Sonoff Basic ( tasmota ) New ip address after reboot

Configuration
1

Hi Guys
How can I solve the problem with my Sonoff devices getting a different IP address after I have a power outage? I don’t really want to assign a fixed IP address to each Sonoff basic ?

Thanks, guys

You are likely currently letting your DHCP Server (‘Router’) assign IPs. This is why they can get a different IP sometimes.

You will either need to assign and IP on the device itself or setup a DHCP reservation in your router. The former can cause issues when another device takes the IP you assigned because it was assigned by your DHCP server.

edit: I thought tasmota had an IP option but it looks like it doesn’t. DHCP reservation is the only option, and really the best option in this case.

I recommend setting up a DHCP reservation in your router. This is the best approach IMO.
