I moved home assistant to a wireless access point (lemmy.world)

I moved home assistant to a wireless access point because I live at home and my parents are getting a bit annoyed with me having raspberry pi and an old computer that I use as a server in the living room, so i got a wireless access point from the kitchen in to my room, so I could just have it in here, but now home assistant obviously got a new ip so it doesn't work on my cloudflare url yet, but it's acting kinda strange, I can't access it on my computer, and when I type in the ip i got from the local ip address it integration i can't connect through that, and cloud flares says it's not a valid ipv4 ip address, so idk how to get it back on my url

It's installed on the pi, and its not port forwarding, its just a cloudflare tunnel, and nothing has changed about it, but after I moved to the access point instead of the main router it just ain't working, but by the looks of things weirdly it seems it's only apple products i have been getting to connect via homeassistant.local:8123 I really don't understand any of this, i have tried two browsers on my laptop and it doesn't help

I'm not sure what OS you are using but now is a good time to set a static IP if you haven't already.

I accually don't remember if i have but even if I haven't that doesn't explain the apple only thing, though I have yet to test if it works on android, but it's weird home assistant app finds the ip of the server automatically and everything, but on my computer i can't access it, and i have tried pasting that ip address on cloud flare too but it still isn't working

Try clearing your browser cache on the devices that can't connect.

But then why can't cloudflare connect to it, I tried multiple times, even on my phone as it is working on there, but no luck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, will try that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried that, but it just says that cloudflare can't connect to the server

Can you connect via https://<the rpi's address>:8123?
