However, if you have paid for Musiccast functionality you may as well make the most of it by integrating management into home automation tools such as Alexa, Google Assistant and (our favourite) Home Assistant options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce any issues while using such tools with your Musiccast equipment, we recommend that you assign each of your devices a static IP before you begin automating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, its a fairly straight forward process.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-howto\" class=\"rank-math-block\" >\n<div class=\"rank-math-howto-description\">\n\n<p>Assigning

to identify which addresses you wish to use. All existing devices on your router will be assigned IP addresses already and you do not want to try to assign an address that may conflict with an existing device. What I do is pick a range that my router is unlikely to assign. Most home broadband routers will assign addresses within the ranges 192.168.0.1 &#8211; 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.1.1 &#8211; 192.168.1.255 and they will start at the lower end of the scale and assign upwards as more devices connect. So for this example Ill pick the range starting at 192.168.0.180 and work up 181, 182 and so on until I have added all my devices\/speakers. <\/p>\n<p>Your devices will already have addresses and technically speaking you do not need to change these. I just find it neater and good practice to assign a specific range that is unlikely to be used by anything else. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"howto-step-1673443719492\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_the_existing_Musiccast_Address\"><\/span>Get the existing Musiccast Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mussiccast-existing-IP.jpg?fit=324%2C655&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mussiccast-existing-IP.jpg?w=324&amp;ssl=1 324w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rapidlydigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mussiccast-existing-IP.jpg?resize=148%2C300&amp;ssl=1 148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><p>Open your Musiccast app and click settings.
