Hi, Recently my HC Lite crashed again. usually a power cycle is enough to get it back, but this time I couldn't access it anymore after cycling it. Tried power cycling it again, and again. No change. Tried the soft reset. Same problem. Checking on my router, where I configured a fixed IP to be allocated to it in the DHCP tables based on it's MAC address, I saw it wasn't listed as usual. As a last resort I pressed power and reset for 10 seconds, hoping it would default to 192.168.81.1 as per the documentation. I then connected it directly to my PC (using a switch of course), changed the IP settings of the Ethernet device on my PC as per the instructions online on Fibaro UK: http://www.fibarouk.co.uk/support/getting-started/network-settings-home-center/ Click on your network connection near your clock. Click Open Network and Sharing Center Click Change adapter settings Right click on Local Area Connection Click Properties Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click Properties Take note of the settings here as you will need to change them back later Click Use the following IP address In the IP address box, enter 192.168.81.5 In the Subnet mask box, enter 255.255.255.0 In the Default gateway box, enter 192.168.81.1 Click OK Click Close There will be a delay while the settings are processed. Result: still no way to access the HC. I'm out of options now. If I power cycle the device the lights wave in and out to the center light and back out. Anyone has some tips or ideas? Thank you, APGC
