As the second picture from my router shows, my hubitat is attached to my router (mac address is the same as on the hubitat), and the router has a live internet connection.
Did you recently reboot your router? Do you have a DHCP Reservation configured for your Hubitat Hub in your router? If the LAN IP address changes, the cloud connection can sometimes be impacted. Usually, rebooting the Hubitat Hub resolves this issue. To prevent it, most of us reserve an IP address in our DHCP server for the HE hub.
Indeed, I have reserved 192.168.1.53, and that's what it shows.
I can get in that way, and I have local control. However, all devices that require the cloud are not working (eg myq garage door, etc.)
One point though I'd like to make:
This is a perfect example (s if we needed one) of one of the key benefits of the Hubitat platform - all my automations around lighting are all going to run without any issue! Local execution!
Just spitballing here, but you probably already checked no issues with firewall or DNS?
What DNS are you using Cloudflare, Google, ISP? Is the router dropping DNS requests it can’t resolve internally?
Someone posted yesterday they noticed their hub trying Google DNS constantly. Been noticing that a lot lately will all kinds of devices including Alexa enabled devices.
Also, might want to cover up the WAN IP a bit more, can see enough of the top and bottom of each octet to make it out, and maybe those MAC addresses too.
To me, that could be a giant clue. It's not just Hubitat, correct? You're getting out to be able to post here.. got Alexa or GH? Can you ask them things?
So on the one hand, nothing works, but you can... I think I need to buy one more clue. please.
Last night I had a self induced HE cloud connection issue, I think I lost the connection partially. I pulled the power plug for about 25 minutes and it came back up fine.
A lot of things to check at this point, you could start with some basic network checks like ping, traceroute, nslookup.
@jtmpush18. Do you by chance use Linux, you could do a traceroute to that IP and port.
HE uses port 8883 for their cloud connection from HE to the HE cloud, so...
traceroute -T -p 8883 13.59.2.98 I think that’s right lol
Hello.
Thanks for the traceroute suggestion.
Please excuse my timidity, but I didn't want to ssh/putty into my Hubitat. So, right next to it, I have a RPI (that I use for google relay - thanks @ogiewon ). I did the traceroute from that device.
No Problem.

Hmm.... something must be stopping my HE from getting to the HE cloud....
Edit: Doh! Oops, I really need to avoid responding here on my phone when I am working.
No it isn’t really, it was suggested by others in similar threads and I did the same thing the other day after I was having HE cloud connection issues linking the Alexa skill.
When @bobbyD answered by support ticket, he said I didn’t have a cloud connection. His response to me was: It looks like your hub was no longer connected to the cloud and rebooting forced it to reconnect.
I know my hub was talking out on port 8883 to the HE cloud before this too, I was watching the traffic.
mine was showing similar symptoms this morning no cloud connection and zigbee off notification. The hub was also very slow to get into different hub pages but managed to get to the settings page and selected safe reboot .
Which appears to have fixed the problem.
not home now I had to remote into my home computer to do the reboot.
I am not having Internet connectivity issues on any other device. No problems.
Last night I tried the easy approaches: I shutdown the hub (for at least 30 minutes). I rebooted my router. No change to HE lacking cloud connectivity.
