ESPHome use IP instead of *.local

Tnx. If only i would know where to fix mdns across my vlans🤷🏻‍♂️
As said dont block any traffic between vlans and have no mdns implemented, just dns and dhcp server running on an ubuntu vm

Aaah found something in my ubiquity, seems rule 0 defaults blocks this traffic

Worth fixing now. Because things like matter rely solely on mDNS working. And as time goes on you will more than likely end up wanting to bring a matter device into the network…

Did this fix your issue? I’m unable to get IPs assigned to ESPhome on my network, using a Unifi dream machine pro.

Yes i did, following the guidelines in the link i mentioned earlier. Mdns was blocked in my firewall…

use_address works perfectly.
