Hi all,
Since a couple weeks I am unable to open the web UI of home assistant locally from my PC when using the http://homeassistant.local:8123/ URL. The page opens to the HA logo with the message “Unable to connect to Home Assistant.”, a button to retry , and a timer to retry automatically. (none of which change anything)
Strangely this only happens with the “homassistant.local” URL, if I use the fix IP address instead (http://192.168.1.xxx:8123/) it opens the web UI as expected. The app on mobile works fine as well. And now and again after a PC restart the link actually works, although never for long…
The issue happens in Chrome, Edge, as well as any incognito window. I tried to clear the cache and temp files from the browser but no change. When opening in a fresh browser I will first get a login screen, but once the credentials are entered I am back to the error screen.
Any clue as what could be the reason? Obviously I have an easy workaround but I still feel it should be working.
I am running HA on a Raspberry Pi 4.
- Core 2023.11.3
- Supervisor 2023.11.6
- Operating System 11.1

Thanks in advance!
