|
The ``mdns`` component makes the node announce itself on the local network using the multicast DNS (mDNS) protocol.
|
|
|
|
Both Home Assistant and the ESPHome dashboard use mDNS to identify the IP address of all ESPHome nodes on the network.
|
|
If mDNS is disabled, they will no longer be able to automatically find your devices. It may be necessary to use a static
|
|
IP for all nodes and to enable the ping option in the Home Assistant add-on.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to leave mDNS enabled.
