Zeroconf

The Zeroconf backend advertises the node on the local network via mDNS/DNS-SD as _http._tcp.local. (instance odio-api).

This lets native clients like Home Assistant discover nodes automatically — no manual IP entry. Web applications cannot use Zeroconf (browsers don’t have access to UDP multicast), which is why the odio application requires manual configuration.

Endpoints

Section titled “Endpoints”

The Zeroconf backend has no REST endpoints — it only handles mDNS advertisement in the background.

Configuration

Section titled “Configuration”
zeroconf:
  enabled: true

Zeroconf is automatically disabled when the API is bound to loopback only.
