I am new to and testing Home Assistant (hopefully to replace SmartThings). I installed Home Assistant on a VirtualBox on win 10.
I am now trying to enable remote access, but having some problems:
I can access Home Assistant using http://homeassistant.local:8123/
But I cannot access Home Assistant using my local IP http://192.168.1.6:8123/
(Note that I can access other services, like …:3000/)
same story… nor reachable. But even before involving duckdns and extranl IPs, shouldnt I be able to reach it using my internal IP http(s)://192.168.1.6:8123/…? Can this be linked to the VM?
I tried both http and https… let’s forget duckdns for a moment.
How am i supposed to access home assistant using a local IP within my network? Neither http://192.168.1.6:8123/ and https://192.168.1.6:8123/ seem to work.
I’ve just uninstalled the duckDNS add-on and deleted my duckDNS domain.
The IP is definitely correct, I can access other ports (3000 for example).
I’ve followed the VDI instructions, shouldn’t this be correct?
OK I solved it: I misunderstood what “bridged” meant, i thought the home assistant (VM) would end up with the same IP as the Windows machine hosting it, but I now realize that’s not the case… In short: I was using the wrong IP.
