Pi Problems

[DavidJ]

I\'ve been running the system rock solid for around a year. Today I lost ST communication the Comfort interface so plugged the Pi into an HDMI to see what it was doing. It seems to have changed IP and it doesn\'t except my login credentials. Its now sitting at \"login alpha-uhai\".I can also access the Automation interface.Any help greatly appreciated as I have become reliant on this.Thanks

Have you checked you router settings and connections......

[DavidJ]

That\'s not changed at all. But yes 8 checked it.

You will not be able to login from the PI directly something to do with the alphworks setup but if the PI is working the ST has a habit of loosing comms, You should be able to see if the PI is doing what it is supposeed to be doing from the Alphaworks interface. if there are issues with the PI connection and the sd card has been hammered, the likehood is that it is the PSU on the PI this seems to be the most common fault that triggers issues with the PI but I am unsure what youa re saying you lost your comms on either PI or S
THe PI ip address should be available form your router, make sure it is a static address...

Thanks for feedback. That explains why I can\'t login. So it seems that the problem must be that it has for some reason changed the IP from.48 to .130.
Any idea how I can change it back as I assume that would fix the issue?

That has to be set from your router settings not the R-PI, I dont know if that will fix the problem though. Either way you should make a static local address regardless from the router settings.

I am sure I would have set a fixed IP to the Pi initially. I am not sure how/if I can change its IP at the Router as I have an over complex (for me) Mikrotic router...

Thanks for help. I managed to change the IP and now all works perfectly again, appreciate advice.
