Access Web Interface with Hostname

Open krzimmer opened this issue 1 month ago • 3 comments

Accessing the web interface by IP address can be tricky for user that might not know which IP was assigned to their clock. Using a hostname would be idea. Maybe http://clock.wise

Hi @krzimmer! The mDNS is configured in Clockwise, you can try to hit clockwise.local from your machine. However, it has some limitation, it doesn't work in every OS.

Perfect. I’ll test that and report back. Thank you @jnthas

@jnthas http://clockwise.local didn't work. I tested from MacOS, iOS and Windows. The WLED project has this feature. I'll look at their code to see how they do it.
