Static IP address disappears after firmware update

[mrclmller]

I have a problem assigning a static IP address to glow. If I assign a static IP address as described in the ESPhome WiFi component documentation, I get an error message during installation stating that the manifest could not be reached due to a DNS failure.

relevant yaml-section

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

  # Set up a wifi access point
  ap:
    ssid: '${friendly_name}'

  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 192.168.0.123
    gateway: 192.168.0.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0

Below is the relevant installation log portion.
Apparently, no DNS server is assigned due to which the address for the manifest site cannot be resolved. In this case, I do not get the notification that version 4.2.3 is available in HA. The static IP address assigned works.

If I add a DNS server to the manual IP definition, e.g. DNS1: 1.1.1.1, then the manifest is accessed and after installation, I get the notification of a firmware update to 4.2.3.The static address initially assigned still works.
After performing the update to 4.2.3, the static IP initially defined is disregarded and a different IP address is assigned through DHCP.

Am I misunderstanding how to define the static IP, or is there something else I am not aware of?

It is better to create an issue for this instead of a discussion topic.

I have no experience with setting a static IP myself. If you make changes to the YAML config via ESPHome dashboard and install the firmware. Then it could very well be that a firmware update from the repository will undo your changes.

Thanks, I will create an issue. Will look further into it, but my skills in that area are limited.
