IP Change causes a connection error - is this a bug?

[ksdehoff]

Hello:

Just discovered why this plugin hasnt been connecting correctly. When running the discovery for the hub the plugin always finds the hub but when I enable the hub I get this error:

The Connection to Hub with ID 5f108f0d94627fb5e056080b4d1d5af09c883e29 failed with message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.xxx.yyy:5222

So as it turns out my DHCP server changed the hub's IP address. Should the plugin be able to recognize and deal with changing IP address - especially since discovery clearly sees the hub?
For now I fixed it by deleting and recreating the hub and devices.

You could just make a static DHCP assignment for the IP on the hub. Problem solved.

I would recommend a static DHCP. Beside that you can adjust the auto discovery (in the general settings) and it will fix it on the next discovery cycle.
