Also, I cannot telnet to port 80. The device does show in my router, but without the ".local" extension. The name (without .local) resolves to the right IP address.

FWIW, I resolved my issue by changing the WIFI network to use my "IoT" network instead of "Guest". The guest gave a 192.168.200.X address and the IoT gave 192.168.1.X... I presume this was the key issue since my HA device is on 192.168.1.x. That, or maybe the guest network didn't allow services to run listening on ports.
