Apex hostname won't resolve #8

Always have to use IP address - need to figure out why

Names with ".local" are a known problem inside Home Assistant containers (https://github.com/home-assistant/plugin-dns/pull/86). As a consequence, we shouldn't rely on the ability to resolve a name with ".local". It almost feels like HASS is stripping that off the name before it tries to resolve.

From Neptune tech support (Morgan Wood), "There is no way to get around using .local." My observation is the hostname "apex" will not resolve from any of my options, where "apex.local" will (web browser, ping, etc.).

The net net - we have to use the IP address to resolve the apex host in this integration.
