Shows how to use mDNS to advertise lookup services and hosts
- mDNS is initialized with host name and instance name defined through the project configuration and
_http._tcp
service is added to be advertised - A delegated host
esp32-delegated._local
is added and another_http._tcp
service is added for this host. - WiFi STA is started and trying to connect to the access point defined through the project configuration
- The system event handler is used to pass the network events to mDNS so the service is aware when the interface comes up or down
- GPIO0 (BOOT Button) is initialized as pulled-up input that can be monitored for button press
- Example task is started to check if the button is pressed so it can execute the mDNS queries defined
-
Open the project configuration menu (
idf.py menuconfig
) -
Configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet under "Example Connection Configuration" menu
-
Set
mDNS Hostname
as host name prefix for the device and its instance name inmDNS Instance Name
-
Disable
Resolve test services
to prevent the example from querying defined names/services on startup (cause warnings in example logs, as illustrated below)
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
- Wait for WiFi to connect to your access point
- You can now ping the device at
[board-hostname].local
, where[board-hostname]
is preconfigured hostname,esp32-mdns
by default. - You can also browse for
_http._tcp
on the same network to find the advertised service - Pressing the BOOT button will start querying the local network for the predefined in
check_button
hosts and services - Note that for purpose of CI tests, configuration options of
MDNS_RESOLVE_TEST_SERVICES
andMDNS_ADD_MAC_TO_HOSTNAME
are available, but disabled by default. If enabled, then the hostname suffix of last 3 bytes from device MAC address is added, e.g.esp32-mdns-80FFFF
, and a query for test service is issued.
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-]
.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
