IP Configuration

By default, SeloraBox uses DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address from your network. If you need a fixed IP address (for example, to ensure devices and integrations like MQTT always reach Home Assistant at the same address), you can configure a static IP during the claim process or after installation.

Configuration Modes

SeloraBox supports three network configuration modes:

DHCP (Default)

The device automatically obtains its IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings from your network’s DHCP server. This is the simplest option and works for most setups.

DHCP + Fixed IP

The device uses DHCP for gateway and DNS settings but assigns a fixed IP address that you specify. This is useful when you want a predictable IP address without having to configure all network parameters manually.

You need to provide:

• IP Address: The static IP to assign (e.g., 192.168.2.233)
• Prefix Length: The subnet prefix length (e.g., 24 for a 255.255.255.0 subnet)

Manual

Full manual network configuration. Use this when you need complete control over all network parameters, or when DHCP is not available on the network.

You need to provide:

• IP Address: The static IP to assign
• Prefix Length: The subnet prefix length
• Gateway IP: The network gateway address (must be in the same subnet as the IP address)
• DNS: The DNS server address

Setting IP During Claim

When claiming a new installation in Selora Connect, you can configure the IP address under Advanced Settings before clicking Connect Server.

The default is DHCP. Expand the Advanced Settings section to choose DHCP + IP or Manual if you need a fixed address.

Changing IP After Installation

You can also change the IP configuration at any time from the Installation page in Selora Connect:

1. Navigate to the Installation page for the device
2. Under Services, find the Home Assistant section
3. Click the edit icon next to the IP address
4. Select the desired mode and enter the new settings
