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="">There are some approaches to dealing with

<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="">
