How to get the IP of the resolved service?

[jonnybrooks]

Hi there! First of all thanks for making this package, it works super great OOTB.

The only trouble I'm having is how to get the IP of the published service after resolving it... doing a code search, I see that service.ip was updated to service.host, but when I print out service.host it isn't an IP address but the host name like "Android.local."

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey,

Why do you want to resolve a service host ? Most of the time you only need an host 🙂

Hey @Skyost, thanks for the reply! How is it possible to query the service without an IP? Sorry for the n00b question, but I thought the host name was just "superficial" - so it's possible to make an http request like: http://Android.local:3000/ or something?

Sorry for the delay, I was super busy until last week. Yep, you can totally make your requests to homeassistant.local instead of 192.168.1.100 🙂

That's so cool! Thank you very much. Can't wait to try this out :D
