This will ensure that any other devices or systems within your setup always know how to connect to Home Assistant within your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process will require some basic technical understanding &#8211; in particular knowledge of how to access your routers settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically speaking setting a static IP might not be required as the subsequent step to configure your router (bottom of instructions) could supersede this. However, some routers may only allow to to make static the current IP. So if you want this to be a specific IP its worth changing this directly within Home Assistant first.<br>Open Up your Home Assistant console. Click Supervisor from the left, select system from the top right. Find the IP address and click change<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d05a642267\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d05a642267\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/assign-a-static-ip-to-home-assistant\/#Open_Up_Settings_within_Home_Assistant\" title=\"Open Up Settings within Home Assistant\">Open Up Settings within Home Assistant<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/assign-a-static-ip-to-home-assistant\/#Configure_Home_Assistant_Network_Settings\" title=\"Configure Home Assistant Network Settings\">Configure Home Assistant Network Settings<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/assign-a-static-ip-to-home-assistant\/#Reboot_Home_Assistant_not_restart\" title=\"Reboot Home Assistant (not restart)\">Reboot Home Assistant (not restart)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/rapidlydigital.com\/assign-a-static-ip-to-home-assistant\/#Reserve_the_IP_address_in_your_Router\" title=\"Reserve the IP address in your Router\">Reserve the IP address in your Router<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_Up_Settings_within_Home_Assistant\"><\/span>Open Up Settings within Home Assistant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your Home Assistant instance and Open Settings &gt;

In this example I have used 192.168.0.199\/24. You can change any address within your routers range (and is not in use). <br>I would advise going above 192.168.0.100 as those addresses are less likely to have been already automatically assigned by your router. <br>Also the format of your range might be slightly different to mine. Yours might be 192.168.1.199\/24 for example. Please check this before assigning an address. Open a command prompt and type &#8216;ipconfig \/all&#8217; on your laptop\/PC.<br>Final note. Often when assigning static IP&#8217;s you do not include \/24 at the end. This is a requirement of home assistant and for most users \/24 will work just fine.<br>Arrow 3 = The address of your router. Most likely 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Again, check this using the command prompt.<br>Arrow 4 = DNS servers. this again will be the IP address of your router unless you are using an alternate DNS method (if you are you probably don&#8217;t need this guide).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reboot_Home_Assistant_not_restart\"><\/span>Reboot Home Assistant (not restart)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select Settings &gt; System<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?resize=1536%2C1022&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-assistant-settings-hardware.jpg?w=1850&amp;ssl=1 1850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now go to the Top right and press the power circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expand Advanced options and select Reboot System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?resize=1024%2C547&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?resize=1024%2C547&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?resize=300%2C160&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?resize=768%2C411&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?resize=1536%2C821&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-assistant-reboot-system.jpg?w=1650&amp;ssl=1 1650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will reboot your home assistant with the desired IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reserve_the_IP_address_in_your_Router\"><\/span>Reserve the IP address in your Router<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the brand of your router the interface will look and feel slightly different to one another.
