue hub and HA multiple times with no success.

Any errors in the logs?

On mobile, so I’ll try to get the formatting right.

Interesting. I would remove the integration and re-add it. From the error, it looks like it lost authentication for some reason.

Looks like the IP address changed. Went ahead with your suggestion and it’s all good. Thanks!

I kind of figured as much, but I thought 192.168.0.2 would have been a reserved address. But, to that point, make sure to create a DHCP reservation for your Hue hub in your router.

I’d love to, but my router is awful and says it can only have 10 reserved addresses even though I only have like 3. Need a new one for several reasons.
