Hi.  
Sometimes it happens that all the devices from Yeelight are off line and I only have to press reparing on one device and then all the other devices work. My question is if it is possible to set up some automation when this happens to resolve it automatically.

Below you’ll find a similar topic.  
Probably restarting the app ‘solves’ it.

Do you use reserved IP addresses for all of your yeelights?  
Homey (here) is not good at finding devices when their IP address changes (all the time).

> Hallo allemaal, Ik heb Yeelight gekoppeld aan mijn Homey. Werkt als een tierelier. Echter een paar keer per week worden de lampen uit Homey gegooid… Iemand een oplossing? Als ik de lamp open, dan kan ik hem proberen te herstellen, en dan doen ze t allemaal weer. Maar wel super onhandig als dit zo door blijft gaan… Ik gebruik de homey pro met yeelight v1.0.5 Hulp zou heel fijn zijn hoe dit te voorkomen / oplossen…

Thanks for reposting the topic below. How can I set or correct the IP address on the device?
