Lost Access to Hub Remote or IP

So, I was messing with the Integrated Mode Manager and suddenly, I cannot access the hub anymore either through Remote Access or the leased IP. I tried both a soft reboot and unplug for 1 minute and plugging back in. I'd be able to get back in for 1 to 2 minutes and when I try to get back to the old Mode Manager and undoing everything I did in Integrated Mode Manager, it just starts spinning indefinitely again half way through. My automations are still working, but I can't do anything in the hub page. I thought maybe it was a LAN issue, but I am able to access my router page.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix this?

Could you have setup a static IP on another device as being the same address as the one you setup for the HE hub? Could you try another one...?

I mean it's been the same one for months. It may be coincidence but I didn't have this issue until I started messing with Integrated Mode Manager this morning. In fact, everything was fine and I was fixing rules and stuff before messing with Integrated Mode Manager. It doesn't explain why Remote Access doesn't work either since that's not go through IP though... It also connects very briefly to the IP until it starts spinning forever again.

Quite likely true.... As long as you have not set a static IP on another device in the meantime... Only other thing that springs to mind could be some kind of limitation on Wi-Fi connected devices, which I wonder if I am experiencing, that or some kind of channel interference... But the chances of someone else having the same issue are low...

Other than those, I am at a loss...

Okay. I managed to get it switched over back to Mode Manager App and deleting all the Integrated Mode Manager setup after painfully restarting the hub like 3 times and doing a little at a time until it starts spinning again. And I am no longer having the issue. I think it has to do with Integrated Mode Manager like I suspected. Note to self: Do not fix what isn't broken even if it has a shiny "NEW" button. Hopefully, they don't deprecate Mode Manager App anytime soon.

Glad you got it working.... but that makes no sense as to being the cause... no reflection on you or your efforts.... purely technically it makes not sense, at least to me....

@bobbyD :person_shrugging:

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. But it was odd that I could connect briefly, like maybe 2 minutes at a time max, then it would start spinning indefinitely. I'm also hard-wired directly to the router, so I don't think it's Wi-Fi interference.
