Hi, I am trying to make baby steps at HA with integrating ESP32 dev board into it, however I seem to be stuck on the very doorstep. I could not ping it from Windows machine by name, so I had to put it into hosts file. I don’t see a way to do this in HA however, so I either need a solution for ESP32 mDNS problem or a way to edit hosts file in HA.
opened 03:56PM - 31 Jan 22 UTC
integration: mdns
### The problem
Detected that ESP32 devices are not properly announcing mDNS .l… ocal domain when using multicast-relay solution. Before moving to this mDNS solution, I was using Avahi service that was working as expected. This brings the Offline status on ESPHome main page.
The nuance in this issue is that I have a ESP8266 with almost the same settings as my ESP32 (2 devices) and this is working as expected.
On my local network, in multiple VLAN configured, I can ping ESP8266 .local DNS name but the ones for ESP32 are not pingable. For the IoT VLAN, I have a specific internal DNS domain and all the devices are pingable. If I set the `domain:` setting using my internal DNS for the specific IoT VLAN, nothing changes but I'm able to access the logs and upgrade ESP32 firmwares.
Checking multicast-relay logs on the specific docker image, I can see that when the devices boot, they send multicast request to all VLAN configured during the first 5 seconds the device are online, but then stops. Instead, for ESP8266, it initiates the initial announce broadcast and then continue to broadcast each 15-90 seconds, as expected.
