Where have I gone wrong! Home assistant can't see my Lifx devices

Apps and Virtualization

Hi All,

I have am relatively new to TrueNAS and especially Scale.
I have used FreeNAS for years but with all the smart home integrations I thought its time to upgrade.

I made the move and with a few minor hiccups I got Scale 24.10.1 and I have installed both Home Assistant and Plex up and the UI’s are up and running.
Plex seems to be fine but for some reason cant detect my music files.

My main issue is that in Home Assistant I cant seem to detect any of my Lifx smart devices. It does ask for an IP address or host name but I cant seem to find these either. I have the device name eg: Kitchen Light Strip but even with discovery nothing is detected.

Where have a gone wrong and thank you in advance for the help.

Cheers

Hi,
Do you have a separate IoT network where these devices are connected separate from the network you have TrueNas on?

I had this problem when trying to find my Hue bridge, it would not connect as it was located on a different vlan and my firewalls wasnt set up correctly.
But when moving the bridge over to the same vland as TrueNas it found it right away.

This is all new to me, so im a total noob. :slight_smile:
