DHCP Server Addon - Not storing hostame

Configuration
1

Hi All,
I’ve had to switch to using HA as the dhcp server as I’ve starting getting a bunch of issues with the router dhcp server. What I’ve noticed is that if I do an pi scan with Angry IP Scanner or similar I don’t see any hostnames associated with IP addresses in the resulting list. I did however see hostnames when IP addresses were allocated by the router dhcp. Is there a setting I’m missing here, why would one resolve the hostnames and the other does not?

Cheers,
Paul

Most routers run a DNS service and have a feature that enables a dynamic update of the DNS based on the DHCP leases.
I do not think the DHCP add-on has a DNS server included af no option to dynamically update a third-party DNS service.

It may need to suffice until I sort something more permanent.
