I just followed this guide to setup a new Home Assistant VM in Proxmox:
It mostly went smoothly - I can access HA with the correct IP from my computer, and I can access the Proxmox web interface. Both have a DHCP lease with the correct MAC/IP in my router.
The issue that I’m having is that HA can’t seem to connect to other devices on my local network. Zigbee and Zwave work great and so do cloud devices, but I can connect to local network devices (e.g. Shelly):
I cannot ping any of the devices from HA or Proxmox even though they are on the same local network.
Hi Eric, you might want to give your Proxmox and HA a fixed IP to prevent issues in the future.
Can you ping the other devices on your LAN from Proxmox/HA?
I guess they are both on the same subnet, what about the firewall in Promox?
I haven’t watched that video, so I don’t know how he has setup Proxmox and HA but you might also have a look at Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts & Other News
Ensure you are not using local as your LAN domain name. Check the following:
Ensure the DHCP server does not have local as the domain name. Use internal instead as this is the least likely to be used as a TLD by ICANN (there is a proposal submitted already following a decade of consultation).
If you are using a local DNS server like Pi-hole with DHCP active, check local is not defined as the domain name.
Ensure you are pointing to the correct DNS server from your client desktop/laptop PC (ipconfig /all if you are on windows). Any changes you make on the network, especially DHCP related either refresh the DHCP lease or just reboot your PC.
In Proxmox ensure the node does not reference a local domain.
In summary, ensure ‘local’ IS NOT USED anywhere as a TLD name.
