It does not matter how devices are connected to your network (wifi or ethernet) as long as both use the same subnet (like this: `192.168.2.x` or like this: `10.0.1.x` ) When Homey can’t find HW devices, first restart your router, and then your Access points. As explained in the HW app topic: > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Homewizard man\_mage](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-homewizard/19267/1): > > Make sure your wifi devices are getting a reserved ip address in your DHCP scope of your Wifi / Router dhcp. > > TROUBLESHOOT TIPS FOR P1, KWH, WATERMETER AND SOCKETS: > > - Make sure Homey is in the same (wifi network) > - Make sure devices are not on a Guest wifi SSID or AP client isolation is turned on (must be off!) > - Reboot homey (mDNS discovery might be stuck) > - Reboot your wifi accesspoints/routers (unifi / ubiquiti common issues) > - Power cycle your device P1, KWH, watermeter or socket(s) > - Verify “LOCAL API” is on in Homewizard Energy app for the device(s) > - Watermeter does not work when on **battery** only (must be usb powered to enable LOCAL API mode) > - Install mDNS discovery app on your iphone/android and check for \_hwenergy.\_tcp and see you can see your devices there. > - Toggle the LOCAL API in the official HomeWizard Energy app and restart the HW app on Homey to discover again --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/cable-only-or-cable-wifi/124374)._
