169.254 is the prefix used for an automatic assignment of an IP address when DHCP lookup fails.
As for the rest ... I don't know the answer but can you simply delay the LMS startup until a 192.168 IP address has been assigned or the router can be pinged ... or failing that just make it wait N seconds. The typical way to do this it for wait-for-network in systemctl startup but I don't know if that treats a 169.254 as the network being available.
