In the Powerview app (v2.10.7) on my Homey pro 2023 edition my IP address for the gateway changes every few days. While my Poweview gateway keeps having the same IP address. I have only added the primary gateway, the other 3 gateways are not installed on the Homey as they won’t add any features. Also if the IP adress has changed it isn’t in one of the other IP adress of the gateways. I have disabled the IP-address updates for the window coverings API version is number 3 Update frequency is 15 minutes I have about 8 flows using the Powerview gateway Also I have to reboot the app every 4 / 5 days as it stops working if the used memory reaches more then approx 55MB, the IP address doesn’t change at reboot. After the reboot or setting the right IP address the app works for me. ---

This is caused by DHCP of your DHCP server (usually a part of your router). It’s best to reserve IP addresses on your DHCP server for all wifi devices you connect to Homey. If you can’t find a howto in the router’s manual: [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+reserve+IP+addresses](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+reserve+IP+addresses) > [@Eddy\_Rutten](#): > > I have disabled the IP-address updates for the window coverings > API version is number 3 > Update frequency is 15 minutes I don’t understand what you mean by this. ---

That are advanced settings within de Homey app of the device, which I didn’t change by the way. ---

I’m having the same issue since a few days, maybe weeks. It started after a power-shutdown. If I want to set the setting of the PowerView-G3: “IP adres van de raambekleding bijwerken” to YES, I get a Time out. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-03-31 om 18.15.24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/8/783a83f375879118a0bf54fe59d8efec93d29ebb.png) ---

Seems like a Homey-related issue, the app doesn’t run any code before the settings are saved (only after the settings are saved) ---
