Ability to manually configure IP address about presencelight HOT 3 CLOSED

Sadly there is no natural way to obtain a light by IP address alone, as the Yeelight API package does not support that. When you say you PL does not find the light, is there an error that you get at all in the logs?

Same happens for me. I do not get any error in the logs, this is my latest trial to add Yeelight LED strip:
{"Timestamp":"2023-12-18T11:23:40.5586231+01:00","Level":"Information","MessageTemplate":"Yeelight Light Retrieval Initialized","Properties":{"SourceContext":"PresenceLight.Razor.Pages.CustomApiSetup","Application":"PresenceLight"}} {"Timestamp":"2023-12-18T11:23:41.8675734+01:00","Level":"Information","MessageTemplate":"Yeelight Light Retrieval Successful","Properties":{"SourceContext":"PresenceLight.Razor.Pages.CustomApiSetup","Application":"PresenceLight"}}
My Yeelight is on a different (IoT) VLAN though, so this might be due to my network configuration. Although I've opened comms betweent the IoT and Main VLANs, and can ping the device from the computer, PL is not able to find it automatically. If I put both devices on the same VLAN, it works perfectly and keeps working even after I reconnect the computer to main VLAN, until I sleep/turn off the computer. After that I again need to connect to IoT VLAN, find Yeelight and reconnect computer to main VLAN.

Perhaps someone with similar experience and more experience in networking can point me to a root cause?

I have an update. When I posted my comment 3 days ago, I did the "sync process" (switched PC to IoT VLAN, set up yeelight, switched back to main VLAN). Since then, the light is working okay, I can see it in PL app, everything seems to be fine. There was no update to PL app nor light firmware for past few months, but there were a couple of updates to my router firmware, so this was obviously caused by me setup.
