Configuring Devices for Manual Discovery

When mDNS discovery doesn't work in your network environment, you can configure the TOMMY instance details directly during the device flashing process. This allows devices to connect to your TOMMY instance even when automatic discovery fails.

During Flashing

When flashing your device using either the TOMMY Flasher or ESPHome, you can provide optional instance details:

• Instance IP: The IP address where your TOMMY instance is running (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
• UDP Relay Port: The default is 8547 unless overridden

TOMMY Flasher

When using the TOMMY Flasher, you will be able to configure these optional fields during Wi-Fi provisioning:

• Instance IP: 192.168.1.100
• UDP Relay Port: 8547

See the TOMMY Flasher guide for complete instructions.

ESPHome

When using ESPHome, add the optional configuration to your device YAML:

sensor_tommy:
  instance_ip: "192.168.1.100"
  udp_relay_port: 8547

See the ESPHome flashing guide for complete instructions.
