Hub IP address changes #12

Open robwalch opened 11 years ago

robwalch commented 11 years ago

Plugin stopped working after Hub was assigned a new IP address from DHCP. Had to default settings, save then redo auto-config to get the new IP.

I've assigned the Hub's Mac Address a static IP on my network to keep it from happening again, but there might be a lot of other users who run into this issue.

Manually changing the bridge IP in the settings panel and then saving it didn't work?

It works - I changed it, and then set up my router to give the hub a dedicated internal IP address. It took me a minute to figure out what the problem was though.

I think if there is a connection problem the plugin should check https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp to verify the IP address, and update it automatically.
