When employing the TP-Link Smart Home integration, it asks for the HOST or IP address of the device. What exactly is the HOSTNAME? Just trying to understand.
Others may know better, but I seem to remember that this integration discovers devices automatically after you have added them in the TP Link App (on your phone).
I agree with your comments, but what still is meant by Hostname? I have seen it in various posts but can’t find any definition. Both my username and my email address are rejected, though that is what appears on my TP-Link app.
hostname is the friendly dns name for the device. so for example homeassistant often has an ip address like 192.168.0.50. but the hostname is often homeassistant.local
