My local site won't work

Configuration
1

So very randomly, my local site won’t load. I have on clue where to even start.

so this:
http://homeassistant.local:8123/
will no longer load. I’ve never had a problem in the 2ish years I’ve been using this.

But what’s weird is that my remote nabu.casa page works just fine.

Any ideas on even where to start?

If you can still reach it via Nabu Casa when remote and by using http://<ip_address>:8123 when local then the issue is with mdns in your router.

Thank you for the response.

Using the http:// xx.x.x.xx:8123 doesn’t work either

5

Are you using a static or reserved IP?

If not this may have changed.

6

Not through my ISP, if that’s what you are referring to.

I do however have my IP address of my home assistant reserved in my router (as with most things)

7

Can you ping the IP address on your network?

8

In Command Prompt, it could not ping.

But the NUC appears to be on and running, and in my router admin area, it says it’s connected via a wired connection and shows a MAC address.

You need to be able to ping the server on your network to be able to communicate with it.

In Home Assistant go to Settings → System → Network and make sure IPv6 is disabled for your adaptor. Check the IPv4 settings while you are there.

Otherwise it is an issue with your router.

You could try rebooting the host machine if the port hardware is in a weird state. Developer Tools → YAML → Restart → Advanced → Reboot.

Not 100% what you mean, unless you are just reiterating what I did. I went to cmd and typed ping 10.0.0.91 and it couldn’t ping.

I disabled IPv6. IPv4 is “Automatic”.

I’ve rebooted the host machine with the Dev Settings you mentioned. I’m restarting my router now.

I feel really stupid, but a router restart ended up fixing it. That was weird that I was only having issues with the one connection but it seems to be working. Thanks for your time.

Also FYI I just discovered this which may be useful for future local IP issues:

So is it working now, or not?

Yeah, turning off IPv6 and restarting my router seemed to allow a ping to the HA server. I have no clue what triggered it all, but after a thousand reboots of everything electronic, I seem to be online now.

Good to hear it’s working! :slight_smile: Don’t bother with “why”, just enjoy it’s running now! :slight_smile: And if it won’t work again, we’re here to help. :slight_smile:

Good morning everyone.

I am having the same issues here. Restarting the router does in fact fix the issue, however, this is happening frequently, sometimes multiple times a day. I have disabled IPv6, Home assistant is on a static IP Address, and both are on a UPS so I do not think its a power issue.

I have a similar issue with ESPHome devices becoming unavailable in Home Assistant even though I can still access them through ESPHome / their IP Address. Just like with local access to Home Assistant, restarting the router generally gets them to talk nicely with Home Assistant again.

I am wondering after reading through this if I maybe just have a router issue and its time to replace it? I wanted to get some additional insight / opinions before I go spend money though.

Thoughts?
