Moving devices to new ESP network/instance

ESPHome

Hi

Moving some lights to a new ESP home network, will be a whole new instance, network etc, new IP range

What do i need to do first in order to allow them to show up correctly in the new network, i understand new SSID and PW, but will they show up in the ESPHome dashsboard, do i need to define the IP of the new ESPHome server?

Thanks

usually, I set a manual IP address for my home-assistant instance. Since esphome is on the same IP address, just different port, it all works seamlessly.

Additionally, you should add the fallback access point:

also you can add the wifi credentials for your old and new networks in the event that they have different SSID/PW:

hope that helps!
