Multicast DNS (mDNS)

An implementation of mDNS would really be helpfull! A fixed IP or having to configure the router's DHCP are not always the best solutions - and in those cases mDNS has worked very well in the Arduino core for ESP8266 https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree ... SP8266mDNS

I'm looking for the same thing and now it's a year after your post. Anyone have some tips on other ways to not hardcode the IP address in our code?

Thanks all for the tips...

I got it to work with asyncio mDNS+Webserver. It's not pretty but it's doing the trick and running well on ESP8266.
See github

Again thanks to all of you experts for your time putting phenomenal content on this forum!
