#How to find IP address for a Wyoming Protocol service?

I have a few Wyoming Protocol speakers in my home and need to work on one of them. However it's name (voice3.local) is not showing up in my router's list of issued IP addresses. It does work, so I know it is using an IP.
I've tried power cycling it to force it to ask for an IP, but I see no change.

Ideally, I'd love to see HA have the IP of the service listed in the Service page under a Wyoming Protocol instance.

I'm hoping to avoid brute force methods like using nmap to find every open port 22 on my network as a) it's inelegant and b) it would take time to try logging into each and every device with an open ssh port.

Any ideas?

Did you try to ping that name?

The 2025.6 beta has a network browser that shows zeroconf, ssdp, and DHCP devices that it's discovered

@meager ridge Thanks for getting back to me! Yes, I tried pinging it, got a name or service not known (ping'd from a linux box). The network browser sounds ideal to my needs. How hard is it to switch back and forth between beta and production?

Switching to beta is easy, but it's not recommended to rollback without restoring a backup

#

There are also lots of ways to browse for zeroconf advertisements depending on the platform you're using

Thanks .. I'll look into the zeroconf angle of things. HA is running in a virtual machine, but I have plenty of linux devices scattered around the house I can use for hunting zeroconf. 🙂

Ok, didn't find it via arp or zeroconf, used nmap for anything with an open port 22 and it's not any of those. I'll pull the SD and re-image / reconfigure. That said, the non-wyoming esp32 based speaker works well too.
