Hi All, I cannot keep the connection stable to my pi. I put HAOS on a pi5 and I managed to get logged in on the app eventually and everytime I leave and come back it cannot reconnect.

It says it needs to refresh external IP but I only use it locally so I cant see why it would need this and I have location access allowed so it should know I am home.

I am also attempting to access on local IP 8321 and failing.

How is the raspberry pi connected to the router? Have you used it for other projects in the past? What are you using for storage? Is the storage name brand or the cheapest thing you could buy? Did you use the storage for something else first? If yes how long? Have you connected the raspberry pi to a monitor and checked the logs/ made sure it's running properly? Did you set a static ip address in HomeAssistant or set a static reservation in your router?

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot?
