HA autodiscovery (lemmy.world)

Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble getting back into home assistant. I was running fine on an RPi with HA in docker, but during some tinkering on another project broke the whole thing and it was easier to start from scratch.

Since last time though, I've installed a mesh WiFi system (TP link Deco). These are running in Access Point Mode. My new HA is up and running again, but hasn't auto discovered anything. I recall being surprised last time by the amount of things it found and how easily. I think there are some network settings preventing proper auto discovery, can anyone give me any tips?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure mDNS is working properly in your network.

Thanks! I've seen this phrase before when hunting around some other forum posts. How can I check this? I assume on my router or on the access points? I can't see anything in the Deco app about this, I found this link that suggests it might not be supported?
