[pimatic-tradfri] Finding IP address Tradfri hub
Maybe not directly Pimatic related, but I can’t find out what the IP address is of my Tradfri Hub. Does this have to do with this e.g. COAP, DNS-DS techniques?
Can anybody guide me in this process? I already tried using Fing on my phone, nmap & arp on the RPi but no success sofar. Still the hub communicates perfectly over the network with my phone.

If you can’t get the ip address from your router status page.
One easy way is the android app:
zero conf browser
just install and go to the coap section.
it needs some app restart if you don’t see the gateway directly
i will implement a autodiscovery function in future release
Thanks!! Didn’t know this tool.
Will check it out!
Thanks for the great help! I can now actually see the hub through this tool (I went nuts over this).
The tool yields an IP-address that lies outside my local network (192.168.0.0/24). Nevertheless, it after a re-install of the plugin it works perfectly!.
Can now start exploring the Tradfri capabilities!
@bart-huitsing Just make sure that your tradfri hub always gets the same ip address. Otherwise it won’t work after restarting the hub.

@michbeck100 Thanks for the suggestion.
I wouldn’t know how to do this over my modem/router if the Tradfri allocates and IP via zeroconf that lies outside my IP range.
