This is pretty common. The integration gets the units' local IP address from the KumoCloud service. If you chose "prefer cache" at setup, this is done only once, at setup. If not, it's done at HA startup.

But, the KumoCloud service is pretty bad about updating this value in their API. For some folks it never even seems to get set. So, you have a few choices:

• If you installed using "prefer cache": Shut down HA, edit your kumo_cache.json to reflect the new addresses, restart
• If you did not use "prefer cache", try to get the Kumo Cloud service to refresh. Rumor has it there's a refresh button inside installer settings somewhere that may help, but nobody has been able to verify.
• Uninstall & reinstall the integration (restarting HA in between each step), this time picking "prefer cache". You may be given the opportunity to input the correct IPs, or at least be able to do the first bullet in this list.
• Revert your network to the old, working IP assignments :-)

• For that refresh -
  Android Kumo App
  Choose Settings Gear - System Setup
  Choose Installer Settings and choose "skip"
  Choose your site - then one of the units
  Then Advanced - and at the bottom is the Refresh Settings option - read and click Refresh Settings
• back out to do other units...
• refresh seemed to do nothing however.

meanwhile - installing HACS - my units were detected - and everything was lovely

• an hour later they went "unknown" (and since, inspite of deleting and starting over) still show as "Unavailable"

edit: after some fnckery - i reassigned IPs in the network, HA VM reboots and reassignments, and locked IPs to the PACs, then adjusted the Kumo Config to set IPs there...
a few reboots and restarts later - they appeared :P
woot....
