Allow changing IP/Smart things access token after initial configuration
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am doing some network configuration. The IP for the TV appears to be effectively hard-coded once initially configured, which is very inconvenient when it changes.
Additionally, if you don't configure a SmartThings token when initially setting up the TV, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it in the options.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow changing of the IP by some option in the settings after the initial setup.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Configuring a new entity each time is doable, but a pain in terms of fixing orphaned mentions of device/services, and requires copying across the settings from the old entity.
If you start again a new config flow the procedure should detect that the new ip refer to the same device and just update the existing one.
It's good to know that things "should" work automatically, but assuming it doesn't - for some obscure reason - the OP's question remains: Is there a way to manually check and possibly edit the IP ?
Nothing is "automatic" in the procedure that I explain. You manually reconfigure, and if the config flow detect that device ID is the same of one existing it update the IP. The only alternative is delete and recreate.
Ok, and how do I manually reconfigure (change) the IP?
