Why are you using IP addresses directly? That's what DNS is for. There's even mDNS for in simple home networks.

(The DHCP thing is valid but that's one single android dev being an ass who can't read deciding that it imposes limitations it doesn't and ruining it for the rest of us)

Sometimes DNS is down, like when I rand pfSense and the prefix changed, so I like to have the core services in my network on easily accessible IPs.
