Sometimes my Fritzbox is not able to hold the the IP adress of a device stable. Then I have to install ssh/samba and so on, Then go to “homeassisant\config.storage\core.config_entries”, search for the old IP (which i mostly have forgotten) and then change it to ne newly assigned one. Every time i do that (eg. for my daikin devices) i do not really know, if i hack the json correctly. And even, i do not want to hack there, because the “.storage” folder is hidden for a reason, not my territory.
Very complicated for a normal use case.
Yes, it would be better to have the ip stable, but that seems not possible sometimes.
