It’s impossible to have it connected but without an ip :-/ . You can’t click on it and see the device details ?

@LionHeart2017 - might seem like a silly question but have you tried restarting the router?

That will break all device association , and unless the devices are configured correctly to retry network upon failure , they will lose connection . I have seen pi requiring reboots after hostname changed

Yeah just tried rebooting router but it's still only showing mac address, I'm useless with networking stuff and find this part the hardest

Maybe the reboot did fix it, I'm now able to connect via vnc and browser, thanks for the help, I'm blaming my router on this as it's pretty crap

This is a very common problem. One of the trick I do is to deploy a system timer job (like cron , but based on its modern equivalent systemd timer unit) to restart network everynight. This is not managed by reef-pi and configured at system level. In worst case when network issues happen, it resolves after the immediate night.
This is crude, and I think we need a better answer for this issue.

Just to clarify, my build is Home Assistant not Google Home. Home Assistant can integrate with Google Home, Alexa, etc. but it's an entirely separate system.

@Ranjib how are we supposed to get the telemetry into adafruit.io? It keeps asking me for a prefix, but I have no idea what that is? I know someone made a reference to the telemetry tab earlier today, but I can't find it.

Lets troubleshoot it. I'll respond in your build thread.

Regarding my previous post, I would find great value in a 16×2 or 16x4 screen always on display, displaying temp, ip address, ph,etc

I can help with the network side of things, for the most part if your on the same network space the router shouldnt be doing much since its all arp traffic unless your talking v6 and pretty sure your not talking v6. If you have issues again, let me know via PM etc and I can help sort it.
Regarding network based stuff I've done it for so long I can do it almost in my sleep, so really guys if there is anything you would like help on network wise just ask. I can tell you how I set things up but network stuff is like linux stuff (why I love linux) there is a bazillion ways of doing things, no one way. My home network is pretty stable for all the junk I have on it so if anyone has questions and if you dont want to clog up the forums just PM me.
