Valetudo configuration url #1831
-
In my vacuum, I receive an MQTT topic with a DNS name for configuration_url. However, there seems to be an issue in my network that prevents its usage. It's says "valetudo-chubbypunywoodcock.local’s server IP address could not be found." As a result, the button in Home Assistant doesn't work, and I have to manually enter the IP address to access the device. Is it possible to change the configuration_url value to the device's IP address?

The issue with providing an IP there is "Which IP do you provide there?", because there could be 1-n options. Do you pick the IPv4 Address? Because that's a question that has no clear answer, instead the autoconfiguration data contains the mdns .local hostname which will just work. Unless it doesn't of course but that's a network issue and not a Valetudo issue. In general however, that configuration url button in the home assistant device details page isn't very relevant as it only exists to make it easier to work with for newcomers. As you do know the IP of the robot, you won't need that button. |

Do you pick the IPv4 Address?
Do you pick the IPv6 Address?
If so, which IPv6 Address do you pick? The current one? One of the previous ones that have been rotated/changed but are still valid?
