The `zeroconf` component exposes your Home Assistant to the local network using [Zeroconf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking). Zeroconf is also sometimes known as Bonjour, Rendezvous and Avahi.
|
|
|
|
To integrate this into Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
zeroconf:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The registration will include metadata about the Home Assistant instance, including a base URL that can be used to access Home Assistant, the currently running Home Assistant version, and whether an API password is needed to access the instance.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ avahi-browse -alr
|
|
+ eth0 IPv4 Home _home-assistant._tcp local
|
|
= eth0 IPv4 Home _home-assistant._tcp local
|
|
hostname = [Home._home-assistant._tcp.local]
|
|
address = [192.168.0.5]
|
|
port = [8123]
|
|
txt = ["version=0.27.0.dev0" "base_url=http://192.168.0.5:8123" "requires_api_password=true"]
|
|
```
