Thanks for all the work to start with.

About WiFi extenders, and / or SGS9+ phones
I found out:

  • I reserved an IP address for my phone, using its MAC address
    • I checked my phone’s IP address, but it didn’t have the reserved IP…
      • So what da heck. I discovered Samsung uses a random MAC as default for WiFi connections. Change it manually to Phone’s MAC. Now my phone gets the fixed IP.

So, while testing it, (it did by itself - my battery went dead, so “I was away” and all the lights in my house went off ;-0 :wink: )

After my phone was ok again, my Homey status didn’t change to AtHome mode.
Checking my phone’s IP, it had a random IP.
The WiFi was first connected to one of my extenders. Bad luck in this case.
I discovered when my phone connects to an extender, it receives a random IP instead of the fixed one.
I think it is bc my DHCP server on my router is using the extender’s MAC instead of my phone MAC… While my extenders use my router as DHCP server.

So, I decided to NOT automatically connect to my extenders, now the wifi connects with my fixed IP.
BUT, I like to connect autom. to all my wifi points.
Is there anyone who can give me a slight pointer? What am I missing here?

TIA, Peter
