Access Point

Describe the bug Not sure if it is a bug or a feature request. It would be great to access ESPixelStick not by IP address only but by its network QDN ( http://espixelstick.local or similar)

This is already available. The hostname field in the network settings defines the network name used to resolve the PixelSticks IP address.

Thanks @MartinMueller2003 . It is not working for me now, but I will try connecting with other router and report here.

Ok. This is working in another router. The problem was that the router I first tested with, instead of using ".local", it uses ".home"
