Yeelight Bulbs Disconnect if WiFi Resets

I have 3 Yeelight multicolor WiFi bulbs (W3 model I think). Most of the time, everything works fine. However, if my WiFi goes out (which sadly happens a lot as we tend to lose power often..), Hubitat is no longer able to communicate with them when the network comes back online. The bulbs still work via the Yeelight app and via Google Home, but not through Hubitat. The only way I have been able to correct this, is to remove and re-pair the bulbs every time this happens...

Curious if anyone else has similar issues or is aware of a way to fix this maybe? If not, I might have to try different bulbs or something, but I do like these for the affordability and feature set..

Thanks for any tips!

I don’t have any of these bulbs, but my guess would be that the IP addresses changes, and the integration is looking for them at their previous address. Is that possible?

Are you able to assign a static IP to those bulbs?

Ahh, that's a good idea, thanks! I'll give that a try and see if it fixes it next time my router reboots. Thanks!
