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

    Check your wireless config for anything that would block interclient communications. It’s common on wifi hardware to disallow wireless devices to talk to other devices on the lan. Different brands of kit call it different things. “Wifi isolation” is the most common.

    Also, “you got a wireless access point”. What does that mean? Got it from where? Did you configure it yourself? Is it acting as a DHCP server? If yes, is it behind another DHCP server? Cause that’ll cause you issues like this as well.

      Good point, didn’t even think about that.

        Ok, also if you can give a bit more info it may help. How is it installed, is on the pi or the old computer, are you using a reverse proxy, are you port forwarding anything via the router, etc.

          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
