I broke Roku Connect

I got a new Roku stick for the bedroom. So after it was discovered I tried to remove the old bedroom Roku, but accidentally removed Roku Connect. So I re-added it but now it won't discover the living room TV that had been discovered before. Is it because it's still cached somewhere and RC thinks it doesn't need to be discovered again? Only the new bedroom Roku shows up in Devices.

Create a reserved entry in your DHCP for the roku, then use that IP in roku connect.

But I didn't need to do that yesterday. It just detected both and also automatically detects IP changes.

I've noticed it doesn't always find ip changes, after it stopped working for me (only controlling one of our roku's) I just did the above and it's been solid ever since

Oh well it finally found it. Took a while. Thanks for trying to assist.

That said, any external devices hubitat needs to talk to, it's best practice to use reserved or static ip address' for them.
