Unable to access my home battery's IP address (172.16.XXX.YY)
Hi, I have two Sonnenbatteries. I used to be able to access the configuration/admin website by going to an IP address 172.16.XXX.YY. I have changed my Orbi (RBR50 and two RBS50 satellites) settings ...
CrimpOn is exactly correct. If you reconnected them, they probably have different IP addresses. Log into the orbi and look at the attached devices page. It should have their IP address.

So, the LAN cables from the batteries go into a mini switch which is then attached to a Hive hub. In my devices I can see the Hive hub, but not the batteries connecting into it…
are you able to log into the hive hub and see whats attached?
Which specific Hive Hub is this? (I see two models on the Hive web site.)
Both of the Hive Hubs that I see appear to have only one Ethernet connector, which is used to connect the Hub to the home router.
It appears that the switch has three cables. Where do they go to?
- The switch has the two LANs from the solar batteries going into it, the third cable is then feeding into the USB of the Hive hub. The LAN of the hive then connects into the mesh (well my TP-Link gigabit switch). The Hive is a nano 2 Hub V2 and is used by my battery provider to manage smart grid features.
I'm just very confused. The picture seems to show three white Ethernet cables plugged into the switch plus one black cable that looks a lot like a power supply. The cables going into the Hive Hub are one white power supply cable, one white Ethernet cable, and one black cable going into the USB port.
The Hive web site is not particularly helpful in describing the purpose of the Hive Nano 2.5 USB port. Posts on the community seem to hint that it might be for
- Some future use?
- Perhaps a method of powering the Hub?
There's no chance that both the Hive Hub and this switch are connected to the home network?
So far everything I read about Hive is that the Hub uses Zigbee wireless to communicate with Hive devices, not Ethernet.
