Recover access after ip address change

Installation
1

Hi. Brand new to HA.
Think I may have committed a cardinal sin
I wanted to set the instance ip address to 192.168.1.5 and set it as static. Which i did ( I can see it in the router) but now cant log on to application via iphone or ipad. I just see a black screen with a red box indicating Domain error -1001

Can still “see” the settings box indicating my internal url but cannot log on via app or directly via browser ip:8123

any ideas as to how to gain access and reconnect the ports with a nuclear reset ?
Thanks

Oops - without a nuclear reset ….

Hi Dave,

Try homeassistant.local
That sometimes works.
Otherwise this might get you there.

Thanks for the reply.
Im not sure how i got back to the companion app, buti was able to restore the original address 192…157 and restarted ha. Remarkably it came up with my chosen address for the static link - but otherwise worked ok.

I thought I understood ip but it looks like I still have a lot to learn (about HA?)
