Is it possible to have LLDP added to Home Assistant? I use LLDP to map devices in my home, I have 2 HP managed switches and PFsense at the network core, all of which support LLDP info data. I am not sure if this is an OS modification or a kernal level modification.

I’ve created a simple addon to add LLDP support.

Feel free to have a look at my snmpd add-on which also brings LLDP support

btw. lldp is a daemon running on the host OS - based on your provided data, i assume you are not using HAOS?

I’m using HAOS.

lldpd works fine in a container when given access to the host network.
The hostname is scraped from the supervisor using bashio.
