I had to change ISP and now have a new router and new IP address for my C7 Hubitat. I have not been able to change the IP in Hubitat and after trying about everything I could find online I also deregistered my hub which I can't seem to re-register. My app on the phone keeps looking for the old IP and I can't access the dashboard.
Can someone help me resolve the IP issue as well as how to re-register.
I've tried a soft reset and reinstall a back up.
tried unplugging Ethernet cable a pile of time.
reset hub by poking the back pin.
reset router a pile of times.
Did you reset the network?? Look under the hub and find the only round hole and use a toothpick or something small that will press the button inside and hold it for a few seconds. This should bring the hub back into the default DHCP setting.
I believe it’s for at least seven seconds, and you’ll know the hub has rebooted by watching the LED on the hub turn off, then back to blue, then green.
De-registering wasn’t a necessary step at all , but since it’s been done, for now focus on accessing the hub again first.
I ended up clearing the DNS in the network setup and then resetting the hub again. This time it finally updated the IP address and everything started working again and I was then also able to re-register my hub.
It seems strange the clearing the DNS seemed to do the trick but I am running again now and phone app is able to go to the dashboard.
Thanks for your replies.
This is one reason I do not ever use a router provided by my ISP. If I own my own router, I set it up the way I want. The IP addresses within my internal LAN will never change. If you use a router provided by your ISP, you are at the mercy of the ISP as to the quality and setup of the router.
I get a message from my ISP every couple of weeks emploring me to rent a combination cable modem and router from them to "improve the quality of my home network". The cable modem and router I purchased independently are among the best you can buy; but that does not stop my ISP from sending useless messages.
Even if you have to use a modem supplied by your ISP, such as a 5G cellular modem, you can still use your own router so you have control.
