Update Hostname for automatic Dynamic DNS/DHCP address assignment for services like Pi-Hole

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

Would this make it so you can access the device over [device-id-here].local using mDNS?

Makr91 commented 2 years ago

This doesn't enable MDNS, but that Arduino Library can be added.

If you have a Pi-Hole instance, the device will always show up with it's programmed Hostname (Usually something like ESP-XXXX) in your DHCP interface list of clients.

If you're Pi-hole or DNS server does automatically append a search domain onto your hostnames. Then yes, theoretically this should work to allow you to access it via a hostname of your choice.

So for example, I set the device ID on my AirGradient Wemos to 'air-sensor-01' and since I have not yet added it to a static DNS entry in Pi-Hole or via my other upstream servers, and Since the Pi-hole does append my internal domain, I can access it anywhere inside my local environment that uses the Pi-Hole DNS, for example the following address:

http://air-sensor-01.int.dc-01.m4kr.net:9926/

I am pseudo-familiar with mDNS, if you want I can add that before we commit this.

@Makr91 - No, I'd be okay without it; didn't think about how it would show up in Pi-hole!

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@Makr91 - One quick question, didn't think about this until just now — if the deviceId is set to empty string, it shouldn't be used for the hostname. Could you do a follow-up PR to put an if around the set hostname bit and make sure the deviceId isn't empty?
