Remote changed IP address

[ryanmsteed]

Hey there Jack and community. Love the integration! Is there a way to manually change the host IP it's looking for? The remote got a new IP for some reason and broke the integration. If I try to add a new device I get the unknown error, perhaps because I haven't deleted the old device? Hoping to avoid that.. Any info would be appreciated!

As it stands, there isn't a way to update the Host/IP of the remote in Home Assistant. However, if you didn't update names/entity ids, deleting and re-adding should be very painless.

Curious, do you recall if you added it manually (supplying an IP) or if you added it via zeroconf discovery?

I'm away on vacation so I won't be able to update things for a week or two, but I'll make this change in a future release

Appreciate the response while on vacation! You are correct - deleting and re-adding worked great. And when I re-added, it looked very familiar so I think I did indeed use the zeroconf discovery last time. Happy to do some testing if you need when you're back from vacation. Thanks again for the help!

An option has been added to the reconfigure flow that allows the user to update the host / ip address of the remote in beta 12 :)

If you are running the remote firmware version 2.2.2 and haven't updated the home assistant integration to beta 14 yet, I have something for you to test for me. No pressure if you don't want to update to either yet though.

Thanks Jack! Will try to check it out this week

Version 14 has been released as well as a couple of follow on point releases that include the ability to reconfigure your remote's address.
