I had a reef-pi name already set previously. I just used http://cardenpi.local and was able to log in via Chrome. Thanks for everyone's help!

Network is not required (or address change does not impact ) local host calls, as it stays within the host. For Kasa strips or any ip powered device or sensor IP change will impact and reef-pi functionality , but reef-pi 5.3 on wards users should get email /sms alerts (Assuming internet access is not impaired). If there’s internet access impairment but local WiFi is still functioning , without any IP reassignments, then everything should be fine.The lease on the Pi expired and the router (part of the gateway) re-assigned the address. Normally people don't have a lot going on their networks so the router will just re-assign the same ip but sometimes the router decides to re-assign a new one. You can use the localhost pathing to solve this problem.
@Ranjib what is used when you make a localhost call?
Do you have devmode enabled? Do you see any errors in the log ?I am having major software issue. Reef-pi doesn't seem to be recognizing my pca9685 anymore, lights aren't working. The relay controlling my NC powerhead is stuck on. The timer for my fuge light doesn't turn the light on/off but I can switch it manually in the equipment tab.
I tried restarting the Raspberry-Pi several times. I've tried deleting outlets, equipment, timers, lights and none of it fixed anything.
Unfortunately I didn't make a back up so I'd have to start over if that's the solution.
Not if you have the lite OS, that's the whole point I think.I am unsure of either question. When I got home to check via wifi I discovered the Raspberry-Pi wasn't logged into wifi. I am going to have to connect a monitor to check. I installed the lite OS Is there a way to get to the reef-pi UI from the command prompt?
Had a similar moment recently. Try writing another SD card with the Raspbian OS you want to use, that "resuscitated" my Pi Zero W ^^Seems like my Raspberry-Pi Zero W got fried somehow. The LEDs don't light up on the raspberry.
I managed to get a Raspberry-Pi 3 B from Adafruit by luck and it seems it is DOA! It powers up the desktop appears but the keyboard and mouse don't function. Also the Raspberry-Pi didn't log into my wifi so I can't SSH into the desktop.
Looking super sleek
Most home routers allow you to permanently assign the same IP to a host name. You can go that route as well. For Asus it's under settings | lan | ip binding.The lease on the Pi expired and the router (part of the gateway) re-assigned the address. Normally people don't have a lot going on their networks so the router will just re-assign the same ip but sometimes the router decides to re-assign a new one.
