{% linkable_title Troubleshooting %}

{% linkable_title UPnP %}

Home Assistant must be on the same network as the devices for uPnP discovery to work. If running Home Assistant in a Docker container use switch --net=host to put it on the host's network.

{% linkable_title Windows %}

{% linkable_title 64-bit Python %}

There is currently a known issue with running this component on a 64-bit version of Python and Windows.

{% linkable_title Python 3.5 %}

If you are on Windows and you're using Python 3.5, download the Netifaces dependency.

{% linkable_title could not install dependency netdisco %}

If you see Not initializing discovery because could not install dependency netdisco==0.6.1 in the logs, you will need to install the python3-dev or python3-devel package on your system manually (eg. sudo apt-get install python3-dev or sudo dnf -y install python3-devel). On the next restart of Home Assistant, the discovery should work. If you still get an error, check if you have a compiler (gcc) available on your system.

{% linkable_title DSM and Synology %}

For DSM/Synology, install via debian-chroot see this forum post.

{% linkable_title New platforms %}

If you are developing a new platform, please read how to make your platform discoverable for further details.
