Reconnect MagicHome

ESPHome
1

i used a magichome controller in my old home to light up my desktop.
now after some time a want to use it again.
but my network has changed i it will connect to 192.168.2.110 but i’m now using 192.168.2.0 range.
i have been able te get it in the esphome addon but can’t change the settings or add it in home assistant using integrations.

when i try to use integrations i get a error that there is no api in the config but i have a back-up file from a older esphome and there is a api in the congif.

when i try to push a now config i get:

The IP address range you mentioned is in the same subnet, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

The face that you say you can see it in ESPHome is a good sign.

What happens when you look on the LOGS from ESPHome?

Also, would be useful to share the YAML that you have.

And your Magic Home controller is connected to the WiFi at that address?
And your gateway is correct? (192.168.2.254)

I see it connected in my network.
But the gateway is not the right one.
Also I see it light green up in esp home.
Yes I see it online at 193.168.2.1

This is the yaml that was uploaded in my home

Hmmm all seems a bit odd.

If you have manually set the gateway in the esp previously but it is now wrong, but it is still showing as online, something doesn’t seem right.

I would suggest pulling it out, and reflashing it with the correct details.

I personally don’t set IP addresses in the ESP and do it on the router instead.
