If it's not possible to have Home Assistant and the devices on the same network, mDNS forwarding can be enabled to allow mDNS discovery between networks. If it's not possible to have Home Assistant and the devices on the same network, mDNS forwarding may allow mDNS discovery between networks.
mDNS forwarding is a configurable option in some routers. It can also be called mDNS reflector or mDNS repeater, depending on the manufacturer. mDNS forwarding is a configurable option in some routers. It can also be called mDNS reflector or mDNS repeater, depending on the manufacturer.
For a Linux server acting as router, set up avahi-reflector on the server to make mDNS work between the networks:
{% raw %}
```text
# Install the Avahi-daemon
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
# Turn on the reflector. Go into /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and change the reflector section to:
[reflector]
enable-reflector=yes
reflect-ipv=no
# (re)start the Avahi daemon to reload config
sudo service avahi-daemon restart
```
