Support Apple Bonjour protocol to make MM easily discoverable on the network

It’s great using the Wifi adapter with the MM, but it would be amazing if it could show up as a network device that advertised itself via Bonjour. For example advertising an address such as 4msmetamodule.local means you can access it directly without knowing the IP address which may change.

This does require that the MM Wifi stack support both Bonjour and also a network drive so that it can appear as a storage device. That could make this too difficult to implement.

Not Bounjour, but mdns sometimes works. It does sometimes show up as espressif.local. Whether or not that works for you depends on wifi router settings and various other devices on your network (Personally I’ve never had it work reliably at home or office – but some people get it to work). Officially the sure-fire method for getting the IP address is from the MM Info page, but if you can get the mdns method to work, then that’s great. But we don’t want to handle all the customer support that comes with complicated networking issues, so keeping it simple is key.

That makes a lot of sense - too many variables involved. I’ll try the local network option
