Recently had to physically move my Hubitat Hub which caused a change in the Hub Ip address. Now my Konnected panels are not interacting with the Hubitat systesm. I suspect the IP address of the Hub needs to be updated. How do I accomplish that? Both boards are showing up in WIFI with proper addresses.
I solved this issue by simply moving the Hubitat hub back to the physical location where it was before the issue started. That restored the original IP address for the hub and the Konnedted panels started working again. I would still like to know how to change the hub address in the panels for future reference.
ONE MORE FOLLOW UP: Today I upgraded my Hubitat Hub to the newest version. Even though I physically plugged the new Hub into the old location my Google Home Mesh system gave it a new IP address and I once again lost my connection to my Konnected boards. With some trial and error I was able to figure out how to do a DHCP Reservation using the old IP address and eventually got it all working again. It is clear to me however that the Konnected software keeps track of the Hub IP address even though the WIFI connection remained. So my original inquiry is still with regard to whether or not that IP address can be updated in Konnected data? I’m surprised this does not appear to have been an issue for other Hubitat users. I will shut up about it now…
Having the same issue after needing to replace my Hubitat C-5.
If you drill into the Konnected App it shows the Alarm Panel devices. Expanding the devices looks to display config data that is stored locally on the device. There is an IP address field with my old hub’s IP, but no way to change the value.
I’m also experiencing the issue of the WiFi connection on the primary Alarm Panel device dropping and rejoining every few minutes.
If a device reset doesn’t fix the WiFi issue I’m forced to upgrade to the Alarm Panel Pro and use the Ethernet connection.
I’ve had the Alarm Panels and Hubitat for about 5 years and they are both breaking at the same time.
Has this issue ever been fixed? I have the same issue and it seems nuts that there’s no way to update the IP address. Changing all the other device IP addresses is glossing over a pretty basic configuration gap.
The way to do this depends on which firmware platform you’re using on your Konnected Alarm Panel device(s).
On our original firmware platform (NodeMCU aka “legacy”) platform where the zones are configured within the Hubitat app UI, all you need to do is re-run the zone configuration and hit Done/Save at the end. This will send an updated configuration payload to the Konnected device and update the IP address of the Hubitat hub on the Konnected device.
On our newer ESPHome platform, the IP address of the Hubitat hub doesn’t actually matter. In this new architecture, the Hubitat hub initiates the connection to the Konnected device. So, if Hubitat’s IP address changes, it doesn’t matter, but if the Konnected device IP address changes, then all you need to do is simply update the IP address of the Konnected device in the Device > Preferences tab for each device.
