Ha! Change what I said... Must not have waited long enough. As you
did, simply joining the AP, the 'Service Browser' app eventually did
discover the module at 192.168.4.1, with my car's ID. The 'ZeroConf
Browser' app had a problem with it (said there was something there,
but no information). This on both my phone (Android 8.1) and tablet
(Android 7.0).<br>
<br>
Of course, since my phone got a 192.168.4.2 IP Address, it wasn't
too hard to guess where the module was.<br>

It does work on my iOS devices.

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""> Yeah,
probably more complicated and proprietary than we need.
Just need to put 192.168.4.1 in the manual, after all.
Done.<br class="">

From my understanding, Zeroconf / mDNS rely on a
pre-existing IP network. They don’t address the wifi
side of things at all.

<div class="">Hi Michael,<br class="">
<br class="">
I trying to figure out how Zeroconf is
supposed to work, given the<br class="">
networking services that the module
currently supports. Perhaps I don't<br
class="">
understand mDNS well enough, but don't we
need some means to broadcast<br class="">
our presence, separate from the network?<br
class="">
<br class="">
I was able to run the ZeroConf Browser on my
Android phone (Google<br class="">
Pixel2, latest code), and it did discover
the module. But that was only<br class="">
when the module and phone were both
connected by wifi to the home<br class="">
network. When it was running in AP mode,
with the phone connected to<br class="">
the home network, there is no way for the
phone to see the mDNS service<br class="">
announcement packets. <br class="">
<br class="">
I did a wireless trace of the wifi beacons,
thinking it might be<br class="">
broadcast in there, but didn't find anything
service-oriented other than<br class="">
the usual stuff. The only wifi adapter that
I could get to cooperate<br class="">
with me today was a really old one
(11b-only), so perhaps there's<br class="">
something at an 11g/n level that I can't
see? <br class="">
<br class="">
I'm thinking we need some out-of-band
channel for the broadcasts, for<br class="">
example, Bluetooth. Isn't there a service
there for this purpose? How<br class="">
is this supposed to work? <br class="">
<br class="">
