RS700 .local

 


Does anyone know why I can't access the homeassistant.local:8123. I can't access any domain that has .local in my plan. I've changed the DNS that didn't work. I dont know what else to do

I think it has something to do with mdns but I don't know how to fix this. This never used to happen. please help

    Is this something on your LAN side network? 

    What brand and model Device is this? 

    When was the last time this worked?

      I suppose your Home Assistant hub is on your local network (LAN), does the hub have the same IP subnet as the RS700's LAN?

       

      RS700 does not block or filter DNS / mDNS queries or multicast packets destined to a local device. A local device means the device is connected to the RS700 and has the same IP subnet as the RS700's LAN.

       

      If the hub is running on a router and that router uses its WAN / internet port to connect to a LAN port on the RS700, it will not work either since a home router usually blocks multicast packets from the WAN/internet port.
