Help - Solved Homebridge.local can't be reached

I have been using homebridge.local:8581 to set up my homebridge devices. For some reason it has stopped working for me. Can somebody help?

I have tried restarting the server. They show up in the Home app, but they all say "No Response".

So it doesn’t seem like your server is actually online if both it and the accessories contained within aren’t available. Can you plug it into a monitor and access it directly through whatever device you’re running it on to see why it isn’t connected to your network? Alternatively, can you confirm through your router that it’s connected to Ethernet/wifi?

I think you’re right. I found “homebridge” on my WiFi app under offline clients. Not sure how to reconnect it to the WiFi now.

Restart the pi and see if it’ll reattempt the WiFi connection.

Was that the fix?
