Hi @omniuser444, I don't know much about HOOBS but the above error typically occurs when a Node.js application tries to send a UDP packet to a multicast address, but the network configuration prevents communication with that address. You may want to check your network settings or firewall rules to ensure that multicast communication is allowed. Additionally, make sure that the address and port being used are correct.
The address 224.0.0.251 is a reserved multicast address commonly used for mDNS (Multicast DNS) service, and port 5353 is the standard port for mDNS.
The error does not seem to be related to the OmniLink plugin as it only uses TCP, not UDP (i.e. the dgram.js library). It seems like the error might be from HOOBS itself.
Have you tried using the plugin in Homebridge directly which is the recommended way.
