Change .local domain

ESPHome
1

Hi,
I have setup a new instance of Home Assistant and it works fine so far.
First I wondered why the post installtion wanted to connect to homeassistant.local:8123 and can’t connect.
But I changed this to homeassistant.mydomain:8123 and it works now.

But now I tried to install my first ESP32 module and everytime I want to upload something the log says:
can’t find IP for esp32.local
That’s correct, because there is no .local domain.

So, how can I change the domain setting?

Regards
Florian

You set this up in the wifi component:

  • domain ( Optional , string): Set the domain of the node hostname used for uploading. For example, if it’s set to .local , all uploads will be sent to <HOSTNAME>.local . Defaults to .local .

You can‘t. But your router device can assign a „real“ domain to your HA device.
