Device discovery not working when connectiong devices to Hassio Access Point #44

Open rrooggiieerr opened 1 year ago

When I have my ESPHome devices connected to my local WiFi network HA detects new ESPHome devices, while when I connect them to the Hassio Access Point they don't seem to be detected.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/discovery/ mentions mDNS needs to be enabled to discover devices.

When I connect my laptop to the Hassio Access Point I can ping the ESPHome divece using the .local hostname. Does this indicate mDNS is actually working? Then something else might be going wrong.

Is mDNS forwarding enabled? That's also mentioned in above link.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/network/ mentions that for Zeroconf to work the ap0 interface should be selected in Settings > System > Network, however I can't select it there

Having the same issue were there is no device discovery when connected to the access point. @rrooggiieerr did you find a solution for this problem?

@mattlongman do you have an idea what the problem could be?

I am having the same problem in 0.4.7 if 'client_internet_access=0'.

If internet access is enable ( 'client_internet_access=1') then it works fine.

edit: after rebooting and giving it 20 minutes(important to give it long time!), it is working normally.
