      @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.
