I don't have a WF, but the lack of static IP may not be an issue if your router is able to do DHCP Reservations.
If you can get the MAC Address of the device, and set a DHCP Reservation for it, then the device will get the same IP every time it renews its DHCP lease. This is how I manage all my IoT devices (since most of those cannot be set to static).
