If you've got Home Assistant automations that are based on the IP address of a device, make sure you give those devices a static IP.

@dbtechyt It's not always DNS. Sometimes it's DHCP.

@woe2you Yep. I've had this happen a few times. I normally set a static IP, but skipped one of my control tablets and things quit working when the DHCP renew happened. So I set the IP on the device AND in my router to be extra double sure.

@dbtechyt Future DB: I've changed the static lease on this device, why won't it stick?

@woe2you I'll eventually add and remove enough devices without clearing the reserved IPs that I'll run out and be super confused then!

@thijs How do you mean? You can link an IP to a MAC address, which seems like what you're saying, but I'm not sure if I follow.
