When setting up my Voice PE device I get the error in the attached image. I believe this is because I have my local home assistant instance proxied behind Caddy which uses a self-signed certificate. I access my HA instance through https://hass.local because I use mdns to advertise that domain name.

I punched open 8123 to my container and then set my HA network address (Settings > System > Network) and put in the URL http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8123 and I was able to successfully complete the setup and the device works as expected.

Is there a way to get my PE device to work with self-signed certs and mdns? I'm not sure which exactly is the problem.

in settings - system - network. in the url section is there any errors? when the VPE plays something from HA it is streamed by a URL that's sent to it and it is generated using the url here as base so it must be working.

self signed certs can cause some issues but most of the time its a misconfiguration thats causing the issue.
